#19 of 36

7.2/10

Direct-to-consumer telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, plus a wider lifestyle menu of peptide options (NAD+, Sermorelin, GHK-Cu topical, glutathione, PT-141) and on-demand sexual-performance medications (tadalafil, sildenafil). Operated by Dynamo Group LLC (Boca Raton, FL) under a Bodybuilding.com brand license and sold at bbhealthplus.com rather than bodybuilding.com. Compounded GLP-1 only, no brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound/Ozempic/Mounjaro. Cash-pay (no insurance billing); 1-month to 12-month bundles available. The published FAQ credits the clinical team as Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr MD and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink MD, and names four partner pharmacies: Belmar Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy, Epiq Scripts and Casa Pharma Rx (verified 2026-09-03).

7.3/10

Online weight-loss program that ships compounded GLP-1 medication to your door. Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. runs the storefront and OpenLoop Health supplies the clinical network on the current site. Embody now advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and GLP-1 + GIP from $129; its FAQ says the chosen rate holds within a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan.

Why each one	The multi-program optimization stack, one account covering compounded GLP-1, longevity peptides (NAD+, Sermorelin), a newer peptide line (GHK-Cu, glutathione, PT-141) and on-demand ED meds, with a named clinical team (Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr MD and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink MD), four named partner pharmacies and 1- to 12-month bundle flexibility. Backed by a 25+ year consumer fitness brand under a Dynamo Group LLC operating license.	Publishes a complete four-tier price ladder for both molecules, so the commitment behind every advertised rate is checkable rather than implied.

Pros & Cons Compared

Bodybuilding Health+

Pros

+Competitive entry pricing: $179/mo for compounded semaglutide and $209/mo for compounded tirzepatide undercuts the mid-tier compounded average (~$199/$299) for both formats
+Names both its clinicians and its pharmacies: the FAQ credits Lion MD, led by Dr. Ana Lisa Carr MD (NPI 1689841744) and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink MD (NPI 1346482684), and lists four partner pharmacies with phone numbers, Belmar Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy, Epiq Scripts and Casa Pharma Rx. Most compounded-only platforms in this price tier name neither, and a LegitScript certification seal sits in the footer of every page (verified 2026-09-03).
+Multi-month bundles (1, 3, 6, 12 months) with cancel-anytime, no-monthly-membership flexibility, strong fit for users who want to lock in a price without subscription lock-in
+Multi-program platform: the same account adds longevity peptides (NAD+ from $129/mo, Sermorelin from $119/mo on its own page), a newer peptide line (GHK-Cu topical $129/mo, glutathione injection $179/mo, PT-141 injection $169/mo) and on-demand ED meds (tadalafil / sildenafil from $96/mo), convenient for users stacking metabolic, longevity and performance protocols

Cons

−Compounded-only, no brand-name FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or a brand-name oral GLP-1 pill. Compounded oral formats are offered for microdosing, but patients who want an FDA-approved finished product need a different provider for that piece.
−The same supply carries different prices on different pages. The bundle selector shows tirzepatide at $179/mo for three months, while the tirzepatide product page charges $859 for the same three-month supply, which works out to $286.33/mo, so confirm the total on the page you actually check out from (verified 2026-09-03).
−Operating entity is Dynamo Group LLC under a brand license, NOT Bodybuilding.com directly. The "Trusted by millions since 1999" framing describes the parent retail brand; the GLP-1 program launched in 2026 and stands on its own record.
−The binding terms run harder than the marketing copy: all sales are final, prescription products cannot be returned, and medical consult fees are not refundable, with mandatory arbitration under AAA consumer rules, a class-action waiver and Fulton County, Georgia venue. The terms also name a third company, CareValidate, as a payment and liability party, capping its liability at $100 (terms last updated May 7, 2026).

Embody

Pros

+Publishes a complete price ladder for both molecules, so what each advertised rate costs up front is checkable: semaglutide $79/$76/$73/$69 and tirzepatide $129/$126/$123/$119 across one, three, six and twelve months.
+One-month injection prices of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP were visible in Embody's catalogue on September 20, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
+Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
+Publishes its cancellation and refund terms in full, dated August 25, 2026, so the 72-hour cancellation cutoff and limited medical-disqualification refund exception are readable before you pay.
+Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

−Payments are normally non-refundable. If Embody's provider determines medical disqualification, its refund policy allows a refund for unused services after deducting services already provided. Cancellation otherwise stops future renewal. The twelve-month semaglutide plan commits $828 up front; cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date.
−The public catalogue shows $69/$119 as twelve-month equivalents paid up front at $828/$1,428, but Embody's separate promotional landing advertises $69/$119 flat monthly and describes a no-contract month-to-month option. We could not verify the final promotional checkout charge or term; compare it with the $79/$129 one-month catalogue plans before paying.
−Trustpilot showed 3.8 / 5 across 8,121 reviews on 2026-09-20, while the landing page advertised 4.8 on our prior check. The Trustpilot profile includes merged reviews from another profile, and individual reports cover different pricing periods. It is not a measure of clinical quality.
−Embody names four partner pharmacies: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Medicine in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama, and says all four are 503A compounding pharmacies. It does not say which one will fill your prescription. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations, and the FDA close-out in May 2023 records that the firm no longer produces sterile drug products.
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
−Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. also runs SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com). Each footer names the shared parent, but none of the three names the others, and SnagRx sells the same compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the same $69 and $119 prices Embody's own landing page shows.
