About Beluga Health

Consumers are not Beluga Health's customers; other companies are. The nationwide medical group, led by Dr. Jonah Mink, sits white-label behind direct-to-consumer health brands, furnishing the licensed-provider layer that makes their GLP-1 weight-loss lines work. Clinicians titrate compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which independent pharmacies including CareGLP and Belmar then dispense. Being B2B infrastructure, it lists no consumer price. Reporting has named it among the nationwide groups linked to FDA scrutiny of how telehealth markets GLP-1s.

Pros & Cons

Beluga Health

What we like

  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Beluga Health

Watch-outs

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
