Pros

  • The full price list is published openly, with no intake required to see it: progesterone capsules from $39/mo, estrogen tablets from $54/mo, estrogen body cream (with progesterone) from $89/mo, vaginal estrogen cream from $89/mo and the estrogen patch from $149/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
  • Multiple delivery routes are offered - patch, body cream, vaginal cream, tablet and capsule - so treatment can be matched to preference rather than to whatever the company happens to stock
  • Winona owns its own 503A compounding pharmacies rather than outsourcing to a partner, which gives it direct control over formulation and consistency
  • Its pharmacy page explains the 503A/503B distinction correctly and states that 503A pharmacies are regulated by State Boards of Pharmacy, not the FDA - an accurate description that competitors routinely overstate
  • Roughly 8,000 Trustpilot reviews at 4.6, with 99% of negative reviews answered and a typical reply time under 24 hours
  • The rating advertised on site matches the rating on the public Trustpilot profile
  • The initial visit is free, so you can be assessed before paying for treatment
  • Editorial content carries numbered citations rather than unsourced assertions, and the site runs a public subreddit alongside a help centre and published phone number
  • HSA/FSA eligible, with a dedicated page explaining eligibility
  • Adjacent products are priced transparently too - DHEA from $27 per 3-month supply, sildenafil arousal cream at $79 per order, minoxidil hair serum at $150 per 3-month supply

Cons

  • Everything Winona dispenses is compounded in its own 503A pharmacies, which means it is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality. The site explains 503A status clearly but does not foreground the 'not FDA-approved' consequence as plainly
  • Pharmaceutical products cannot be returned, per the terms - so once a prescription ships, you own it
  • The terms carry a mandatory arbitration clause on an individual basis with a class-action waiver, set out in capitals at the top of the document
  • Every headline price is a 'from' figure, so the actual monthly cost depends on the dose your clinician prescribes and is not knowable before the consultation
  • The hormone therapy explainer describes HRT as 'scientifically proven to be the safest, most effective treatment' for menopause symptoms. It is cited, but that is a strong framing for a therapy whose risk profile still depends heavily on age, time since menopause and personal history
  • Trustpilot notes Winona invites customers to review, which tends to lift scores relative to organic-only profiles, and that it may use AI-assisted replies
  • Systemic estrogen is not appropriate for everyone - women with a history of breast or endometrial cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, blood clots, stroke or liver disease should not start it without specialist input
  • Compounded hormone therapy in general lacks the long-term outcome data that exists for FDA-approved products, so the evidence cited for HRT as a class does not transfer automatically to these specific preparations

Medications
semaglutidetirzepatideNAD+sermorelinestradiolenclomiphene

Pros

  • The entire price ladder is published with no intake required, and it shows the per-week equivalent alongside the total: compounded semaglutide injection $249 for 4 weeks ($62/week), tirzepatide injection $339 ($85/week), semaglutide tablets $279 ($70/week) - checked July 28, 2026
  • Longer commitments cut the rate substantially: semaglutide injection falls to $55/week over 12 weeks, $50/week over 24 and $45/week over 52
  • One flat price with no membership fee - medication and provider visits are included rather than billed separately, which is the trap several competitors in this space rely on
  • Branded Ozempic is offered alongside the compounded options at $1,299 for 4 weeks, so you can choose the FDA-approved drug if you would rather not use a compounded preparation
  • 'Compounded medications are not FDA-approved' appears on every single medication page, not just in the site footer
  • The NAD+ page is unusually honest about its own product: 'Clinics sometimes offer NAD+ therapies as part of wellness programs, although evidence for many longevity claims is still emerging.' Almost no competitor in the longevity space concedes that
  • Full refund if a provider disqualifies you for a medical reason before medication is ordered
  • Cancel at any time, with no commitment until a clinician has reviewed your intake
  • The longevity line is cheap relative to the category - NAD+ injection and sermorelin both start at $34/week - and NAD+ comes in three routes: injection, oral drops and nasal spray
  • A genuinely broad catalogue under one provider: weight loss, longevity, hormone replacement (estradiol in five formats), testosterone support (enclomiphene, gonadorelin) and prescription skincare

Cons

  • There is no Trustpilot profile and no BBB record, so there is no independent evidence about what the service is actually like. For a provider asking upwards of $2,000 for a year's supply, that is a real gap
  • The best rates require large upfront commitments. The $45/week semaglutide price means paying $2,327 for 52 weeks, and the refund policy only guarantees money back if a clinician disqualifies you before medication is ordered
  • You are charged for the first month as soon as you complete the intake form, before you know whether you will be approved
  • A separate 'Microdosing' programme is offered. Microdosing GLP-1s is not an evidence-based protocol - the trials behind these drugs used full therapeutic doses
  • The LegitScript certification claimed in the company's partner materials is not evidenced anywhere on its own site
  • Sermorelin is priced and promoted alongside NAD+, but the site does not extend the same 'evidence is still emerging' caveat to it, even though human outcome data for sermorelin in healthy adults is similarly thin
  • No published phone number - support runs through email and your account
  • Ozempic at $1,299 for four weeks is close to full list price, so the branded option is only realistic if you have no insurance route and specifically want the approved drug
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and the weight-loss figures associated with these molecules come from trials of the branded products, not compounded versions
