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

GLP-1 peptidesBPC-157TB-500NAD+

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
