The Vitamin Shoppe Launches Holistic Telehealth Service – Vitamin Retailer Magazine

On May 8, The Vitamin Shoppe (Secaucus, NJ) launched Whole Health Rx, an innovative telehealth service that offers a holistic approach to health solutions. It encompasses prescription medications, nutritional supplements for whole-body health and expert guidance on lifestyle practices to support lifelong wellness.

Whole Health Rx will initially launched with a focus on weight management, offering virtual access to GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus (and compounded versions of semaglutide and tirzepatide) via licensed medical providers, the company said. The telehealth services are provided alongside The Vitamin Shoppe’s education resources.

According to the company, Whole Health Rx enables access to a virtual care platform powered by WellSync that safely and seamlessly connects patients with licensed health care providers in real time. This approach is designed to deliver a high standard of personalized care and prescription medications with lower costs and greater convenience. The process begins with an online questionnaire regarding medical history and goals and a live video interview, if necessary.

If approved for a prescription, orders will be quickly fulfilled through Whole Health Rx’s pharmacy partners and delivered via mail, the company said. Monthly subscriptions start at $219 per month ($269 at regular price) with no insurance required.

“Whole Health Rx by The Vitamin Shoppe is a meaningful evolution in our company’s mission to consistently and comprehensively support the health needs of our customers,” said Lee Wright, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe. “As a pioneer in the wellness space since 1977, The Vitamin Shoppe is uniquely positioned to offer a truly holistic approach to weight loss that unites proven pharmaceutical interventions with our unmatched expertise in nutrition support and whole-body health. As we continue to enhance The Vitamin Shoppe’s position as the leading destination for lifelong wellness, Whole Health Rx will expand to meet other health needs beyond weight management.”
