Provider review
Nova review
Publishes the microgram figure behind its daily oral dose, and three prices for the injection.
The oral daily dose names the amount of drug it delivers and undercuts the injection. Three price sets for the injection are live at once.

In one paragraph
The verdict
The daily oral dose is the reason to read this one. It is the only product in the catalog where an actual amount of drug is printed against a price — micrograms of semaglutide a day, a fraction of a milligram of tirzepatide — and it costs less than the weekly injection, so here the needle-free route is also the cheaper one. Everything is quoted all-in, with the medication, refrigerated shipping and the monthly care membership inside a single figure, which makes comparison with stacked-fee sellers straightforward. What is not straightforward is which figure applies to the injection. Three price sets are live at the same time: the number on the product page, an older pair inside that page's own questions, and a third set in the checkout code, and the arithmetic printed under the older pair does not add up to the newer one. Every injection figure is a starting-at floor the seller says rises with the dose, and no table anywhere maps a dose to a price, so a maintenance dose cannot be costed in advance. Coverage is stated precisely, at forty-nine states with the one exclusion named.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want a daily low dose that states the amount of drug it delivers rather than leaving it unsaid
- You want the needle-free route to be the cheaper one rather than a premium
- You want one all-in figure covering medication, shipping and membership instead of a stack of charges
Look elsewhere if
- You want a settled injection price — three sets are live at once and their arithmetic disagrees
- You expect to titrate up: every injection figure is a floor that rises with the dose, and no dose-to-price table exists
- You live in the one state the service excludes
What it actually costs
Price as published
★ A daily oral semaglutide dose at $169/month naming the amount it delivers, 36 mcg or 145 mcg as the provider selects, and a daily oral tirzepatide dose at $174/month at 0.4 mg — both well under the weekly injections and both all-in, with the medication, refrigerated shipping and the $99/month care membership inside the figure · compounded semaglutide injection $198/month and compounded tirzepatide injection $210/month, each a "starting at" floor that the company says scales with the dose · a program wrapper where the provider chooses the molecule is $165/month · ⚠ the same product pages carry OLDER FIGURES of $229 and $279 in their own questions, and the arithmetic printed beneath those — a $99 membership plus $130 of medication — does not reach the $198 shown above it · coverage is forty-nine states, everywhere except California
- Vs median
- $3/mo below the $172 median across the 254 of 393 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Charges less for less
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.
37 of the 393 programs we track price a small dose this way. The daily oral dose is the low-dose product and it is the only place in this catalog where an actual amount of drug is printed against a price — micrograms for semaglutide, milligrams for tirzepatide — and it undercuts the weekly injection. Everything is quoted all-in with the care membership inside the figure. Three price sets are live at once, and every injection figure is a floor the seller says rises with the dose.

What it does well
- Publishes the actual amount of drug behind the daily oral dose — micrograms for semaglutide, milligrams for tirzepatide — which few sellers here do
- The oral daily route costs less than the weekly injection, so the needle-free option is also the cheaper one
- Quotes all-in: the medication, refrigerated shipping and the monthly care membership are one figure rather than a stack
- States 503A as the compounding class and names a medical director and a nurse practitioner with their specialties
- States its coverage precisely — forty-nine states, with the one exclusion named
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
Nova dispenses through a 503A stated as the class — no pharmacy named facility. No bloodwork is required before you start. A clinician review is included in the price.

How the program works
Nova sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide as weekly injections and as daily oral doses, and the oral line is the reason to read the row: it is the only place in this catalog where an actual amount of drug is printed against a price, at 36 or 145 micrograms of semaglutide a day and 0.4 mg of tirzepatide, and it is cheaper than the injection. Everything is quoted all-in, with the $99 monthly care membership, the medication and refrigerated shipping inside one figure, which makes the comparison with stacked-fee sellers straightforward. What is not straightforward is which figure applies. Three price sets are live at the same time — the figure on the product page, an older pair inside that page's own questions, and a third set in the checkout code — and the arithmetic printed under the older pair does not add up to the newer one. Every injection figure is a starting-at floor that the company says rises with the dose, and no table anywhere maps a dose to a price, so a maintenance dose cannot be costed in advance. No pharmacy is named; 503A is stated as the class, and a medical director and a nurse practitioner are named with their specialties.
The honest cons
THREE PRICE SETS ARE LIVE AT ONCE — the product page's figure, an older pair inside that page's own questions, and a third set in the checkout code — and the arithmetic under the older pair does not reach the newer one
- Every injection figure is a starting-at floor that the company says rises with the dose, and no dose-to-price table exists anywhere, so a maintenance dose cannot be costed
- One page says the medication is billed separately from the $165 program while the product page for the same thing says the medication is included
- "You are only charged if a provider prescribes" sits against a refund policy making membership and consultation fees non-refundable even when the provider declines
- Two products listed in the site's own index render as not found, and one page still says care is available in two states on a site claiming forty-nine
- The support address is printed with the wrong domain ending on one page and correctly everywhere else, and no phone number is published
- No compounding pharmacy and no medical group is named
- A previous peptide line was withdrawn and the pages remain listed rather than removed
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

How it compares
Nova is one of 393 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 254 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.
