Best Compounded GLP-1 Providers
Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and the rules around them tightened sharply after the FDA declared the shortages over. If you are going this route, go into it knowing exactly what you are buying — and pick a provider that tells you rather than one that obscures it.

How We Chose
- •We rank disclosure first. A provider that states plainly on its own site that its products are compounded and not FDA-approved is treated better than one that buries it.
- •We check whether pricing is published before intake, and whether it changes as your dose escalates.
- •We look for any statement about which pharmacy prepares the medication and whether it is a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility.
- •We penalise programs marketing GLP-1s combined with additives while implying an efficacy benefit that has no trial evidence.
- •We do not accept payment for placement. Some outbound links earn affiliate commissions, which does not influence these picks.
1. Best value with real screening
Clover Meds
Flat pricing across every dose from $96 a month, plus a published list of medical exclusions on the product page itself.
Why it made the list
Publishes specific exclusions including thyroid cancer history, pancreatitis, active eating disorder, and insulin use — screening most budget compounded programs skip. Anti-nausea medication and injection supplies are included, and the 4.8 Trustpilot score across nearly 4,900 reviews is the strongest here.
What to watch out for
The $96 rate requires a 12-month prepaid plan, the dispensing pharmacy is not named, and lab requirements and general refund terms are not published.
- Membership
- From $96/month (semaglutide, 12-month plan)
- Medication
- Included in plan price; all doses cost the same
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide, NAD+
2. Most pharmacy transparency
Claya
The only compounded program we review that names its partner pharmacies publicly, with addresses and phone numbers.
Why it made the list
RedRock Pharmacy and Healthware House are listed openly so you can verify who compounds your medication. Lab services are included in the subscription price, the cancellation and refund policy is published in detail, and Claya states plainly that GLP-1 trial data does not apply to compounded formulations.
What to watch out for
Priced above competitors at $179 and $279 per month. No refund once medication is ordered, and cancellation needs two days' notice before billing. Its public review base is only 21 reviews, too thin to read much into.
- Membership
- From $179/month (semaglutide); $279/month (tirzepatide)
- Medication
- Included in the single subscription price, along with labs and consultations
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide
3. Best product documentation
Yucca Health
Semaglutide from $125 a month with a certificate of analysis available on request.
Why it made the list
Being able to obtain documentation of what a batch actually contains is meaningful when the product is not FDA-reviewed. Free expedited two-day shipping is included and the Trustpilot score is 4.6 across more than 1,200 reviews.
What to watch out for
No published eligibility criteria, lab requirements, cancellation terms, or refund policy, and it does not say whether pricing rises at higher doses.
- Membership
- From $125/month (semaglutide, 6-month plan)
- Medication
- Included in the plan price
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide
4. Lowest price

Compounded semaglutide from $79 a month with no membership fee and no dose-based price increases.
Why it made the list
The cheapest published bundled compounded pricing we track, with HSA and FSA accepted, free shipping, and transfers honored at your existing dose.
What to watch out for
Support complaints are the recurring theme in public feedback, and Embody publishes no eligibility criteria, no lab requirements, and does not name its pharmacy.
- Membership
- From $79/month (semaglutide), $129/month (tirzepatide)
- Medication
- Included in the plan price; no dose-based increases
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide
5. Best overall compounded program
Fridays
The lowest published bundled pricing among providers we track, with a brand-name pathway available in the same program if you change your mind.
Why it made the list
Compounded semaglutide from $117 and tirzepatide from $198 on annual plans, with no separate membership, sign-up, or lab fee. Unlimited provider visits, dietitian sessions, mental health support, and group sessions included. Brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound, and the Wegovy pill available alongside.
What to watch out for
Headline rates require annual prepay. Compounding pharmacy partners are not named, and HSA/FSA acceptance is not documented on the pricing page.
- Membership
- From $117/month (semaglutide, annual plan)
- Medication
- Included in plan price for compounded options; brand-name at cash prices
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide, Ozempic
6. Most honest disclosure
Willow
States directly on its own site that its products are compounded and not FDA-approved, rather than hiding it in a footnote.
Why it made the list
All-inclusive $299 plans covering medication, evaluation, unlimited doctor access, 24/7 support, and shipping. Offers daily oral tablet versions of both semaglutide and tirzepatide, which few competitors do. FSA and HSA eligible.
What to watch out for
Compounded only with no brand-name path, higher entry price than several competitors, and no published lab requirements, eligibility criteria, cancellation terms, or refund policy.
- Membership
- Plans start at $299/month, all-inclusive
- Medication
- Included in the plan price
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide, Compounded Semaglutide Tablets
7. Best cost transparency
Ivím Health
Membership and medication priced separately, so you can see what each part actually costs.
Why it made the list
Compounded semaglutide from $149 plus a $74.99 membership covering unlimited provider consultations and 24/7 care team access. HSA and FSA explicitly accepted, free provider consultation before enrollment, and brand-name options available.

