Nolu Review: Price, Pros & Cons
A broad compounded lineup — GLP-1, microdose stacks, and NAD+/sermorelin all on one account — undercut by a 4-week (not calendar-month) billing cycle and no named clinical staff.

Who Nolu may suit
Shoppers who want GLP-1 plus an adjacent microdose or NAD+/longevity line without juggling separate accounts.
Where the value is
- Both molecules published up front at one price for every dose: $199 semaglutide and $279 tirzepatide every 4 weeks, plus oral semaglutide at $239
- All-inclusive per-cycle pricing: consultation, medication and shipping bundled, no separate membership fee
- Longer plans lower the cost of each 4-week cycle, down to $137
- LegitScript verified
- Adjacent microdose GLP-1+B12/NAD+ stacks and a standalone NAD+/sermorelin line on the same account
The tradeoffs
- Billed every 4 weeks, not per calendar month — 13 charges a year, not 12, so the real annualized cost runs ~8% above the headline figure
- No named medical director, prescriber, or compounding pharmacy disclosed anywhere on the site
- The longer plans' lengths and per-plan totals aren't spelled out before checkout
- No dose-in-mg breakdown published for any tier
How Nolu bills
Nolu sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections, plus a daily oral semaglutide. It bills every four weeks, not once a calendar month, so a year of treatment means 13 charges rather than 12. Keep that in mind when you compare its "per month" price with anyone else's.
Each charge covers the consultation, the medication and free expedited shipping. There's no membership fee, and FSA and HSA cards are accepted. Tirzepatide costs more than semaglutide, and the oral tablet sits between the two injections. Nolu also sells longer plans that lower the cost of each four-week cycle. The price stays the same at every dose, so a dose increase doesn't raise your bill.
Check the exact figure for your drug and plan length in the cart before you pay. Nolu's advertised rates have moved, and the checkout total is the one that counts.

Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Getting a prescription
You take a free online quiz about your goals, health history and lifestyle. A licensed U.S. provider reviews it and prescribes if you qualify. Nolu says it serves all 50 states and Washington, D.C., while noting that some services may not be available everywhere.
Medication is made by state-licensed compounding pharmacies in the U.S. Nolu doesn't name them, or its clinicians. Orders usually arrive two to three business days after approval, in plain, unmarked packaging. After that you can message your care team around the clock. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
More than weight loss
Nolu sells a lineup beyond standard GLP-1s: lower-dose "microdose" GLP-1 plans, NAD+, sermorelin and B12 for longevity, and men's health products. They all live on the same account, which is handy if you plan to add one later.
Canceling and refunds
You can cancel from your dashboard or by emailing support. The request must arrive at least 72 hours before your next billing date, or you'll be charged for one more cycle and keep receiving service through it.
Refunds are limited:
- Cancel within the first 72 hours, before receiving any services, for a full refund.
- If a provider disqualifies you for a medical reason, you're refunded.
- On a plan billed one cycle at a time, nothing comes back for the cycle you cancel in or any earlier one.
- On a plan billed for two or more months at once, you're refunded for months in which no medication shipped.
Shipped medication can't be returned.
