Save ~70% vs brand self-payThe verdict
Eden takes it on Value Score, 91 to 90 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Mint Med isn't out of it: People who want a low, genuinely flat semaglutide rate and would rather not work out what a membership adds on top of it.

Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Eden
Eden sells compounded semaglutide for $99 a month and tirzepatide for $129, all-inclusive and the same at every dose, filled by its own pharmacy or vetted partners.
Why it's a deal
- Names its medical team rather than referring to anonymous providers - Dr. Halland Chen, Dr. Rebecca Emch, Dr. Matthew Bennett and Dr. William Lee are listed with their affiliations
- Available in all 50 states, with both molecules and no teaser tier - the rate does not step up as you titrate
- States plainly on its own site that compounded medication is not approved by the FDA and has not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
- Free expedited shipping on all orders, 24/7 provider messaging, no insurance required and HSA/FSA eligible
The fine print
- Eden's same-price-at-every-dose promise excludes new-member discounts and some plans, so confirm the monthly figure on your checkout screen before you pay
- Eden's custom weight-loss kits are a different product that needs a separate membership ($39 the first month, then $99 a month); the GLP-1 plans do not carry that fee
- FDA issued a warning letter to Eden Health International Inc. dba Eden, dated June 2026. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Eden is compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound
- Eden fills prescriptions through its own Eden Pharmacy or unnamed partner pharmacies, so you may not know in advance which one ships your order
Mint Med
One price at every semaglutide dose, $106 a month, with the seller stating plainly that there are no membership fees - which is rarer than it should be at this end of the market.
Why it's a deal
- Semaglutide is $106 at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- States in its own banner that there are no membership fees
- Prices are confirmed in the store's own catalog, not just the marketing page
- HSA and FSA eligible, with a phone number published for support
The fine print
- Tirzepatide is sold as two separate products at $145 and $179, so which one applies depends on the dose you are prescribed
- FDA issued a warning letter to Glow Medispa, LLC dba Mint Med, dated June 2026. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Sells NAD+, sermorelin and sexual-wellness lines beside the GLP-1s
- Compounded only, with no brand-name option
- No oral or sublingual route
