Verbatim response from Claude
Reputable Compounded GLP-1 Programs
Here are some well-regarded options, though this space changes quickly:
Telehealth Platforms with Compounded GLP-1s
Hims & Hers
- Large, established telehealth company with strong medical oversight
- Transparent about compounding pharmacy partnerships
LifeMD / Trimly
- Publicly traded company with accountability
- Physician-supervised programs
Ro (Body Program)
- Well-known brand with structured support
- Includes coaching components
Henry Meds
- Focuses specifically on metabolic health
- Competitive pricing
Things to Look For
- 503B-accredited compounding pharmacies (FDA-registered, higher safety standards)
- Licensed physician oversight (not just nurse practitioners with minimal review)
- Transparent ingredient sourcing
- Lab testing of batches
Important Caveats
- The FDA has flagged compounded semaglutide as having safety concerns and has been tightening regulations as Ozempic/Wegovy shortages resolve
- Compounded ≠ FDA-approved - quality varies significantly
- Brand-name options (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) remain the gold standard if accessible
Bottom line: If cost is the driver, Hims & Hers or Henry Meds are reasonable starting points, but verify their compounding pharmacy credentials before committing.
