About Aurelius Health Group
Month one costs $89; every month after that is $199, a figure taking in consultations, the protocol itself, shipping and monitoring. Rather than standard full-dose therapy, the whole platform is built on microdosed compounded tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 approach given at low dose. Add-ons are optional: NAD+, L-carnitine, B12, inositol. Worth noting, the site does not hide that trial data behind microdosing is thin.

Watch-outs
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its tirzepatide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
