This is the one company that I like for brand new patients.
BMI must be 25+ to start.
They offer a starter pack: This is a 3 month supply of medicine ( all shipped at once) that starts you on the low starter dose and allows you to move up in dose as needed. This is the most cost effective way to get started.
If you do not need to increase your dose, you do not have to. This will make it so that the starter pack lasts longer than 3 months. Dosing is very dependent on the individual and you should always listen to your body and consult with your provider about dosing changes.
Semaglutide Starter Pack- $224
Tirzepatide Starter Pack- $449
No hidden fees or memberships. No shipping fees and all of your supplies are included.
This is the TOTAL price for all 3 months and you pay this upfront.

If You Are Already Established and Continuing
If You Are Already Established and Continuing
Once someone is established, priorities usually shift. If you are on GLP1s already and have proof, you can usually continue therapy without issues if your BMI is 20+.
At this stage, people tend to care more about:
Continuity
Flexibility
Longer-term planning
Overall cost over time
Depending on how much supply you want at once and how you prefer to manage payments, people often compare:

BMI under 25: Micro-dosing
BMI under 25: Micro-dosing
Not everyone is looking for aggressive intervention.
If your goals are more conservative — maintenance, longevity, or subtle metabolic support — micro-support options may be a better fit.
This is especially common for:
Established users transitioning into maintenance
Individuals with BMI ~20–25
Longevity- or hormone-support goals
Why I Often Recommend XMD Wellness:
Oral and injectable options
Ability to stack with select peptides
Flexible structure for long-term use
Better suited for lower-level support
