About BioGlow Health
Two omissions stand out: BioGlow names neither its clinicians nor the pharmacy behind its compounding. Its prices start above where most compounded competitors begin. The brand runs several verticals under physician supervision, weight loss, peptides, testosterone, ED and hair, shipping compounded drugs to all 50 states with the consultation and the delivery both free. For weight it markets compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and retatrutide, ordered through an online intake a provider then reviews. Retatrutide remains an investigational molecule that the FDA has not approved.

Billed in 3-month blocks, the compounded GLP-1 semaglutide starts at $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide at $183/mo. Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD founded the practice and every plan is written by a doctor, filled at a licensed US pharmacy and delivered to the door. Messaging the care team has no cap and nothing locks you in. Peptide and hormone therapy round out the menu. Telehealth reaches all 50 states.

BioGlow Health
What we like
- Tirzepatide costs $169 a month, 32% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to BioGlow Health
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $349 a month, 89% 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
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its retatrutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
- Its menu lists retatrutide, which FDA says cannot be used in compounding under federal law and has not been found safe and effective for any condition
