KIN Health
What we like
- One flat price at every dose: $169/mo semaglutide and $199/mo tirzepatide, shown on the product page before any quiz
- Provider review, ongoing messaging and shipping are included, with no membership fee and no separate consultation charge
- Names who does the work: prescribers through MD Integrations and three pharmacies, Strive, Boothwyn and Drug Crafters
- Publishes a provider directory with license numbers for the states that require it
- Month-to-month: each refill needs your approval, and you are refunded in full if a provider does not approve treatment
- The company behind it is named: KIN Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation
- Sermorelin, NAD+ and PT-141 on the same account, each in injection, nasal spray or dissolvable tablet form
Watch-outs
- The terms say tirzepatide's monthly cost may change as your dose rises, which cuts against the flat-price promise on the product page
- Product pages say no subscriptions and no auto-renew, while the terms describe a GLP-1 subscription billed each refill cycle
- No refunds once medication ships, and a refill already sent to the pharmacy cannot be canceled
- GLP-1 care is not offered in California, Louisiana, Minnesota or Mississippi
- Support is by email only, with replies promised within one business day; no phone number is published
- Claims LegitScript certification, but no record could be confirmed in LegitScript's public directory
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and the formula may include glycine or B12 depending on the pharmacy
- A young brand: its terms took effect in April 2026, so there is little track record to judge
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
