Pricing in context
How Zera Health's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $199/mo, plus a $129/mo microdose option
- Flat pricing — the same monthly cost at every dose as you titrate up
- All-inclusive: medication, unlimited 24/7 provider messaging, and free shipping bundled in
- Names its compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy (licensed 503A)
- Available in all 50 states with same-day approvals
The caveats
- Operates as a technology platform, not the medical provider itself
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this honestly)
- Aggressive marketing results claims (e.g. '18% average', '93% kept it off') with 'results not typical' disclaimers
- Legal entity name not published (footer shows only 'Zera Health')

Zera Health, answered
Is Zera Health legit?
Zera Health is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program, but we don't find it on the LegitScript registry, so it carries less third-party verification than the certified providers on our board. It dispenses compounded medication, which isn't FDA-approved. Vet the prescriber and pharmacy before you commit.
How much does Zera Health cost?
Zera Health lists compounded semaglutide from $149/mo (compounded) and tirzepatide from $199/mo (compounded) — below our category median of $179/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (June 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Zera Health ship to my state?
Yes — Zera Health reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.
Zera Health vs CoreAge Rx — which is better?
Both are on our board. Zera Health scores 79/100; CoreAge Rx leads our default ranking at 91/100 for its flat nationwide pricing on both molecules and easy cancellation. Zera Health can still win for you if its strengths match your priorities — best for: People who want budget GLP-1 shoppers who want flat all-dose pricing and a named 503A pharmacy.
