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).

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.	One flat price at any dose. Shed holds the monthly price steady as the dose escalates, with semaglutide from $159 and tirzepatide from $239 on the 12-month plans and provider care included.

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).

Shed

Pros

+One flat price at any dose, Shed's pricing page states the monthly price never rises as the dose escalates
+$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
+Onboarding is fully online and asynchronous in many states, with same day approval advertised, though Shed says some states require a video visit before treatment
+Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

−Brand name Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo sit behind a separate Shed membership, quoted at $125 a month on all three product pages, with the medication billed on top by the dispensing pharmacy. The small print on the Wegovy and Zepbound pages still says $99, so Shed's own pages disagree on the figure.
−Short track record and thin published outcome data. A founding date is not shown on the site's about, contact, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and the best evidence available is a 4.7 Trustpilot score across 1,129 reviews on a profile claimed in April 2025
−Shed does not bill insurance, so the compounded program is cash pay, though it accepts HSA and FSA cards, posts downloadable receipts for reimbursement, and includes prior authorization and appeals support on the brand name route
−Clinical support is responsive (replies typically within 24 hours) but less proactive than premium platforms; a $49.99/mo premium coaching add-on covers those who want higher touch

Our Verdict

Shed edges out Bodybuilding Health+ with a score of 7.8/10 vs 7.2/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Bodybuilding Health+ is $179/mo month-to-month; Shed is from $159/mo. Shed 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 Shed 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.
