In one paragraph

The verdict

Chia's most useful feature for a small dose is the format: both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide come as a daily tablet that dissolves under the tongue, as well as a weekly injection. Each product shows a month-to-month price you can cancel at any time, which many sellers never print, beside a lower starting figure for a plan whose length the page does not state. The refund policy fills in that longer plans run three, four or six months, and that they renew for the same term unless you cancel five days ahead. The discount badges are where to be careful: the percentages printed are well above the actual gap between the two prices. Chia says each batch is third-party tested and uses 503A pharmacies it does not name. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies to first-time month-to-month customers who can show they took the medication. Its refund policy mentions a micro-dosing program, but nothing on the weight-loss pages sells one. Its own licensure page lists only two nurse practitioners in three states, with expiry dates that have passed.

Who it suits, and who it does not

A good fit if

  • You want a needle-free tablet for either molecule
  • You want a month-to-month price you can see before intake
  • You want a money-back guarantee on your first month

Look elsewhere if

  • You take discount badges at face value
  • You want a product sold as a low dose
  • You want to know which states are served before you start

Structure
Standard plan, self-directed low dose

No low-dose product of its own. Starting low means asking for a smaller amount inside a standard plan, at the standard plan's price.

235 of the 548 programs here price a small dose this way. Both molecules carry a month-to-month rate and come as an injection or an under-the-tongue tablet, which suits a small dose, but no low-dose product is sold. A micro-dosing program is named only in the refund terms, with no price, so a small dose would be a request inside a standard plan.

Pharmacy, labs and oversight

Chia says it uses a 503A pharmacy, but does not say which one. Bloodwork is offered but not required. A clinician review is included in the price.

How the program works

Chia, operated by Zerolimit Tech LLC, sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, each as a weekly injection or a daily tablet that dissolves under the tongue, prepared by state-licensed 503A pharmacies that are not named. It says every batch is tested for potency, sterility, endotoxins and pH. A physician reviews your intake, usually within 24 hours, and plans include telehealth visits, provider messaging, AI-powered coaching and free shipping of a four-week supply. It also sells sermorelin, NAD+, hormone and longevity treatments, and bundles a GLP-1 with them. Its refund policy refers to a micro-dosing program, but no such product or price appears on its weight-loss pages. It does not take insurance, and the site does not list the states it serves.

The honest cons

The discount badges overstate the saving: 'Save 50%' sits on a gap of about 29%, and 'Save 45%' on about 38%
  • The lower starting-from figure does not say which plan length it buys, and committed plans renew for the full term
  • The refund policy mentions a micro-dosing program that is not shown or priced anywhere
  • Its provider-licensure page lists two nurse practitioners in three states, with licenses that show expiry dates earlier this year
  • The pharmacy is not named, no milligram is published, and the states served are not listed
  • Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

Read this before you buy

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.
