About KERNX Health
Flat monthly plans for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, run out of Washington DC, with one price at every dose and the provider consultation inside the plan rather than billed per visit. The gap is upstream of the price: KERNX no longer names the pharmacy that fills the vial, describing it only as the licensed dispensing pharmacy identified in your treatment and fulfillment information.
Read our full KERNX Health review →About The Edit
Every treatment page carries its price in the open, and beginning requires no card on file. Austin is home to The Edit Health LLC, a management services organization under Texas law, selling GHK-Cu, glutathione, sermorelin and NAD+ protocols beside compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide for weight loss. An independent practice affiliated with it, Arora Health & Aesthetics, does the prescribing; a named partner in Miami, The Pharmacy Hub, does the dispensing. Spanish and English both run on the site.