Two charges mean a realistic starting total around $224 a month. Lab requirements, cancellation, and refund terms are not published.
- Membership
- $74.99/month membership
- Medication
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/month, billed separately
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Wegovy, Ozempic
8. Simplest flat pricing
Henry Meds
Straightforward flat monthly pricing for compounded GLP-1s without a complicated tier structure.
Why it made the list
An established compounded program with clear flat-fee pricing and a focused, uncomplicated offering.
What to watch out for
Compounded-focused, so there's limited flexibility if you later want or qualify for a brand-name product.
- Membership
- $199-$349/month
- Medication
- Included in subscription
- Medications offered
- Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Compounded GLP-1s
9. Best budget option

Among the lower-priced compounded programs in the market, starting well below the category average.
Why it made the list
Competitive monthly pricing with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide plus brand-name options in the mix.
What to watch out for
Lower price usually means a lighter support model — check what clinical screening and follow-up you actually get.
- Membership
- $129-$249/month
- Medication
- Included in subscription for compounded; brand-name varies
- Medications offered
- Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Compounded GLP-1s
10. Most format options
EllieMD
Injectable, GLP-1/GIP, and oral drop formulations, with an upfront statement that compounded medications aren't FDA-evaluated.
Why it made the list
Unusual breadth of formats including oral drops, a simple three-step onboarding, a stated 2-to-10-business-day delivery window, and a refund if a provider determines you are not eligible.
What to watch out for
No public pricing at all — you must complete intake to see costs. Markets combinations with L-carnitine, glycine, and NAD that have no weight-loss trial evidence behind them. Public reviews are mixed, with recurring complaints about customer service and value, and much of its third-party promotion is paid influencer marketing.
- Membership
- Not publicly listed
- Medication
- Not publicly listed — pricing shown after intake
- Medications offered
- Compounded GLP-1 Injection, Compounded GLP-1/GIP Injection, Compounded GLP-1 Oral Drops
11. Best credential transparency
Peak Wellness
Publishes credentials for its medical staff and its pharmacies, with flat pricing regardless of dose.
Why it made the list
Being able to verify who prescribes and who compounds is the single most useful transparency step in this category. Medication, supplies and expedited shipping are included with no separate pharmacy or lab fees.
What to watch out for
$179 is a first-month rate rising to $249. Only 40 public reviews, and its marketing overstates how quickly effects appear.
- Membership
- $179 first month, then $249/month; $199/month on the 3-month plan
- Medication
- Included in the plan price with supplies and shipping
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide
12. Best independent certification

