Provider review
Wholesome Clinic review
Prices three dose tiers per molecule, and charges a consultation before any of them.
The cost of titrating up is visible in advance, three tiers deep on each molecule. A consultation fee lands before the first prescription, and both injectables carry an added vitamin.

In one paragraph
The verdict
This is one of the few places here where a reader can see what climbing the ladder will cost before they start it. Three priced tiers on semaglutide, three on tirzepatide, each keyed to a milligram range. On semaglutide the steps are gentle enough that a titration will not upend a budget. On tirzepatide they are not — the top tier costs well over three times the semaglutide starter, which is exactly the sort of thing worth knowing while choosing a molecule rather than eight months into one. There is also an oral dissolving tablet for patients who qualify, at the lowest figure on the page. Two things sit outside those headline numbers. A consultation is charged before any medication is dispensed, so the first month costs meaningfully more than the plan rate implies, and that is disclosed rather than hidden but easy to miss. And both injectables are compounded with something added — a vitamin in each case — so what is being priced is a combination preparation rather than the molecule alone. Common enough in this category, and not a problem in itself, but it makes a straight comparison against a plain compounded price inexact.
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 see what each dose tier costs before you begin titrating.
- You may qualify for an oral dissolving tablet, priced at the lowest figure here.
- You would rather the consultation charge be stated up front than appear at checkout.
Look elsewhere if
- You are budgeting the first month. A consultation fee lands before any medication.
- You want the plain molecule. Both injectables are compounded with an added vitamin.
- You are heading toward a high tirzepatide dose. The top tier is more than triple the semaglutide starter.
What it actually costs
Price as published
★★ Priced by dose tier on both molecules: compounded semaglutide with B12 at $149/mo for a 0.25–0.5 mg starter, $169 at 1.0 mg and from $199 at 1.7–2.4 mg · compounded tirzepatide with niacinamide at $349/mo for a 2.5–5.0 mg starter, $449 at 7.5–10 mg and $549 at 12.5–15 mg · an oral GLP-1 dissolving tablet at $109/mo for patients who qualify, the cheapest route it offers · an initial 30-minute virtual consultation costs $149 on top, charged before any medication · both injectables are compounded WITH an added vitamin — B12 in the semaglutide, niacinamide in the tirzepatide — so neither is the molecule on its own, and nothing published prices the plain version · the tirzepatide ladder climbs steeply: the top tier is more than triple the semaglutide starter
- Vs median
- $20/mo below the $169 median across the 242 of 373 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- 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.
36 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. Three priced dose tiers per molecule, keyed to milligram ranges, with the price rising as the dose does. A consultation fee is charged before any medication, and both injectables are compounded WITH an added vitamin, so the figures price a combination preparation rather than the molecule alone.

How the program works
Wholesome Clinic does the thing this site keeps asking for: it attaches milligrams to prices, three tiers deep on each molecule, so a reader can see exactly what climbing the ladder costs before they start it. On semaglutide the steps are gentle. On tirzepatide they are not — the top tier costs well over three times the semaglutide starter, which is a useful thing to know at the point of choosing a molecule rather than eight months into one. It also prices an oral dissolving tablet for patients who qualify, at the lowest figure on the page. Two things to factor in that the headline figures leave out. There is a consultation charge before any medication is dispensed, so the first month costs meaningfully more than the plan rate suggests. And both injectables are compounded with something else added — a vitamin in each case — so what is being priced is a combination preparation rather than the molecule alone. That is not unusual in this category and not necessarily a problem, but it makes a straight comparison against a plain compounded price inexact.
The honest cons
A consultation fee is charged before any medication, on top of the plan price.
- Both injectables are compounded with an added vitamin; the plain molecule is not priced.
- The tirzepatide ladder climbs steeply — its top tier is more than triple the semaglutide starter.

How it compares
Wholesome Clinic 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.
