Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Offers both routes: FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro, and compounded semaglutide, rather than forcing you down the compounded path
✓Works with insurance and assigns coordinators to help maximise coverage - brand-name medication can be as low as $25/month with insurance
✓Compounded semaglutide is quoted from $151/month when purchased quarterly, and the same figure is quoted for patients without insurance
✓A published phone number ((877) 870-0323), support email and a real New York business address (30 Irving Pl, New York, NY 10003)
✓The subscription, cancellation and refund policy is published in full as a standalone page rather than buried in terms of service
✓Cancellation is self-service through "Manage Membership" in your account, with the steps spelled out
✓Prior authorisations are submitted on your behalf, and the FAQ covers what happens when insurance denies them
✓A broad service (weight loss, sexual health, hair, mental health) with real operational scale behind it

Cons

✗Consultation fees and any charges associated with your provider visit or membership are explicitly non-refundable
✗The membership fee is separate from medication cost, and Zealthy warns it is "not a covered benefit under most health insurance plans or other healthcare benefit plans such as the Health Saving Account or Flexible Spending Account"
✗You must cancel before renewal to avoid being charged for the next period - there is no grace-period refund
✗Once medication has proof of delivery from the carrier, no refund is possible; a replacement means a new charge
✗Membership terms include binding individual arbitration, which waives your right to sue or join a class action
✗Zealthy reserves the right to change fees at any time and to modify the refund policy without prior notice
✗The $151 figure depends on buying quarterly, and permanent "limited time" discount banners ($96 off, "sale ends soon") make the real price hard to pin down
✗The operating entity is FitRX, LLC dba Zealthy, which is not obvious from the branding

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

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
