UPGUYS

Pros and cons
Numan
Pros
- A single account covers supplements and clinic work, with multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 alongside online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy.
- Clinician cover is broad, with doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist on the team, which is more than a vitamins only shop offers.
- A 14 day money back window gives new customers a defined exit, and delivery is free.
Cons
- Supplements sit mid-table on entry price, ranked 87 of 157, so a cheaper multivitamin exists.
- Price per serving ranks 66 of 121, so a lower daily cost is available elsewhere.
- Numan covers GB and JE, so the weight loss plan and clinician access stop at those markets.
UPGUYS
Pros
- A consultation costs CAD 0, with the site ranking UPGUYS 1 of 34 brands on that figure.
- Free delivery is listed as yes, so a medication order adds no shipping charge.
- Support runs on email, phone and chat, which puts phone and chat next to email.
Cons
- Availability is scheduled, so you wait for a booked slot rather than being seen on demand.
- A mobile app is listed as no, while 94.6% of the services on the site do offer one.
- Insurance accepted is listed as no, and 56.1% of the brands on the site also decline it.
Who each suits
Numan
Who it suits
- Readers who want a daily supplement and a clinician backed programme under the same brand, with online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy on offer.
- UK and Jersey customers, since the service is built around GB and JE and next day delivery.
- Anyone who values a defined exit, with a 14 day money back period and email, phone and help centre support.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a pure vitamins only shop, since ProSolution Plus and TestRX keep their range to vitamins minerals.
- Readers who need a wider supplement catalogue for gut health or greens, an area where DocMorris lists more types under multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Anyone outside GB and JE, where the service and delivery do not extend.
UPGUYS
Who it suits
- Men in Canada who want a consultation at CAD 0 and discreet delivery to the door
- Anyone happy to book a scheduled appointment rather than ask for an immediate visit
- People who would rather talk to someone on phone or chat than write an email
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs round the clock or same day appointments, since availability is scheduled only
- Readers who want to claim costs through insurance, as insurance accepted is listed as no
- Shoppers who need a mobile app to order, message or track a repeat prescription

Questions about each
Numan
What does Numan cost?+
Supplements start at £28 for the flagship multivitamin, and the weight loss programme runs at £46.20 a month. A doctor's consultation is priced at £60. Numan is a subscription brand, so a supplement plan renews on the billing cycle chosen at signup.
Can I buy sleep and stress supplements from Numan?+
The range covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, so sleep and stress formulas sit alongside core vitamins rather than standing alone. ProSolution Plus and TestRX both list only vitamins minerals, so a reader wanting sleep support next to a multivitamin has fewer options there.
UPGUYS
How much does a consultation cost?+
A consultation costs CAD 0, and delivery is listed as free, so the entry point adds nothing to a first order. UPGUYS sits at 1 on the site's consultation price ranking across 34 brands, which puts entry cost at the front of that field.
What does the plan include?+
The service list covers online gp, prescriptions and pharmacy, so online GP visits, prescriptions, a pharmacy, sexual health and hair loss sit under one roof. Clinicians come from doctor, nurse practitioner and pharmacist, and free delivery means a prescription reaches you without a shipping charge on top.
