Eden Health GLP-1

#42 of 54

6.9/10

Premium online weight-loss program from Eden Health (San Francisco, founded 2021). Different from competitors in one specific way: every patient is paired with a board-certified obesity medicine doctor (a doctor with specialized training in weight and metabolism), not a general practitioner or nurse. Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly cost. Eden prescribes both compounded GLP-1s (custom-made versions, not the FDA-approved brand) and brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro.

Eden Health GLP-1

Pros

+4.5 stars across 3,777 verified Trustpilot reviews, 77% give 5 stars. Replies to 99% of negative reviews. The strongest customer-experience signal of any provider in our table.
+Doctors are board-certified obesity medicine specialists, not general practitioners. Specialized training in weight and metabolism.
+Quarterly blood panels (metabolic, lipid, A1C) are included in the monthly price. Most competitors don't include labs.
+Mandatory check-in with the doctor before each dose increase. Won't rush you up the ladder.
+Full medication choice: compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide AND brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro.

Cons

−$249/mo ongoing (month-to-month) is on the high end. Henry Meds is $199/mo for similar compounded care without labs; MEDVi is $179 for month one, then $299 for refills.
−Cash-pay only, no insurance billing.
−Cancellation friction is the main 1-star Trustpilot complaint (13% of reviews). Some users report being billed or shipped after they canceled.
−Their website is not always user-friendly, multiple Trustpilot users mention they had to contact support to make payment or account changes.
−Pharmacy partner not named specifically, 'state-licensed compounding pharmacies' in their marketing, but no individual facility named.
−FDA warning letter #728279, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading marketing claims about compounded GLP-1 products. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an allegation that medication was unsafe.

Maximus

Pros

+Lowest published microdose medication price we track, $79.99/mo semaglutide; consultation and lab fees are separate
+GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
+Maximus markets a semaglutide formula with added glycine and B12 as a way to ease nausea; we found no Maximus-specific clinical trial validating that claim
+Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

Cons

−The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
−Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
−Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise
−FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding
