Best Compounded GLP-1 Providers
Compounded GLP-1s exist for one reason: they were dramatically cheaper than brand-name medication. When Wegovy cost $1,300 a month and compounded semaglutide cost $99, that gap justified accepting a product the FDA had not evaluated.
That gap has largely closed. Novo Nordisk now sells Wegovy self-pay from $149, and once you add the membership fees most compounded providers charge, the difference is often $20–$50 a month. We still rank the compounded providers below — but we would be doing you a disservice if we did not say the case for choosing them is weaker than it was.
The regulatory position also changed. FDA declared the semaglutide and tirzepatide shortages resolved in 2025, ending the shortage-based exemption that permitted large-scale compounding. What continues does so under narrower conditions, and that is worth understanding before you buy.

How We Ranked These
We read each provider's published pages and recorded what they actually state about medications, pricing, eligibility, and policies. Where a company does not publish something, we treat that as a finding rather than filling the gap with an estimate.
Total cost you can verify
Medication plus membership, published. A "from $99/mo plus membership" figure with no membership price cannot be compared and we say so.
Honesty about regulatory status
We rewarded providers stating clearly that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or quality — and marked down softer language.
Which molecules are actually compounded
Several providers advertise cheap "GLP-1s" but compound semaglutide only. If tirzepatide is not in the compounded lineup, the headline price does not apply to you.
Clinical wrapper
Video visits, dietitian access, titration support, and clinician availability. A compounded prescription with no follow-up is the weakest form of this product.
Pharmacy transparency
Whether the provider names its compounding pharmacy. For a preparation the FDA has not evaluated, who made it is a reasonable thing to want to know — and almost nobody discloses it.
What we could not assess
- •We reviewed published pages rather than enrolling, so we cannot assess product quality, sterility practices, or fulfilment at any compounding pharmacy.
- •No provider in this ranking names its compounding pharmacy partners. We regard that as a significant industry-wide disclosure gap, not a distinguishing feature.
- •Fridays and Lemonaid Health also sell compounded GLP-1s but publish too little pricing to rank here. Both are reviewed separately, and Fridays publishes the most detailed medical exclusion list in this market.
- •Compounded prices are "starting at" figures for low doses. Full titration schedules are almost never published.
- •We are not able to verify potency, purity, or consistency of any compounded preparation. That is precisely what FDA evaluation would tell you, and it is what is absent here.
- •Nothing on this page should be read as a recommendation to choose compounded over FDA-approved medication. That is a conversation for you and your prescriber.
Mochi Health
Best compounded provider overall
Why it ranks here
The only provider here that publishes both halves of the bill, so roughly $178/month for semaglutide or $278 for tirzepatide is a figure you can verify before enrolling. It compounds both molecules rather than semaglutide alone, includes registered dietitians and unlimited clinician messaging in the membership, and states without softening that compounded medications are not approved or evaluated by the FDA.
The catch
Diagnostic services are explicitly excluded from the membership with no stated cost. No eligibility criteria published, no pharmacy partners named, and no shipping detail.
Ivím Health
Cheapest compounded tirzepatide
Why it ranks here
The lowest compounded tirzepatide price in this market at $133/month on a six-month package, about $208 all-in. It compounds three molecules — semaglutide, tirzepatide, and the rarely-offered liraglutide — and the $75 membership includes unlimited same-day visits with a matched board-certified provider.
The catch
Only the tirzepatide price is published; compounded semaglutide and liraglutide are unpriced. The headline rate needs a six-month commitment with no published cancellation or refund terms, and GLP-1s share a catalogue with NAD+ and other wellness products.
Found
Best compounded range and insurance option
Why it ranks here
Compounds both semaglutide and tirzepatide from $99/month, with a further $100/month or more off for prepaying annually, and offers non-GLP-1 alternatives from $49 if a GLP-1 is unaffordable. Uniquely among compounded providers, it also contracts with insurance carriers, so a covered brand-name route exists without switching companies.
The catch
Per-visit clinical billing makes the total unpredictable, and Found states plainly that medication pricing excludes subscription and care costs. No insurance plans in California, and refund terms are linked rather than summarised — which matters if you prepay annually.
Coreage RX
Simplest pricing structure
Why it ranks here
A single upfront price with no separate membership to discover later, which makes it the easiest program here to budget against. Compounded-only and unapologetic about it, with transparent pricing and no insurance complexity to navigate.
The catch
Compounded only means no fallback if you later want or qualify for a brand-name product. As with every provider here, the compounding pharmacy is not named.
Zealthy
Best for brand-and-compounded flexibility
Why it ranks here
Runs both pathways, so an insurance denial does not end your treatment and a coverage win does not require switching provider. 24/7 access to licensed providers is included at no extra cost, which is better than several pricier programs manage.
The catch
Compounds semaglutide only — no compounded tirzepatide. The quarterly purchase means roughly $453 upfront with cancellation and refund terms on a separate unsummarised page. The advertised "$25/month" figure is an insurer-set copay Zealthy does not control.
