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

Shed

Pros

+Industry-leading delivery speed, most patients receive medication within 2-3 days of enrollment
+$199/mo is competitively priced for an all-inclusive compounded program with good support
+Streamlined onboarding with no video call, approved and shipped faster than most competitors
+Clean, modern UX with real-time shipping tracking and easy provider messaging

Cons

−The core $199 program is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; brand-name access runs through a separate $99/mo pathway subscription with medication billed at pharmacy rates on top
−Newer company (founded 2024) with limited long-term track record and outcome data; the 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating across 766 reviews is the strongest early evidence available
−No insurance billing and no FSA/HSA superbills currently available
−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 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; Shed is from $159/mo.

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 Luvo Health and Shed start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 53 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.
