In one paragraph
The verdict
Every other provider we have looked at prices a plan. This one prices the drug. Four semaglutide rungs and three tirzepatide rungs, each with its milligram quantity printed beside its figure, which means you can do the one calculation the rest of this category makes impossible: work out what you are paying per milligram, and compare it against anyone else who publishes a dose. It is also, structurally, the arrangement anyone taking a small dose should want. The cheapest semaglutide rung sits well under the most expensive one and the steps between them are proportionate rather than punitive, so taking less genuinely costs less by roughly the amount less you are taking. The other half of the bill is stated with equal clarity. Consultations are priced separately, once at the start and less thereafter, with no membership and no commitment attached. That makes two bills rather than one, which is a real cost to weigh — but both are published on the same page and neither is hidden behind an intake. The pharmacy class is mentioned; no facility is named.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want to know what a milligram costs, not what a plan costs
- You intend to hold a low dose and want the price to reflect that
- You would rather see the visit fee as its own line than folded into a subscription
Look elsewhere if
- You want one bill covering everything
- You want the consultation included rather than charged
- You want the dispensing pharmacy named
What it actually costs
Price as published
$169/mo for 1mg semaglutide, rising by dose to $269 at 10mg
- Vs median
- $6/mo below the $175 median across the 299 of 548 programs here that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1,300/mo is the full published spread on this site
- Structure
- Quotes off the lowest dose
States plainly that its advertised figures are based on the lowest dosage and that higher doses may cost more. On a general ranking that is a warning; for someone staying small it is the one model that bills accordingly.
49 of the 548 programs here price a small dose this way. The only seller here that prices the drug rather than a plan. Four semaglutide rungs and three tirzepatide rungs each carry their milligram quantity beside the figure, so you can actually work out the cost per milligram — the number a low-dose buyer most needs. And the ladder rewards taking less: the smallest rung is well below the largest, in proportion rather than punitively. Visits are a second bill, published openly beside the drug prices rather than hidden.

How the program works
Every other seller on this page prices a plan. This one prices the drug. Four semaglutide rungs and three tirzepatide rungs, each with its milligram quantity printed beside its figure, which means a reader can do the one calculation the rest of this category makes impossible: work out what they are paying per milligram and compare it against anyone else who publishes a dose. It is also, structurally, the arrangement a low-dose reader should want. The cheapest semaglutide rung is well under the most expensive, and the steps are proportionate rather than punitive, so taking a smaller dose costs meaningfully less rather than the same. The other half of the bill is stated with equal clarity: consultations are priced separately, once at the start and less thereafter, with no membership and no commitment. That makes two bills rather than one, which is a real cost to weigh, but both are published and neither is hidden. The 503A class gets a mention; no pharmacy is named.
The honest cons
There are two bills — the medication and the consultations — rather than one.
- The initial consultation is the largest single charge on the page.
- The pharmacy class is referenced but no facility is named.

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.
