Pros

  • Published pricing for both microdose programmes: $229/month for the single-agonist GLP-1 ($687 total) and $239/month for the dual-agonist ($717 total)
  • No hidden membership, shipping or consultation fees, stated as a headline on the microdose page
  • Available in all 50 states
  • The partner pharmacy is named - Clover Pharmacy - and described as dispensing from 503A-compliant, state-licensed facilities
  • Payment is refunded if the medical provider determines you are not eligible for an EllieMD programme
  • 24/7 access to a provider is included in the plan rather than sold as an upgrade
  • A state-licensed, board-certified MD, DO or qualified medical provider reviews your intake, and a phone call may be required rather than everything being asynchronous
  • The compounding disclaimer is explicit: compounded medications are not FDA-approved and the FDA does not review them for safety, efficacy or quality
  • It discloses that vial appearance, contents and dosage may vary based on your personalised prescription
  • Offers a paid 15-minute consultation with a wellness expert that comes with a $25 credit toward your next order

Cons

  • The whole proposition is microdosing, which has no controlled trial evidence behind it. Every published GLP-1 outcome - the 15% and 20% figures the category is built on - comes from full therapeutic doses
  • Both prices are quoted per month but billed as a multi-month total ($687 and $717), so the real commitment is three months up front
  • Compounded medication, not FDA-approved
  • The catalogue mixes prescription GLP-1s with Thymosin Alpha-1, hormone therapy, protein supplements and skincare, which blurs the line between medicine and wellness retail
  • The claim that "community support can double weight loss efficacy" is footnoted to a 2015 Northwestern citation and used to market a product that citation did not test
  • No phone number, support email or business address is published
  • No insurance billing and no HSA/FSA information
  • It is not clear from the site whether full therapeutic dosing is available at all, or only microdoses

Medications
NAD+sermorelinglutathioneMIC + B12GHK-Cu

Pros

  • Prices are published openly for every product, with the renewal rate shown alongside the introductory one: NAD+ $89 first month then $149, sermorelin $109 then $219, glutathione $79 then $149, oral sermorelin $79 then $159, MIC + B12 $89/mo and GHK-Cu cream $109/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
  • Three delivery formats for NAD+ - injection, nasal spray and liposomal liquid - so needle-free options exist
  • Products are described as American made and third-party tested
  • The intake is short and a licensed provider reviews it before anything ships, with free 2-day shipping
  • No insurance required and no membership fee stacked on top of the product price

Cons

  • This is not a GLP-1 weight loss service. System Labs sells no semaglutide, no tirzepatide and no GLP-1 of any kind - the words do not appear anywhere on its site. If you are shopping for weight loss medication, this provider cannot supply it
  • We could not find any statement that the compounded peptides are not FDA-approved. That disclosure is standard across this category and its absence is the single biggest gap on the site
  • There is no refund or cancellation policy published at all - only a privacy policy and terms page
  • No independent review signal exists: no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file, and no rating displayed on site
  • Introductory pricing roughly doubles at renewal on most products, and the renewal price is the one you will pay for the rest of the course
  • Sermorelin, GHK-Cu and high-dose NAD+ have limited published human trial evidence for the benefits implied - 'perform 10 years younger' style claims are not supported by the kind of trials that back GLP-1 medications
  • No published phone number, support hours or physical address
  • The 'up to 1600mg' NAD+ potency claim is presented as an advantage without any evidence that higher doses produce better outcomes
