Medications

semaglutide

Pros

✓Pricing is published without an intake: compounded semaglutide at $299/month, discounted from a stated $344, and Bella Capsules at $149/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Health coaching is bundled with the medication rather than sold as an upsell
✓The site states plainly that the medications are compounded, in the first line of the product description
✓An eligibility check is available before you commit to a plan

Cons

✗A Trustpilot average of 3.0 across roughly 1,000 largely unsolicited reviews is a real warning sign, and among the lowest of any provider on this site
✗The claim of 'up to 20% weight loss within 6 months' for compounded semaglutide does not match the evidence. The STEP-1 trial of branded semaglutide found about 15% over 68 weeks; 20% is closer to the tirzepatide figure, and neither trial studied a compounded product over six months
✗Describing its medication as containing ingredients 'clinically proven to be safe and effective' borrows the approved drug's evidence for a compounded preparation that has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗At $299/month for compounded semaglutide, it is among the more expensive compounded options we cover - several providers charge under $200
✗Trustpilot lists the company's location as the United Kingdom, so check service coverage before assuming US availability
✗No published phone number
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes only brand-name, FDA-approved GLP-1s - Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic and Foundayo - with no compounded products
✓Publishes a genuine long-term outcome: 20% weight loss achieved at three years, which is a far longer follow-up than the 68-72 week trial data most providers cite
✓Includes 1:1 video coaching and lifestyle support rather than shipping medication and leaving you to it
✓Dedicated insurance navigation support to get the medication covered, instead of assuming cash-pay
✓Available either directly as an individual or through a participating employer
✓Starting price is published openly at $199/month (checked July 28, 2026)

Cons

✗At $199/month for the programme, this is a coaching-led service and the medication cost is separate - what you pay in total depends on your insurance
✗The $199 figure is a 'starting at' price
✗Because it only prescribes brand-name GLP-1s, cost without insurance coverage will be substantially higher than compounded alternatives
✗The 4.5 rating from 1,618 reviews is displayed on Calibrate's own site rather than an independent platform
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy
