About Mint Medical Clinic
Mint Medical Clinic is a hybrid Utah practice with in-person locations in Sandy and Layton plus telehealth, offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide from $299/month. It discloses its parent practice, Balance Medical Clinic, and folds weight loss into a broader scope spanning sexual health and hormone optimization.

Mint Medical Clinic
What we like
- Hybrid model with an in-person consultation option for patients who prefer physical care
- Parent practice disclosed (Balance Medical Clinic)
- Physical Utah clinic addresses listed on the homepage
- $299/mo flat starting price, competitive with national DTC providers
- Broader scope (sexual health, hormones) may suit patients wanting integrated care
Watch-outs
- Utah only for in-person; telehealth states served not disclosed
- Pharmacy partner not disclosed
- LegitScript certification not mentioned
- 503A vs 503B compounding designation not disclosed
- No named medical director on the homepage
- Smaller local clinic with less supply-chain transparency than national platforms
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
