Sunlight sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide for one monthly price that covers the drug, any number of telehealth visits and delivery, and does not change with the dose. Its fall promotion advertises $88 for semaglutide and $157 for tirzepatide, but no page says what later months cost. It is run by GLP-1, LLC, doing business as Sunlight.com, and it names six compounding pharmacies.
Is Sunlight legit?
Yes. Sunlight is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 7.2/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Sunlight promo or coupon code?
Sunlight has no code to type in. The current offer: new patients pay $159 for the first month of semaglutide (regularly $299); tirzepatide is $239 (regularly $379). It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Sunlight promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Sunlight scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Sunlight 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.

What signing up with Sunlight 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.
- 1Sunlight 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.
- 2Ask Sunlight which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $379. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Sunlight serves all 50 states and DC.
- 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 Sunlight'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
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states and DC
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Sunlight
Against it
- Semaglutide costs $299 a month, 50% above the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $379 a month, 41% above the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- 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 Sunlight charges
$88 is a promotional price at Sunlight; the regular price is $299/month. Budget with the regular one unless the offer's terms say the lower price stays.
- Compounded semaglutide: $88 promotional price, regular $299/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $157 promotional price, regular $379/month
For compounded tirzepatide, the median across the sellers we compare is $269/month, so Sunlight's $379 is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Plan the year on the regular price, not the promotional one. Before you pay, compare Sunlight's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. For scale, the dearest tenth of compounded sellers charges about three times the cheapest tenth.
Direct Meds dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $249/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Sunlight dispenses
Sunlight prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product: the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality. For what differs besides the price, see compounded semaglutide vs Ozempic and Wegovy.
Safety and disclosure
Sunlight tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Sunlight. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Sunlight will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. Once you have the pharmacy's name, 503A vs 503B explains which regulator oversees it and how to check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Sunlight 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 care most about the twelve-month total, not the first bill. A flat-rate seller such as Collective will usually win that math.
- You would be choosing on the advertised figure. The promotional price is real, but it is not the regular price.
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Sunlight bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Sunlight is cheaper on its $88 promotional price than at its regular $299/month. Compare sellers at the regular price, and count the promotion as a bonus for as long as it holds. MangoRx is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Sunlight scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on price. It charges from $299 a month; its compounded tirzepatide, at $379, is 41% above the $269 median among the sellers we compare.

Where Sunlight is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three 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 you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Sunlight sets more sellers in the same category beside Sunlight on price, states and what the price includes.
