Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideoral semaglutide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved brand-name semaglutide rather than a compounded copy, which puts it in a small minority of the telehealth providers on this site
✓No membership and no subscription: "You only pay when you need to order your next medication refill", and you can delay a refill without losing access
✓Published entry pricing of $149/month for the oral semaglutide programme, with self-pay from $200 depending on dose for the injection
✓A 15-minute telehealth consultation with a board-certified physician, not an asynchronous form that a clinician rubber-stamps
✓Individual physicians are named on the site with their specialty and medical school, which most competitors do not do
✓LegitScript-certified, and states 250,000+ patients served across all 50 states
✓Publishes clear eligibility criteria: BMI 30+, or BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol
✓Names the medullary thyroid carcinoma contraindication in its own patient-facing copy instead of burying it
✓Explicit transfer pathway if you are already on a GLP-1 elsewhere - your dose is reviewed and continued rather than restarted
✓Delivery quoted at 24-48 hours after prescription approval, in temperature-controlled packaging

Cons

✗The site advertises "a 4.8 average for Heally reviews", but the public Trustpilot profile for getheally.com showed a 4-star rating from roughly 37 reviews when we checked, and Trustpilot's own category listing showed a lower TrustScore again. The advertised figure is not the one you can verify
✗Pricing is a starting point rather than a fixed rate - "self pay options starts at $200 depending on dose" means your cost rises as you titrate
✗No phone number is published; support runs through careteam@getheally.com
✗Heally is a platform connecting patients to independent providers, so continuity depends on which physician you draw
✗Insurance is not billed directly - coverage is something to "ask about at your free consultation" rather than a service Heally operates
✗The catalogue spans weight loss, hormones, NAD+ and lab testing, so the weight-loss programme is one line among many rather than the whole company

Pros

✓The quality documentation is genuinely thorough for this category: HPLC and mass spectrometry on every lot, a signed certificate of purity shipped with every order, and a public lab-report library you can read before buying
✓Endotoxin testing (LAL assay) and microbial screening to USP standards on every batch before release
✓Full batch traceability - each vial traced to its production lot, raw materials and test results
✓States an average of 99.3% HPLC purity across all batches and publishes the underlying numbers rather than only the claim
✓Partner labs described as GMP-aligned, with documented SOPs and controlled environments
✓Pricing is straightforward and published: individual peptides run roughly $59.99 to $159.99, with free shipping over $150 (checked July 28, 2026)
✓The research-use-only status is disclosed up front behind an acknowledgement gate, not buried in a footer after checkout
✓A published phone number and a catalogue organised into peptides, blends, sprays and capsules, with a reference database

Cons

✗This is not a treatment and cannot lawfully be sold as one. Everything here is labelled for research use only and explicitly not for human consumption. If you are reading this site to find help with weight loss, this is not an option - it is laboratory material
✗There is no clinician at any point. Nobody takes a history, nobody checks your contraindications, nobody sets a dose and nobody monitors you. The safety net that every licensed provider on this site provides simply does not exist here
✗A certificate of analysis tells you what is in the vial. It tells you nothing about whether the contents are safe for you, what dose is appropriate, or how it interacts with your medications
✗Products arrive as lyophilised powder requiring reconstitution, and bacteriostatic water, syringes and other supplies are not included - so self-administration would also mean improvising sterile technique
✗Peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500 appear on the FDA's list of substances that raise significant safety concerns for compounding, and have little or no published human trial evidence
✗There is no prescription, no pharmacy oversight and no adverse-event reporting pathway. If something goes wrong there is no clinical record and no provider to call
✗No Trustpilot or BBB record exists, so there is no independent consumer feedback of any kind
✗Our rating reflects suitability for someone seeking treatment, which is what this site compares. As a laboratory supplier the documentation is strong; as a route to a GLP-1 or peptide for your own health it is the wrong door, and a licensed provider is the right one
