About Clinic Secret

Pricing opens at $49/week and holds steady as the dose climbs. Membership fees do not exist here and insurance plays no part. Clinic Secret went live late in 2025 at clinicsecret.com, selling GLP-1 as compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a pentadeca arginate peptide. You fill in a medical assessment; US-based doctors read it and write the script where appropriate, frequently with no video call, depending on your state. Delivery takes roughly three days nationwide. Miss your goals inside 6 months and a money-back guarantee applies.

Pros & Cons

Clinic Secret

What we like

  • Tirzepatide at $196 a month, within the normal band around this register's $267 median for the same drug and form
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register

Watch-outs

  • No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • 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

Embody

What we like

  • Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Tirzepatide at $129 a month, 52% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
  • Coverage is published for all 50 states
  • Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
  • Both oral and injectable options are on record, so the format is a choice rather than a condition

Watch-outs

  • 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
