Verbatim: 'Requires Collective membership: 21 day free trial, then a low annual $199 membership fee. No recurring monthly membership charges.' Charged yearly, not monthly. Terms of Use: 'all membership fees are non-refundable, and partial-period refunds are not provided.'
Loop Health
Membership fee only — medication is NOT included. Loop sells one plan: '$1,500 / yr', which is $125 a month, and the page states 'Annual plan only at launch'. It includes a '$180/mo research credit applied to peptides, panels, and add-on packages'.

Loop Health is a US telehealth membership platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide under its Loop Lean program, alongside peptides, NAD+, sermorelin, coaching, and bloodwork.

Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
Loop Health
What we like
- Multi-product wellness platform — GLP-1 plus peptides, NAD+, coaching, bloodwork
- Low membership entry point ($79/mo)
- Annual plan includes monthly 'research credit' toward compounds
- Explicit compounded-drug FDA disclaimer on-site
Watch-outs
- Per-dose GLP-1 drug pricing not transparent on public site (compounds billed separately by pharmacy)
- States-served list not enumerated — only 'select U.S. states'
- Platform explicitly 'is not a healthcare provider' — relies on independent provider network
- No LegitScript number disclosed on homepage
