Found Youth
What we like
- Six GLP-1 formats — standard, microdose and sublingual drops for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Names its fulfilling pharmacy: The Pharmacy Hub, 15600 NW 15th Ave, Miami FL, with a published phone number
- A genuine one-month option exists on every product, so you are not forced into a prepay
- Microdose semaglutide starts at $149, the lowest entry price on their own menu
- Subscriptions can be paused, modified or canceled before the next renewal, by portal or email
- Prices are on the shop cards, so nothing is gated behind an intake
Watch-outs
- All sales are final once a prescription product has been dispensed
- The 3 and 6-month terms are single upfront charges, not a lower monthly rate
- No legal entity name is published on the return or shipping policy pages
- No state list is published anywhere
- Support is email-only, with a stated one-business-day response and no phone line
- Sublingual and microdose GLP-1 formats have thinner evidence than standard injections
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
