ElixaMD
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide at $99 for the first month and $199 after, with free shipping, no contract and no insurance required

- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
Watch-outs

- Sells compounded semaglutide plus brand Wegovy and Zepbound; there is no compounded tirzepatide option
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
