Compounded semaglutide

Embody review

By ·Editor·Reviewed

At $79 every four weeks, Embody's compounded semaglutide averages roughly $86 a calendar month, with shipping and clinician care included. Moving up a dose doesn't change it. The trade-off sits in the fine print, because Embody's payments are non-refundable once made.

Is it right for you?

Worth a look if

  • Price is your first filter and you want semaglutide under a flat rate.
  • You like having a coach to check in with, separate from the prescriber.
  • You're transferring from another GLP-1 provider and can show your current prescription.

Skip it if

  • You might want your money back if you don't finish the intake.
  • You'd find a charge every 28 days harder to track than one on the same date each month.

What's included

Embody's semaglutide product is a one-month supply of weekly injections for $79, renewed every 28 days. Longer terms of 12, 24 and 52 weeks are offered at checkout. Embody says your price won't increase as your dose goes up, only if you change plan or medication.

Your subscription bundles the clinician evaluation, the medication, dose adjustments and delivery. Care coaching is free and optional, and the coaches cover routines, motivation and side effects rather than prescribing. A care team answers messages around the clock.

Clinicians from OpenLoop Health make the prescribing calls. Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. operates the platform, and state-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies prepare the medication. The site names Health Warehouse in Kentucky and Precision Medicine in New York among its partners.

From sign-up to refills

  1. Answer the eligibility questions online. Embody says the intake takes under two minutes.
  2. Pick your plan length and check out.
  3. An OpenLoop Health clinician reviews what you submitted and may set up a brief virtual appointment if something needs clarifying.
  4. Once approved, your prescription is sent to a partner pharmacy and shipped free by expedited delivery.
  5. Refills continue on the same cycle until you cancel in the patient portal.

What's good, what isn't

What's good

  • At Embody, semaglutide has one price across doses, so a higher dose never raises your bill.
  • Free, optional coaching from Embody's care coaches sits alongside 24/7 messaging.
  • Patients already on semaglutide elsewhere can continue at their current dose after Embody reviews proof of the prescription.

What isn't

  • All subscription payments are final under Embody's policy, even when the intake is never completed.
  • Charges come every 28 days, adding up to 13 payments of $79 in a year.
  • A cancellation that reaches Embody within 72 hours of the billing date still gets charged.

Read these terms first

The billing schedule
Embody advertises semaglutide per month, but its plans are 4, 12, 24 or 52 weeks long. Expect the shortest plan to charge $79 every 28 days.
If you're not eligible
A clinician's disqualification is the only route to a refund. Even then, Embody deducts the cost of consultations and reviews already done.

Common questions about Embody

How much does Embody semaglutide cost?
$79 every 28 days on the shortest plan, or about $86 a month on average. Dose changes don't affect it and there's no membership fee. Embody's tirzepatide averages $140 a month.
Is Embody semaglutide the same as Ozempic?
No. Embody offers compounded semaglutide made by a licensed compounding pharmacy for one patient at a time. It hasn't been FDA-approved, unlike Wegovy or Ozempic, and Embody's own pages say so.
Is Embody legit?
Embody is operated by Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc., a company with a Wilmington, Delaware address. OpenLoop Health supplies the licensed clinicians who decide on prescriptions, and named partner pharmacies fill them.
How do you cancel Embody?
Cancel in the patient portal or contact support, at least 72 hours before the next billing date. You keep access through the end of the period you've paid for, and nothing already paid is refunded.
