Yucca Health is a telehealth seller offering compounded GLP-1 medications at competitive prices.
Is Yucca Health legit?
Yes. Yucca Health is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 6.3/10 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 Yucca Health promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Yucca Health. Its listed price is $146 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Yucca Health discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Yucca Health scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Yucca Health 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%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%
6.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after the medical intake. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
10.0/10Serves 50 of 50 states.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Yucca Health 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.
- 1Yucca Health shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Yucca Health 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.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Yucca Health serves all 50 states.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Yucca Health's own checkout on 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
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Yucca Health
Against it
- 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
- 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 Yucca Health charges
The standing price at Yucca Health is $146/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $146/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $258/month
Found, at about $149/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Yucca Health dispenses
Yucca Health 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.
Safety and disclosure
Yucca Health tells you that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Yucca Health. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Yucca Health will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Yucca Health bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Yucca Health charges $146/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes.
The Bottom Line
Yucca Health's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay Yucca Health
Starting at $146 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Yucca Health 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 Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
