Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The FAQ publishes actual prices rather than a teaser: semaglutide $146/month and tirzepatide $258/month, with six-month plans at $750 total for semaglutide ($125/mo) and $1,350 for tirzepatide ($225/mo), checked July 27, 2026
✓A lifetime price lock is offered under code YUCCA4LIFE at $146/mo, which if honoured protects against the mid-treatment increases common in this category
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.6 across 1,197 reviews, closely matching the figure shown on site
✓The compounded, not-FDA-approved status is spelled out in full, including the point that these drugs do not undergo FDA review for manufacturing quality
✓The whole site is available in Spanish, which almost no other provider in this category offers
✓Licensed providers in all 50 states, US-licensed pharmacies and free expedited shipping
✓Refund policy and shipping policy are both published as separate documents
✓NAD+ and sermorelin are available if you want more than weight care, without being bundled into the GLP-1 price

Cons

✗A developer's note is rendering inside the live page. Between the product cards the text reads: 'the SSR pass triggers an "Invalid hook call" because the React renderer dispatcher is null in the Cloudflare Workers SSR pipeline'. An engineering comment left in production is not reassuring on a site handling prescriptions
✗Secondary product pricing contradicts itself: NAD+ is shown as 'Starting at $158' in one block and 'As low as $215' in another, and sermorelin as both '$158' and '$199'
✗'Pricing is shared after intake once eligibility is confirmed' sits directly above a FAQ answer that then states all the prices, so the site cannot decide whether pricing is gated
✗Social-proof counters disagree with each other - one product card claims '1000+ Patients enrolled in last 7 days' while others on the same page say '100+'
✗Describing compounded products as having 'the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as brand-name drugs' is the claim type the FDA cited in a February 2026 warning letter to a competitor, even though Yucca does disclaim FDA approval immediately afterwards
✗The 'for life' price lock has no published terms explaining what would void it
✗No published phone number or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check against the Trustpilot score

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month