Why it made the list
Independent platform certification, expedited shipping in every price, HSA/FSA accepted, and 24-hour provider review.
What to watch out for
Only 48 public reviews, the $99 rate requires a year prepaid, and it does not publish whether pricing rises at higher doses.
- Membership
- From $99/month (semaglutide, annual plan)
- Medication
- Included in the plan price, with expedited shipping
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide, Peptides
13. Most aggressive marketing
Sprout Health
Flat pricing and LegitScript certification, sold with countdown timers and limited-discount counters.
Why it made the list
The underlying offer is competitive — price stays flat as your dose changes, free 2-3 day shipping, same-day clinician review — and it states plainly it is not a healthcare provider or pharmacy.
What to watch out for
Published pricing varies by more than double between its own pages ($110) and third-party reporting ($249). Urgency tactics, roughly 44-state coverage, and slow support are recurring themes.
- Membership
- From $110/month on a 6-month plan (advertised); $249/month reported elsewhere
- Medication
- Included in the plan price
- Medications offered
- Compounded Semaglutide, Compounded Tirzepatide, NAD+
Head-to-Head Comparisons
Providers from this list, compared two at a time on price, screening, and terms.
Before you buy a compounded GLP-1
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness, or quality before they reach patients. That is true of every provider on this list and every provider not on it.
Following the end of the FDA shortage designations, mass-compounded copies of these drugs are no longer permitted. Remaining programs operate through the narrower pathway of compounding for an individual patient with a documented clinical need.
The direction of travel through 2026 has been toward closing this pathway further. In April 2026 the FDA proposed permanently excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list, and it has issued warning letters to outsourcing facilities about GLP-1 compounding. Before committing to a long prepaid term, ask what happens to your prescription and your price if your pharmacy can no longer supply it.
- •Ask which pharmacy prepares your medication, and whether it is a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility.
- •Ask what the clinical justification for a compounded formulation is in your specific case.
- •Ask what format it arrives in. Vial-and-syringe products carry documented dosing-error risk that fixed-dose pens do not.
- •Ask what happens if the pharmacy can no longer supply it — will you be switched to a brand-name product, and at what price?
- •Price the brand-name manufacturer self-pay channels before assuming compounded is your only affordable option. That gap narrowed considerably after 2025.
Additives are a marketing signal, not a clinical one
GLP-1s combined with B12, niacinamide, L-carnitine, glycine, or NAD+ are one way a formulation gets presented as personalized rather than a copy. There is generally no trial evidence that these combinations improve weight loss. Treat efficacy claims about them sceptically.
Who compounded medication genuinely suits
- •People whose insurance excludes weight-management drugs entirely and who cannot afford brand-name self-pay pricing — after checking those prices, not instead of.
- •People with a documented clinical need that an approved product does not meet, identified by a prescriber rather than by a checkout page.
- •People who want a format that does not exist as an approved product and who understand the trade-off they are making.
- •It does not suit anyone who wants the assurance of FDA review, anyone whose plan will cover a brand-name product, or anyone uncomfortable drawing their own dose from a vial.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is compounded semaglutide safe?
It is not risk-free and carries a different risk profile than an approved drug: no FDA review of the finished product, variability between pharmacies, and documented dosing errors with vial-and-syringe formats. Whether it is reasonable for you is a conversation with a licensed prescriber.
Is compounded GLP-1 still legal in 2026?
Mass-compounded copies of semaglutide and tirzepatide are no longer permitted after the FDA shortage designations ended. Compounding for an individual patient with a documented clinical need remains a narrow legal pathway, which is how remaining programs operate.
Why is compounded so much cheaper?
It is a different product with a different cost structure — no brand development or approval costs, different manufacturing, and no insurance intermediary. The price difference reflects a genuinely different item, not a discount on the same one.
Will insurance cover compounded GLP-1s?
No. Insurance does not cover compounded medication. Every compounded program is cash-pay, though many accept HSA and FSA cards.
What should I ask before ordering?
Which pharmacy makes it and under what registration; what the clinical justification is in your case; what format it arrives in; what the beyond-use date and storage instructions are; what the price becomes at higher doses; and what happens if supply stops.
Could my compounded program disappear?
It is a real risk worth planning for. The FDA proposed in April 2026 to permanently exclude semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list, and enforcement against compounded GLP-1s has tightened steadily since 2024. Ask any program what its contingency is and whether it can move you to an approved product, and be cautious about long prepaid commitments.
