Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want a storefront where you choose a dose, add it to your cart and pay, with no membership.
- You're also interested in the longevity products Arc-1 sells, such as B12 or glutathione injections.
Skip it if
- You're new to semaglutide and want a 0.25 mg starting option, which Arc-1 doesn't list.
- You want one price that holds as your dose goes up.
- You'd like the prescriber and pharmacy named before you pay.
What's included
The semaglutide product page offers three weekly doses: 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2.5 mg. The lowest is $200 a month, and the price climbs with the dose to $550 at 2.5 mg. Checkout carries a zero-dollar consultation fee, and orders ship free and discreetly.
Arc-1 is a longevity-focused clinic founded by Dr. Todd A. Stearns, a board-certified OB-GYN. Prescriptions come from licensed practitioners in its physician network, and US-licensed compounding pharmacies dispense them. Neither the prescribing group nor the pharmacy is named on the product page.
