Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route

Why it's a deal
- Publicly lists $199/mo compounded semaglutide and $249/mo compounded tirzepatide
- Brand-name options too — Wegovy injection and pill, Zepbound, Foundayo from $149/mo entry pricing
- LegitScript verified
- Clearly identifies itself as the intake platform and a licensed third-party pharmacy as the dispenser
- Broad longevity menu (Sermorelin, NAD+, Glutathione) plus TRT, hair, skin, and sexual health
The fine print
- Legal entity name and state of incorporation not publicly disclosed
- The third-party pharmacy partner isn't named, and Kin Meds isn't itself a licensed pharmacy
- Per-state availability not listed
- $149/mo brand pricing is the insured entry tier — cash-pay patients should expect higher real costs
- Lab work and dose-titration support not clearly described
