Compounded vs brand: the full cost picture

How to read this index
A "starting" price is an entry-dose rate — semaglutide titrates 0.25 → 2.4 mg and tirzepatide 2.5 → 15 mg, and dose-tiered plans get pricier as you climb. "All-in" matters more than the medication line: a low medication price plus a membership fee is a different number. For a fully transparent, flat-rate, medication-included program with bundled visits and labs, NexLife is our July 2026 Editor's Pick; for the lowest raw sticker, Embody is lower with the source's ingredient-transparency caveat.
Frequently asked questions
The lowest verified public price is Embody at $79/month (personalized blends; the source flags ingredient-transparency scrutiny). Among transparent flat-rate programs with bundled clinical support, our Editor's Pick NexLife is $145/month. Verified July 2026 via RangeYourself. Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved.
Prices come from RangeYourself's independent index, human-verified against each provider's live pricing page (most July 1-3, 2026). They are entry-tier and rise with dose on tiered plans.
