What Peptide Therapy Costs: Real Prices, Including the Fees Nobody Mentions
A single peptide vial on this site is between $179 and $199. A blend is $229. Compounded semaglutide is $349 and tirzepatide is $379. Every one of those numbers is the medication only, and there are two more charges on top that most sites do not put in front of you until checkout.
So here is the whole thing with the fees included.
What the medication itself costs
Prices group into bands rather than sitting at random. Roughly:
- $59 to $129. The supporting items rather than the therapy: anti-nausea tablets, topical NAD+ cream, lipotropic B12, glutathione.
- $179 to $199. Most single peptides. BPC-157, tesamorelin, sermorelin, NAD+, PT-141, MOTS-c, GHK-Cu, gonadorelin, AOD-9604 all sit here.
- $229. The blends, where two or more actives are compounded into one vial. BPC-157 with TB-500 is the most common one, and there are several other multi-peptide blends at the same price.
- $240 to $329. Prefilled pen devices and the more expensive single actives such as SS-31.
- $349 to $379. The GLP-1s. Semaglutide $349, tirzepatide $379, each as one flat price rather than a price per milligram.
That last point is worth pausing on, because it is unusual. Most GLP-1 sellers price by dose, so your cost goes up every time your physician titrates you upward. Ours does not. The dose is a clinical decision your prescriber makes, and charging you more for needing more of the medication puts a price on that decision.
The two fees, and why they are not hidden in the price
Two charges apply to an order:
- $35 for the physician review. A licensed physician reads your intake and decides whether to write the prescription. That fee pays for the review, not for a yes. It is charged either way, because the work happens either way.
- $35 for shipping. These are cold-chain medications from a compounding pharmacy, not an envelope.
Both are per order, not per item. Two peptides ordered together carry one $35 review and one $35 shipping charge between them. Ordered two weeks apart, they carry two of each, so splitting the order costs you an extra $70.
What you actually pay
Adding it up, for one item in an order:
- A single peptide at $199 comes to $269.
- A blend at $229 comes to $299.
- Semaglutide comes to $419.
- Tirzepatide comes to $449.
Add a second $199 peptide to any of those orders and it adds $199, not $269.
Why compounded costs what it costs
Compounded medications are prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy for an individual patient against a prescription. They are not FDA approved, which is a real distinction rather than a technicality: the FDA does not review a compounded preparation for safety, effectiveness or quality before it is dispensed, the way it does a branded product before it is marketed. A compounded preparation is not a generic or an equivalent of a branded drug, and should not be treated as one.
What that changes about price is the supply chain. There is no brand, no patent premium and no pharmacy benefit manager in the middle taking a margin, so the number you see is much closer to the actual cost of making and shipping the medication. It also means the price does not depend on your insurance, because insurance is not involved at any point.
What is not in the price
What the price does not cover:
- Nothing here is billed to insurance. No plan, no deductible, no prior authorization, and no reimbursement either.
- Syringes and alcohol swabs are supplied with injectable orders, but sharps disposal is yours to arrange.
- Bloodwork is not included. If your physician wants labs before or during treatment, that is arranged and paid for separately.
- A denial is not a refund of the review fee. If the physician declines, the medication and shipping are refunded and the $35 review is not, because the review is the thing that happened.
How to spend less without cutting corners
Three things reduce what you pay, and none of them involve buying from somewhere unlicensed:
- Order together. The fees are per order. This is the biggest single lever and it costs you nothing.
- Look at whether a blend replaces two vials. A BPC-157 and TB-500 blend at $229 is one vial and one price where the two separately are two of each.
- Do not buy ahead of what your prescriber has agreed. Peptides have a shelf life once reconstituted, and buying a year of anything you may titrate off is the most common way people waste money here.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I pay $35 even if I am declined?
Because a physician read your file and made a clinical judgement, which is the service. The fee covers the review regardless of what the physician decides. The medication and shipping are refunded in full.
Is compounded semaglutide the same as Ozempic or Wegovy?
No. Those are FDA-approved branded products from a single manufacturer. A compounded preparation is made by a licensed pharmacy for an individual patient and is not FDA approved. Our semaglutide guide goes through the published research on the molecule, with citations.
Does the price go up as my dose goes up?
Not on semaglutide or tirzepatide. Both are one flat price regardless of where your physician titrates you.
Is there a subscription, and am I locked in?
Orders are one-off unless you choose otherwise. Nothing renews behind your back.
Which is cheaper, semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Semaglutide, by $30 a vial. Which one is appropriate is a clinical question rather than a budget one, and our side-by-side comparison sets out the published trial data on both so you can take it to your prescriber.
How long does a vial last?
It depends on the peptide and the dose your physician sets, so the honest answer is that your prescriber tells you at the point they write it. Ask before you order if you are budgeting.
