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).

Telehealth platform whose compounded GLP-1 line covers semaglutide and tirzepatide, sold as a $149/mo microdose tier and a $179/mo all-doses tier, alongside brand-name Ozempic at $1,299/mo and a 'coming soon' Wegovy pill.

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).

Gala

Pros

+Compounded GLP-1 is $149/mo on the microdose tier or $179/mo with all doses included on the yearly plan, and Gala's about page lists GLP-1 medication from $199/mo on a 3-month plan
+A free Gala GLP-1 app for in-treatment logging, promoted in the footer of every page; first-party logging is uncommon among compounded-only platforms
+OpenLoop-affiliated medical groups + LegitScript verification provide third-party accountability that many compounded-only platforms lack
+All 50 states, free shipping, no insurance required, 24/7 patient support claimed

Cons

−Brand-name Ozempic here is $1,299/mo, materially above NovoCare's Wegovy pen $199/mo for the first two 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg fills through December 31, 2026, then $349/mo at standard strengths or $399/mo for Wegovy HD; oral pill from $149/mo, dose-dependent. Buy brand-name elsewhere; Gala's value is its compounded GLP-1 line.
−Product pages quote only the yearly subscription, its about page lists a 3-month GLP-1 plan from $199/mo, and the plan you actually get is set at checkout after you log in
−Mixed Trustpilot reviews mention dosing inconsistencies and slow customer service responsiveness, verify your specific dose and batch with each refill
−Initial consultation is typically a sync video visit, but ongoing follow-ups are chat-based (no scheduled ongoing video access), and Gala publishes no lab panel for the GLP-1 program, no named medical director and no specialty obesity oversight; its refund policy does list lab services among what the subscription price may cover
−Restrictive refund policy, Gala's published terms state 'IN NO EVENT SHALL YOU BE ISSUED A REFUND UPON CANCELLATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES' with a narrow exception for provider-initiated medical disqualification. No money-back guarantee. Read the published policy at galaglp1.com/refund-policy before enrolling on a commitment plan
−Newer brand under AI Coaching, Inc. (founded 2024 per LinkedIn), limited public company history; founders, founding year, and named medical director not publicly disclosed on galaglp1.com itself

Our Verdict

Bodybuilding Health+ and Gala are closely matched with identical scores of 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Bodybuilding Health+ is $179/mo month-to-month; Gala is from $149/mo. Gala offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both Bodybuilding Health+ and Gala start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 36 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
