Semaglutide costs $99 for a first month at Joi + Blokes, then $179/mo; tirzepatide opens at $149 and settles at $249/mo. Both are compounded and both bill quarterly. Hormones came first here, in two parallel programs, Joi for women and Blokes for men, with GLP-1 weight loss added later. Stacking the two is the differentiator against telehealth that sells weight loss alone. In June 2026 it received an FDA warning letter about its compounded GLP-1 marketing.
Is Joi + Blokes legit?
Joi + Blokes is a real, operating US company, and the FDA has issued it a warning letter. The letter is summarized at the top of this review. Read what it alleges before you decide, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you. We rate Joi + Blokes 6.8/10 overall.
Is there a Joi + Blokes promo or coupon code?
Joi + Blokes has no coupon code to enter. New patients are currently quoted $99 for the first month, then $179 a month, and the discount applies on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Joi + Blokes promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Joi + Blokes scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Joi + Blokes has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
5.8/10$179/month is 10% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare. Every listed price requires paying for several months up front.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
7.5/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake.
Trust & Safety15%
3.5/10The FDA has issued it a warning letter. No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.

What signing up with Joi + Blokes involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Joi + Blokes shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask Joi + Blokes which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 4The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and coaching.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $179, tirzepatide $249. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Joi + Blokes serves your state before you start.
- The FDA has issued Joi + Blokes a warning letter. It is covered in the enforcement section below; read what it alleges before you decide.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from Joi + Blokes's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $179 a month, 10% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $249 a month, close to the $269 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 coaching
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Against it
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- The FDA has issued Joi + Blokes a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
What Joi + Blokes charges
The figure Joi + Blokes leads with is $99, and it is a first-month rate. From month two the price is $179/month, which is the number to plan around. There is nothing wrong with an introductory offer; it just is not the price of staying on the medication.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99 first month, then $179/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $149 first month, then $249/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Joi + Blokes' $179 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Some of Joi + Blokes' plans are paid several months up front, so read the terms you agree to at checkout before you choose a longer one. Across the compounded market the dearest tenth of sellers charges about three times what the cheapest tenth does; how much GLP-1 prices actually vary explains the spread.
Bodybuilding Health+, at about $179/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Joi + Blokes dispenses
Joi + Blokes prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder.
Safety and disclosure
Joi + Blokes tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. The FDA has issued Joi + Blokes a warning letter, summarized at the top of this page. A letter flags a problem rather than ruling a seller out, so read what it says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Joi + Blokes will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Across the market, the FDA's GLP-1 warning letters are mostly about what sellers said rather than what pharmacies made. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Joi + Blokes also sells NAD+, and a 2026 systematic review found no outcomes trials of injected NAD+ for anti-aging or wellness.
Who should look elsewhere
- You would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will pay in month three.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Joi + Blokes bills your plan before you start.
- A seller's regulatory history matters to you more than price. Read the warning letter summarized above before deciding.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
Our read
Joi + Blokes is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $99 month for what it is good for, finding out whether the medication works for you, and re-run the numbers against $179/month before you let it renew twice. The catch is disclosure, which is why Joi + Blokes scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter summarized at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician who would prescribe for you.
The Bottom Line
Joi + Blokes falls below our bar on oversight: the FDA has issued it a warning letter. Its compounded semaglutide costs $179 a month, paid up front, 10% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.

Where Joi + Blokes is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Joi + Blokes sets more sellers in the same category beside Joi + Blokes on price, states and what the price includes.
