About Balanced Hormone Health

Insurance is never billed by Balanced Hormone Health. The practice runs private-pay and hands over receipts for HSA/HRA accounts instead. HRT and BHRT are its roots, with compounded GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP plans added on: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, frequently paired with B vitamins, sourced through partner pharmacies it names as Revive and Striker. A branded Zepbound option is listed too. Expect about a week for a batch to be made before it ships. Most states are reachable, though which ones drop out depends on the compounding pharmacy handling the order.

About TRT Nation

Any dose of compounded tirzepatide costs a flat $219/month at TRT Nation, and every script is compounded with vitamin B12 to take the edge off nausea. Compounded semaglutide is sold too, and GLP-1 pricing has been reported across a range of roughly $150 to $400/month. Inside the flat plan sit an initial virtual physician visit, delivery out of licensed US compounding pharmacies, and follow-ups without limit. This is a men's platform built mainly on testosterone replacement, with the compounded GLP-1 line secondary. Neither its pharmacy partner nor its 503A status is publicly disclosed.

Pros & Cons

Balanced Hormone Health

What we like

  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Balanced Hormone Health
  • A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake

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

What we like

  • Tirzepatide costs $219 a month, 12% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to TRT Nation

Watch-outs

  • You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
  • 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
