Bodybuilding Health+ vs Bionomy Health
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Bodybuilding Health+
Someone buying semaglutide on a long commitment, where the ladder really does fall the further out you go.
Visit Bodybuilding Health+Bionomy Health
Cost-first shoppers who want men wanting physician-led GLP-1 plus TRT and longevity add-ons.
Visit Bionomy HealthThe verdict
Bionomy Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 70 to 69. Bionomy Health is a physician-led, direct-to-consumer men's telehealth service selling compounded GLP-1 weight-loss medication alongside testosterone, peptides and longevity protocols. Bodybuilding Health+ still earns a C — Someone buying semaglutide on a long commitment, where the ladder really does fall the further out you go.

Bodybuilding Health+
69/100Where the value is
- The semaglutide ladder genuinely descends: $179 monthly, $159.33 on three months, $158 on six and $141.50 on twelve, each with its saving shown
- Every savings badge is arithmetically honest against the monthly rate, on both molecules
- Both molecules are priced on one page before any intake
The tradeoffs
- The twelve-month tirzepatide rung is badged "Best Value" at $187.33 while the six-month rung is $174.67 — the badge is on the worse of the two
- The product card calls $179 a "first month" beside a struck-through $279 while the plan selector treats it as the monthly rate; the site never reconciles the two
Bionomy Health
70/100Where the value is
- Cancellation is genuinely unconditional: no subscription, no card on file, no auto-renewal, no cancellation fee — you pay per refill
- Prices are published before intake on a dedicated GLP-1 page, and the same figures appear in the site's own llms.txt
- Available in 48 states
The tradeoffs
- The $189 is a starting rate, not a flat one: the page says 'From', the product card says 'Starter', and doses are titrated every four weeks with no published price for the dose you end up on
- The homepage says muscle preservation is 'included' while the GLP-1 page sells a Muscle Preserve Pack at $109/mo as a separate line item
