Science & Co review
One of the few programs that shows both prices at once and says which is which: $149 a month with no commitment, $79 on a twelve-month plan, with the saving printed alongside.

How we scored Science & Co
Each score comes out of Science & Co's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 73/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Cancellation is workable but not frictionless.

$149 and $199 month to month, or $79 and $125 on twelve-month plans — and the site says which is which in its own copy, which is most of what separates honest discounting from a teaser. Flat at every dose, all fifty states in the terms. Brand is listed but all three pages say coming soon.

| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $149 | Injection, month to monthThe no-commitment rate — the figure struck through beside the headline. |
| Compounded semaglutide | $79 | Injection, 12-month plan⛔ THIS IS THE HEADLINE "$79", and the site says so itself: "Plans start at $79 a month on the 12 month plan." It is a year of commitment, not a monthly rate. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $199 | Injection, month to monthThe no-commitment rate. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $125 | Injection, 12-month plan⛔ The headline "$125", also across twelve months. |

GLP-1 telehealth is usually HSA- and FSA-eligible, so check your own plan. Everything above comes from Science & Co's public disclosures at last review and change often; confirm the current number on Science & Co's own site.
What we like
- Publishes the month-to-month price and the long-plan price together, with the saving shown
- States in its own copy that the low figure is the twelve-month plan
- Flat pricing at every dose, no monthly membership and free shipping
- All fifty states and Washington, D.C., written into the terms
- Says every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency
- HSA and FSA eligible
The caveats
- The advertised figures are twelve-month plan rates, not monthly ones
- Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic each have a page and all three say coming soon
- The microdose, the gentlest way in, is also still coming soon
- Does not name the pharmacy that compounds the medication
- Nothing addresses pregnancy, breastfeeding or postpartum timing
Science & Co for mothers: our verdict
One of the few programs that shows both prices at once and says which is which: $149 a month with no commitment, $79 on a twelve-month plan, with the saving printed alongside. It runs about $149/month, flat across every dose — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh Science & Co the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What Science & Co actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, month to month: $149/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month plan: $79/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, 12-month plan: $125/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for mothers — a real cost advantage.
The medications Science & Co prescribes
Science & Co prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the pair with the strongest evidence behind them, and having both under one account matters when insulin resistance, familiar from PCOS and gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better fit. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where Science & Co fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- the real monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Give it a miss if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence in Science & Co's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this masthead: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
Science & Co is a genuine value play — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A household already confident it will stay the course for a year, and that wants the discounted rate with the commitment spelled out rather than buried.
Alternatives to Science & Co
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Editors' Rating — highest first. A fee never moves a rating, but it does decide who appears here, so this is not the whole roster: the full ranking lists every provider we cover.
- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Science & Co, answered
- Is it $79 or $149?
- Both, depending on the commitment — and the site explains it rather than hiding it. The $79 is the twelve-month plan and the $149 is month to month, shown together with the percentage saved. Presenting both is the right way to do it; the only thing to remember is that $79 a month is twelve months of decision.
- Does the price climb with the dose?
- No. 'Same price, any dose' applies from the starting dose to the highest on both molecules. That matters because almost everyone titrates upward in the first few months, which is precisely when a household least wants an unexpected increase in the charge.
- Can Wegovy or Ozempic be obtained here?
- Not yet. The Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic pages all exist and all three are marked coming soon. What is sold today is pharmacy-compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are not FDA-approved as finished products and are not equivalent to the brand-name medications.
- Who compounds the medication?
- Science & Co does not name the pharmacy. It says a state-licensed US compounding pharmacy prepares each prescription and that every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency, but there is no pharmacy name to look up — a gap worth noting against programs that do publish one.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Science & Co's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
