Best for: Women in perimenopause or menopause who want GLP-1 care from clinicians focused on hormonal health, with a needle-free choice and anti-nausea medicine included at the start.
MatchScript's take: A clear, flat-priced GLP-1 option for women in menopause, with two needle-free routes and anti-nausea medicine included at the start.
The factor breakdown
Kina on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
The semaglutide injection is $199 a month after the first month, in the $176–200 band, so Budget Fit is 55; the tablet costs more at $279.
A five-minute intake, clinician review within 24 hours and no required video visit, but the states served are not published.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections, a dissolvable semaglutide tablet and tirzepatide drops, plus NAD+, glutathione and a copper peptide; no brand-name medication.
Named physicians, unlimited messaging, dose adjustments and free anti-nausea medicine for the first two months.
No long-term contract and cancel or pause from your account; shipped orders are non-refundable.
All four monthly prices, the clinical group and the pharmacy are published; the state list is not, and the terms still mention membership fees.

What we found on their site
Read on Kina's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The weight page spells out the standing prices: "Ongoing monthly price: Semaglutide Flex Dose $199/mo, Semaglutide ODT $279/mo, Tirzepatide Injectable $249/mo, Tirzepatide Sublingual $229/mo. Cancel anytime."
- The lower headline is a first-month offer: "Starting at $169 your first month. $30 off, applied automatically."
- On nausea, the FAQ says "anti-nausea medication (Zofran) is included free for your first two months."
- The terms name the pharmacy: "F&F Pharmacies Inc dba Jungle Jim's Pharmacy" in Fairfield, Ohio.
What we like
- Ongoing prices are published for all four options: semaglutide injection $199 a month, semaglutide tablet $279, tirzepatide injection $249 and tirzepatide drops $229
- The price stays the same at every dose, shipping is free, and there is no membership fee
- Two needle-free routes: a once-daily dissolvable semaglutide tablet and daily tirzepatide drops under the tongue
- Anti-nausea medicine (Zofran) is included free for the first two months, along with dose adjustments and unlimited messaging
- Care comes from a named clinical group, Arora Health & Aesthetics, led by Dr. Sean Arora, MD, and Dr. Shannon Arora, PharmD
The caveats
- The $169 headline is the first month only ($30 off); after that, semaglutide injections are $199 a month
- The states it serves are not listed; the site says availability varies by state and provider licensing
- Its terms still describe membership plans with non-refundable fees, which sits awkwardly beside the no-membership promise on every page
- Shipped medication orders are non-refundable under the terms
- Every option is compounded, and compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- The care model is built for women in menopause, so it is less of a fit for anyone outside that stage

Kina, answered
Is Kina legit?
Yes — Kina is LegitScript-certified, a third-party check that a telehealth pharmacy operates within the rules. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved; confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake.
How much does Kina cost?
Kina lists compounded semaglutide from $199/mo and tirzepatide from $249/mo — above our category median of $190/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review; confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Kina ship to my state?
Kina doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
Kina vs Gala Health — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Kina at 72/100 and Gala Health at 72/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Kina is the better fit for women in perimenopause or menopause who want GLP-1 care from clinicians focused on hormonal health, with a needle-free choice and anti-nausea medicine included at the start. Gala Health suits women who want nationwide compounded GLP-1 access with brand-name and hormone-therapy care under the same roof. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data come from Kina's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on Kina's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
Kina is a telehealth service built around menopause, and its weight program prescribes compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide through Arora Health & Aesthetics, a Seattle clinical group whose medical director and clinical lead are named. Month to month, a semaglutide injection is $199, a dissolvable semaglutide tablet $279, a tirzepatide injection $249 and tirzepatide drops $229; the price holds at every dose, shipping is free, and the first month is $30 less. Unlimited messaging, dose changes and two months of anti-nausea medicine are included, and you can cancel from your account. The trade-offs: the states served are not listed, shipped orders cannot be refunded, and the terms still mention membership fees despite the no-membership promise. Bottom line: a sensible, clearly priced choice for women in midlife who want hormone-aware care and a needle-free option.
