Where the value is
- Each serving has 20g of plant protein, 26 vitamins and minerals, fiber and a probiotic
- A 17-meal bag is $49 on subscription with free shipping, or $59 one time
- You can skip, pause or cancel the subscription any time, and the first bag is guaranteed
The tradeoffs
- It doesn't offer semaglutide, tirzepatide or any GLP-1 treatment
- A shake is food, not medication, and no clinician is involved
- The full ingredient and allergen list is printed on the bag rather than on the site
AmberHealth now sells a meal shake
AmberHealth no longer sells GLP-1 medication. Its site now sells Amber, a vanilla meal-replacement shake with 20 grams of plant protein, 26 vitamins and minerals, fiber and a daily probiotic. You mix two scoops with cold water or milk. Each bag holds 17 meals, at $2.88 a meal on subscription or $3.47 bought once, and subscriptions ship free.
It also sells a product called GLP-1 Natural Support, made with hops extract. Despite the name, that's an over-the-counter supplement, not semaglutide or tirzepatide, and no prescriber is involved anywhere on the site.
For prescription GLP-1 treatment, compare compounded semaglutide providers or compounded tirzepatide providers.
The bottom line
AmberHealth no longer sells GLP-1 medication; it now sells a plant-protein meal-replacement shake at $49 a bag on subscription, about $2.88 a meal.
