About Vital Hydration

What is Vital Hydration?

Vital Hydration is a wellness center at 10932 Murdock Dr, Suite 102-B, Knoxville, TN 37932. It lists ten services. The two that involve prescription medication are its weight loss program, which uses GLP-1 peptide injections, and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). The rest are wellness treatments such as IV drips, infrared sauna, BrainTap and localized cryotherapy, and memberships bundle them into monthly packages. It does not name who prescribes for either program. Google shows a rating of 5 from 109 reviews, under the category Wellness center. The clinic describes itself as BBB-accredited, and it does not say how many years it has been open. Hours run Monday through Saturday, with Sundays closed. Saturday hours are 10 AM to 3 PM, and the first and third Saturdays are by appointment only.

What does it cost?

The consultation fee is $20. Monthly TRT injections are $199 a month and include 4 injections. The clinic does not publish a price for the weight loss program. It does not say whether the $199 covers the medication, the lab work or follow-up visits. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. Financing is offered. Memberships are monthly packages sold at a discounted rate, and the membership terms say the membership will be set to renew automatically. No cancellation terms are given.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription for the GLP-1 injections and the testosterone, and who reviews your lab results. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded. The clinic's own disclaimer says: "All therapies are specific formulations prepared by Vital Hydration." Ask what that means for the peptides and who makes them. The same disclaimer says the services have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration, so ask what oversight applies to what you would receive. Ask whether the $199 TRT price includes the testosterone, all four injections and the follow-up labs, and what the labs cost on their own. Ask for the full monthly price of the weight loss program, including the check-ins and the monthly Fit 3D scans. Ask whether insurance is accepted and what the financing terms are. Ask whether any visits can be done without coming in, because one place says mobile appointments are available on request and another says the clinic does not offer mobile services. Finally, ask how to cancel a membership and how much notice the automatic renewal requires.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already have a prescriber or know which medication you want, and you want to compare cash prices before you book. It may not suit you if you need a named physician, a published weight loss price or written cancellation terms before you pay.
