About Lean Meds
Titrating up does not raise the rate, which is flat and monthly: $79 to start on compounded semaglutide, $109 on compounded tirzepatide, the telehealth visit and shipping absorbed into both. Clinicians come from the OpenLoop Health network. Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC operates the service and puts names to its five dispensing pharmacies as well as to the physicians who prescribe.

Member prices are $109/month for compounded semaglutide and $159/month for compounded tirzepatide, but reaching them means a three-month minimum commitment, a one-time $99 consult and a $129/month membership on top. Vita Bella Health, LLC runs the Nevada-based platform, which puts anti-aging care, sexual-wellness, peptides and hormone therapy beside the compounded GLP-1s. Care is fully remote in 46 states and Washington, D.C. The LegitScript certification is genuine. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.

Lean Meds
What we like
- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $109 a month, 59% 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 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
- Coverage is published for all 50 states
- Names 5 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
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
Vita Bella
What we like
- The monthly figure covers consult
- Coverage is published for 46 states
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Watch-outs
- No price appears until the medical intake is complete, so the cost cannot be compared before health information is submitted
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: medication, shipping
- 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
Our Verdict
Lean Meds takes it, 9.3 against 5.6, and it is especially strong on knowing which pharmacy fills the vial — it names Belmar Pharmacy. Vita Bella is no weak second and may fit you better on a published state list — 46 of 50 — when most of the register publishes none.
