About Metabolyz

No figure is posted; you hear it at the first consultation. Three compounded tracks exist, one of them a microdose protocol for people who cannot tolerate standard doses or who are close to goal weight, the other two standard semaglutide and dual-agonist tirzepatide. Coaching on lifestyle and nutrition is built in, delivery is temperature-controlled, US pharmacies holding 503A/503B licenses supply the drug, and a physician supervises in all 50 states.

Pros & Cons

Embody

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $79 a month, 57% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Tirzepatide costs $129 a month, 48% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
  • 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
  • Serves all 50 states
  • Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Embody
  • Offers both oral and injectable options, so the format is your choice

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

Metabolyz

What we like

  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
  • Serves all 50 states
  • We found no FDA warning letters issued to Metabolyz

Watch-outs

  • You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
  • Not included in the monthly price: lab work
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license

Our Verdict

Winner: Embody

Embody wins this one, 9.3 to 4.7, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names RedRock Pharmacy. Metabolyz fits better if coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately is your priority.
