Gide Health
What we like
- Names its prescribing group, Beluga Health, and its dispensing pharmacy with an address and phone number
- Offers semaglutide as a needle-free daily oral drop as well as an injection
- Says plans include the doctor's visit, the medication and free shipping with no added fees
- Promises the same price at every dose, outside of promotional periods
- Lists the states it cannot serve for GLP-1 programs
Watch-outs
- Prices are shown only as starting or as-low-as figures, and the pages disagree with each other
- Plan length, billing cadence and the real charge sit behind an email gate early in the intake
- The site advertises a 15% weight-loss money-back promise, but its terms say all purchases are final
- Parts of the site still mention another company, Eden, in its testimonials and pharmacy text
- The named pharmacy says it lacks a license or sterile-compounding permit in ten states, including California and Texas
- Trustpilot says it removed the company's profile for going against its guidelines
- The LegitScript seal could not be matched to a public certification record
NewSelf
What we like
- Semaglutide+ from $99.97/mo — among the lowest prices in the dataset
- All dosages at the same price — no price escalation as dose increases
- LegitScript certified with 503A licensed pharmacies
- Third-party potency, sterility, and endotoxicity testing
- 48 states + Puerto Rico coverage
- B12/B6 + Glycine enhanced formulations
- No membership fees
Watch-outs
- Not available in Mississippi and Louisiana
- Compounded only — no brand-name options
- Site also promotes AI health optimization and longevity (broader platform)
