TelePeptide
55/100Where the value is
- LegitScript-certified (seal ID 49966407); 503A-licensed compounding pharmacies
- All-inclusive from $169/mo annual — physician eval + Rx + medication + shipping, no hidden fees
- Broadest formulation menu: injectable sema/tirz, oral dissolvable tablets, sema+naltrexone, microdose combos
The tradeoffs
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; no pharmacy partner named publicly
- Monthly billing costs more — $199/mo (monthly) vs $169/mo (annual) for semaglutide injectable; best rate requires annual prepay
Superpower
55/100Where the value is
- The semaglutide price, $229 a month, is printed on its product page before you sign up
- The membership includes 150+ lab tests across two blood draws a year, at a Quest location or at home
- A licensed physician on its clinical team reviews your questionnaire, and the plan includes weekly check-ins and dose adjustments
The tradeoffs
- Semaglutide is sold to members only, so the $349 yearly membership sits on top of the $229 monthly medication price
- The site prints two membership prices: $349 a year on the homepage and "$17 per month, billed annually" on the semaglutide page
