Novera MD

Shoppers who want GLP-1 care alongside hormone and longevity treatments and are prepared to confirm the real monthly price inside the intake.

Reasons to consider it

Starting prices for both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are on the product pages before the quiz, with a buy-now-pay-later option
A licensed physician reviews your answers, and the semaglutide page says your dose is adjusted gradually with check-ins along the way
Hormone, NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione and MIC + B12 treatments are available from the same account

What to weigh up

The $94.31 and $164.31 figures are "starting at" prices, and the plan length, billing cycle and the price for higher doses aren't shown before the intake
No cancellation or refund policy is published on the site
It doesn't name the pharmacy that fills prescriptions or the company that runs the site, only that providers come from an independent network

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

LillyDirect Foundayo

Patients who want an FDA-approved, manufacturer-direct oral GLP-1 rather than a compounded injectable.

Reasons to consider it

First-party Eli Lilly program -- highest possible manufacturer authenticity
FDA-approved branded drug (orforglipron), not an unapproved compounded formulation
Published self-pay starting price ($149) via savings card

What to weigh up

Not semaglutide or tirzepatide -- a different molecule (orforglipron), so not directly comparable on this list
The $149 price is tied to a specific Savings Card program with its own terms, not an unconditional list price
No clarity on whether $149 is truly the ongoing monthly cost or could change
