Welling Health
What we like
- Transparent flat monthly rate — $190 semaglutide / $275 tirzepatide, all doses, no insurance or hidden fees
- LegitScript-certified 503A pharmacy with US-licensed clinicians in all 50 states and a named legal entity

- Free shipping, free AI macro-tracker app, and 24-hour intake review
Watch-outs

- The streak discount requires daily in-app meal logging — miss days and you pay full rate
- The compounding pharmacy partner is described as a LegitScript-certified 503A but not named
- Only two medications — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; no oral or non-GLP options
