Luvo Health

#53 of 53

2.4/10

Luvo Health is a multi-service telehealth clinic running weight loss beside microdosing, longevity, skincare, hormone replacement and testosterone. Its GLP-1 line covers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, compounded semaglutide tablets, and brand Ozempic and Zepbound, each with its own page and published price. Pricing is quoted per week and billed in 4-week cycles, which reads cheaper than the monthly figure it works out to, and the brand rates are among the highest we track.

Pros & Cons Compared

Luvo Health

Pros

+Publishes a price on every medication page and a full 4-week grid on /pricing, with no intake required to see either
+Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+Will transfer your prescription to any licensed pharmacy you choose, in writing, and coordinates it for you. Most compounded programs we track lock you to their own pharmacy

Cons

−Brand pricing is the highest we track: Ozempic $1,299 per 4 weeks ($325/week) and Zepbound $350/week, roughly $1,408/mo against NovoCare self-pay at $349
−Prices are quoted per WEEK and billed per 4-WEEK cycle, so a year is 13 cycles rather than 12 and costs more than the monthly reading suggests
−The cheaper per-week floors ($45 semaglutide, $67 tirzepatide) require longer commitments whose terms and totals are never published
−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; 'prepared by licensed pharmacies' is as specific as the site gets
−No legal entity is disclosed on the homepage, pricing page or FAQ
−No lab panel is offered or required, and no third-party review profile could be located

Novi

Pros

+Six disclosed clinicians on staff, Daniel Funsch MD, Michael Wasef MD, Takashi Nakamura MD plus three nurse practitioners (Hastings NP, Clements NP, Vergara DNP), more named providers than most compounded-only platforms publish
+Month-to-month billing with no minimum commitment, cancel before any renewal date with no early-termination penalty
+Aggressive promotional pricing on the offer landing, $99-$133/mo compounded semaglutide and $149-$166/mo compounded tirzepatide with a $200 OFF intro discount
+Unlimited clinician check-ins, dose adjustments, and weight-loss coaching included at no additional cost
+Free 2-day shipping; Novi markets compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are not FDA-approved brands or generics and are not established as equivalent to Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
+100,000+ patients claimed and editorial coverage in Bloomberg, Forbes, and WebMD provide third-party signal

Cons

−Compounded-only, no FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Mounjaro through the platform; no Foundayo or oral GLP-1 formats
−Founding year, headquarters city, and corporate ownership are not publicly disclosed
−Promotional $99-$133 pricing applies to the introductory offer landing only, standard rate after any qualifying intro period is $174-$283/mo (verify the renewal rate before enrolling)
−Once medication is dispensed/shipped, prescriptions cannot be returned or refunded, typical for compounded telehealth but worth understanding
−Lab requirements before prescribing are not disclosed on public pages, unclear whether baseline bloodwork is required
−Multiple landing pages (offer-v4, offer-v6-low) show different headline prices, which can create pricing confusion before checkout

Our Verdict

Novi edges out Luvo Health with a score of 7.8/10 vs 2.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Luvo Health is from $249/mo; Novi is from $133/mo. Luvo Health offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.
