About Basal Health
Three things go undisclosed: the GLP-1 molecules used, the pharmacy that fills the order, and the price. What Basal Health does describe is a metabolic-medicine framework in which the drug is one element of five markers under watch, body fat, VO2 max, hormonal response, muscle mass and insulin sensitivity, with dosing supervised by clinicians and adapted rather than fixed. The service covers all 50 states and DC.

Basal Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- Serves all 50 states

Watch-outs

- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Henry Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Henry Meds
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- 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 semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
Henry Meds wins this one, 5.5 to 4.7, above all for an oral route if you will not self-inject. Basal Health fits better if coverage in all 50 states, which most sellers will not confirm is your priority.
