About Marek Health
There is no published rate. Each protocol gets its own quote. Clients in the US are matched to health coaches and partnered physicians for metabolic care, lab panels of some depth, and tirzepatide or semaglutide. Before a client sees a provider the first time, labs must be drawn; testing repeats at 6-12 weeks and then every 6 months. Alongside the partnered physician sits a Marek Health Coach assigned to that client, checking in routinely twice a year.
Read our full Marek Health review →About Superpower
A health membership priced at $199 per year, built around 100+ biomarker lab tests taken twice a year rather than around selling GLP-1s. Members judged clinically appropriate can add prescription treatments, compounded semaglutide or brand-name Ozempic among them, through the in-house Marketplace, billed apart from the membership fee. Three fulfillment pharmacies are named: Strive Pharmacy, Belmar Pharmacy and Progress Pharmacy.

Marek Health
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 70% below the $990 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping, lab work and coaching
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Marek Health
- 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
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Superpower

Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $1799 a month, 82% above the $990 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
