Nova MD review
A microdose page that renders no price — the figure lives only in the markup.
A search engine is handed a number the reader on the page is not, and no billing cycle is attached to it.

In one paragraph
The verdict
The microdose here is a properly built product — its own page, its own intake link, and a genuinely informative explanation of the rationale and the side-effect profile. What it does not have is a visible price. The figure is fed to search engines and shown in a comparison pop-up, but never printed on the page you are standing on, on a site whose other GLP-1 products advertise their twelve-month rung as the headline and whose bundle ships a class named for hiding prices from crawlers. Nothing tells you whether that number is a month or a year, and a warning letter is disclosed below.
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 a microdose sold as its own product with its own intake rather than folded into a standard program
- You want the clinical rationale and the switching guidance written out rather than assumed
- You are outside Alaska, which is the one state its GLP-1 line excludes
Look elsewhere if
- You want to see the price on the page you are buying from
- You need to know whether the figure is monthly or a year's commitment, because nothing says
- You want a metabolic specialist rather than one line inside a broad catalog
What it actually costs
Price as published
Microdosed GLP-1 $99, a figure that appears only in the page's structured-data markup and a comparison modal and is rendered nowhere on the page itself, with no billing cycle attached to it · compounded semaglutide with B12 advertised from $109/mo, which the FAQ discloses is the twelve-month rung · compounded tirzepatide with B12 advertised from $149/mo, also the twelve-month rung. No month-to-month rate is published for any GLP-1 product

A low-dose lane may exist, but nothing public says what it costs — so the one question this page exists to answer cannot be answered before you sign up.
52 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. The row records that the microdose page renders no price at all — the figure exists only in the page's structured-data markup and a comparison modal, so a search engine is handed a number the reader standing on the page is not — and that no billing cycle is attached to it. Every sibling GLP-1 product advertises its twelve-month rung as the headline, so nothing here is readable as a monthly price before intake.

What it does well
- Sells a microdosed GLP-1 as its own product with a dedicated page, its own price and a distinct intake link rather than folding it into the standard program
- The microdose FAQ is genuinely informative about the clinical rationale, the side-effect profile and switching from standard dosing
- States GLP-1 shipping coverage precisely — all 50 states except Alaska — and publishes tighter per-product exclusions elsewhere
- Discloses in its FAQ that the advertised headline figures are twelve-month-plan rates, which many competitors never do
- Prices for the non-GLP-1 products are shown as explicit one-month versus three-month billing tables
- The terms are unusually blunt that the operator neither prescribes nor dispenses
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
Nova MD does not publicly identify the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. No bloodwork is required before you start. A clinician review is included in the price.

FDA warning letter
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning letter to Nova MD in September 2025. It is addressed to Try Nova — search that name, not ours, to find it. We are not summarizing what it says — read it at the source. This does not change how Nova MD is listed here or whether we are paid for a click to it, and we would rather you knew both of those things at once.
How the program works
Nova MD is operated by a men's-health company under a trading name, and is a broad telehealth catalog rather than a GLP-1 specialist: weight-loss products sit alongside sermorelin, enclomiphene, NAD+, glutathione and ED medication. Its terms state plainly that it does not provide medical services, prescribe, or operate a pharmacy — prescriptions come from independent licensed providers and are filled by independent state-licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, none of which is named. GLP-1 ships to all 50 states except Alaska. Plans run one, three, six and twelve months, and the advertised figure on each product is the twelve-month rung.
The honest cons
The microdose page renders no price at all. The $99 is fed to search engines and shown in a comparison pop-up, but never printed on the page itself — and on at least one other product the site is built to hide the price the same way
- No billing cycle is attached to the $99, and every sibling GLP-1 product advertises its twelve-month rung as the headline, so the figure cannot safely be read as a monthly price
- The advertised $109 and $149 figures are twelve-month rungs, disclosed as such only inside the FAQ rather than beside the number
- The legal entity is a men's-health company operating a weight-loss brand under a trading name, with no explanation of the relationship anywhere user-facing
- GLP-1 is one line in a catalog that also sells ED medication, so the clinical focus is diffuse rather than metabolic
- No pharmacy is ever named and no 503A or 503B designation appears, despite compounded products being the core offer
- Prescription medications are explicitly non-refundable once the prescription is written, disclosed only inside the FAQ
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

How it compares
Nova MD is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

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.
