Provider review
Center for Medical Weight Loss review
Microdosing costs less here — and is sold only as a three-month prepay.
There is no monthly rung on the microdose at all, so the cheaper product carries a mandatory term the dearer one does not.

In one paragraph
The verdict
This is one of the few places where the low-dose product is genuinely cheaper than the standard program, and the flat-price promise on that standard program is stated in unusually plain language. The trap is structural rather than numeric: the microdose is sold only as a three-month block, with no monthly option, so a reader who wants to try a low dose for a month cannot — they have to commit the full amount up front. No milligram range is published for either line, and the microdosing page makes claims about longevity and cognition that run well beyond what the evidence supports.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want a low-dose product that genuinely costs less than the standard program
- You are willing to commit three months up front, which is the only way the microdose is sold
- You want nutrition and behavior support bundled rather than upsold
Look elsewhere if
- You want to try a month before committing — the microdose has no monthly rung at all
- You want a dose range behind the flat-price promise, because none is published
- You are relying on the site's own claims about what microdosing does, which overstate the evidence
What it actually costs
Price as published
Semaglutide microdosing $249 for a three-month supply and tirzepatide microdosing $349 for three months — the ONLY rung either microdose product is sold on, with no monthly option · standard compounded semaglutide $149/mo month-to-month or $116/mo on three months ($349) · standard compounded tirzepatide $239/mo month-to-month or $159/mo on three ($477). No milligram range is published for either line · THE THREE-MONTH PLANS BILL EVERY 10 WEEKS, NOT EVERY 12 — its own terms say the cycle "occurs every 10 weeks" on an option that ships a 12-week supply, so a "quarterly" plan recurs 5.2 times a year rather than 4 and the annual cost runs about 30% above what the rate implies · canceling after a provider has approved the prescription is charged $50

Publishes a named low-dose product at a lower price than its own full-dose equivalent. Taking a smaller amount genuinely costs less here, which is the structure this page is looking for.
28 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. The row records microdosing sold as a separately priced product below the standard program on both molecules — and records that it is sold ONLY as a three-month prepay, with no monthly rung at all, so the cheaper product carries a mandatory term the dearer one does not. The standard program's flat-price promise is quoted in the provider's own words.

How the program works
This is the direct-to-consumer arm of the Center for Medical Weight Loss, a physician-network weight-management brand that says it has treated over 500,000 patients since 2006. Commerce runs on a separate subdomain from the main brand site and sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide subscriptions plus a distinct GLP-1 microdosing line aimed at weight maintenance. Care is asynchronous — an online eligibility questionnaire, a prescription within 24 hours, delivery in three to five days — with an initial telemedicine consult with a U.S. board-certified physician. No pharmacy is named. There is no membership fee, and the program bundles a nutrition course, a maintenance guide and meal replacements.
The honest cons
A "THREE-MONTH" PLAN HERE BILLS EVERY 10 WEEKS. Its own terms put the cycle at "every 10 weeks" on an option that ships a 12-week supply — 5.2 charges a year instead of 4, so the yearly cost is roughly 30% higher than the advertised rate suggests, and the interval appears nowhere on the plan card
- The microdose line is sold ONLY as a three-month prepay. There is no monthly rung at all, so a microdoser must commit the full amount up front with no way to try a single month — a hidden minimum term on the one product a low-dose reader would come here for
- The plans homepage advertises only the three-month prepay figures and never surfaces the month-to-month rates beside them
- No milligram dose is published for either the standard program or the microdose line, so the flat-price promise has no stated ceiling
- No pharmacy is named, and no 503A or 503B designation is given
- The microdosing page claims GLP-1 microdosing has been proven to improve longevity, cognitive function, neuroprotection and inflammation, which overstates the evidence for sub-therapeutic dosing considerably
- Commerce lives on a separate subdomain from the main brand site, and the main domain publishes no prices at all
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