Eden
Explicit HSA/FSA acceptance
Why it ranks here
Eden states HSA and FSA cards are accepted for most visits and prescriptions, which almost nobody else addresses and which effectively discounts the cost by your marginal tax rate. Same-day prescriptions and 24/7 provider messaging are included, and the compounding disclosure is accurate.
The catch
The membership price is not published, so the advertised $99 cannot be compared to anything. Compounded semaglutide only. GLP-1s share a catalogue with NAD+, methylene blue and glutathione, whose evidence base is not comparable.
Henry Meds
Best consultation model, worst disclosure
Why it ranks here
Offers genuine video calls with a provider rather than pure asynchronous review, publishes clear cancellation terms with a fair medical carve-out, and uses precisely accurate language about what compounding does and does not mean. It also volunteers that Californians wait longer due to compound testing requirements.
The catch
Publishes no price anywhere, which for a company selling "no hidden or surprise fees" is a real contradiction. Shipping takes 8–10 business days, longer in California, and supported states are not listed.
Noom
Most expensive — listed for comparison
Why it ranks here
Included because it is widely searched, not because we recommend it on price. The behaviour-change curriculum behind it is genuinely developed, and the compounding disclosure — "produced in USP-compliant, state-regulated pharmacies but not reviewed by the FDA" — is clearer than most.
The catch
Roughly double Mochi's all-in cost for comparable compounded medication. The $149 entry offer covers a three-week subscription with four weeks of medication, obscuring the recurring rate. The separate Microdose program is marketed without published clinical rationale.
Which One Fits Your Situation?
A ranking is an average, and nobody is average. These are the situations where the top pick is the wrong answer.
You are choosing compounded purely on price
Run the comparison honestly first. All-in compounded programs now cost about $178/month against $199 for FDA-approved Wegovy through NovoCare, or $149 for the Wegovy pill. The saving may not be what you think.
You want compounded tirzepatide, not semaglutide
Your options narrow considerably. Mochi Health lists it from $199/month and Found includes it; Eden and Zealthy compound semaglutide only.
You want to know who is actually making your medication
No provider on this list names its compounding pharmacy. If that matters to you — and for an unevaluated injectable it reasonably might — ask directly before your first fill, and consider an FDA-approved product instead.
You have insurance you have not tried using
Do that before paying cash for anything. A covered copay beats every price here. Found contracts with carriers and PlushCare is in-network with named insurers.
You want a video consultation before starting an injectable
Most compounded providers are asynchronous. Henry Meds offers a genuine video call, and PlushCare offers same-day video with a physician if you would accept a brand-name product.
You are unclear on what compounding actually means
Read this before buying. The regulatory position changed materially in 2025, and understanding it should inform whether you choose this route at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are compounded GLP-1s still legal in 2026?+
Compounding continues, but under narrower conditions than during the shortage. FDA declared the tirzepatide and semaglutide shortages resolved in 2025, and the enforcement discretion tied to shortage status ended — for 503A pharmacies and, shortly afterward, for 503B outsourcing facilities. FDA states that tirzepatide and semaglutide do not currently appear on the drug shortage list or the 503B bulks list. Our brand-versus-compounded guide sets out the current position and the conditions under which 503A compounding continues.
Is compounded semaglutide as good as Wegovy?+
We cannot tell you that, and neither can the provider selling it. Wegovy has been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, and quality; a compounded preparation has not. The active molecule may be the same, but potency, purity, and consistency of the finished product are exactly what FDA evaluation verifies and what is absent here.
Is compounded still cheaper than brand-name?+
Less than it used to be. Compounded semaglutide advertises from $99/month, but most providers add a membership — Mochi's all-in figure is about $178. NovoCare Pharmacy sells FDA-approved Wegovy at $199/month for the pen and $149 for the pill with no membership. For tirzepatide the gap is thinner still: about $278 compounded against $299 for approved Zepbound at the starting dose.
Which compounding pharmacy makes these medications?+
None of the providers we reviewed names its compounding pharmacy partners. Mochi, Found, Eden, Zealthy, Henry Meds, and Noom all describe compounded medication without identifying who prepares it. Noom goes furthest, stating its products come from USP-compliant, state-regulated pharmacies, but still names none.
What does "not FDA-approved" actually mean for a compounded drug?+
It means the finished product has not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Using an FDA-approved active ingredient does not change that — as Henry Meds puts it accurately, these are made with FDA-approved ingredients but are not FDA-approved in the same way as commercial drugs. The manufacturing, testing, and consistency verification that approval involves have not happened.
Should I avoid compounded GLP-1s entirely?+
That is a decision for you and your prescriber, not for us. What we can say is that the financial argument that made compounded medication compelling has weakened substantially, and anyone choosing it today primarily on price should check the current numbers rather than the ones from two years ago.
