About iThriveMD
Compounded GLP-1 semaglutide opens at $299/mo and tirzepatide at $399/mo, with microdosing tirzepatide programs beside them and cheaper 'preferred pricing' held back for members. The initial consultation is free and protocols are built off labs. iThriveMD keeps physical locations as well as telehealth, and works metabolic health next to diagnostic lab testing, IV therapy, peptides, NAD+, sexual health and hormone therapy (HRT/TRT). Its legal and policy documentation is thorough. Nobody names the compounder and no LegitScript certification appears.

Watch-outs
