ElixaMD vs Gala Health
The verdict
Gala Health takes it — 82.9/100 to 63.5/100.
Gala Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide program for women that reaches all 50 states and keeps a brand-name Ozempic path open — but its $179 and $149 headline rates are yearly-subscription prices, not monthly ones.

Graded #257 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
- Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
- Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
Where it loses points
- $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
Graded #17 · B−
Strengths
- Low compounded entry if you prepay the year — $179/mo tirzepatide and $149/mo microdose on the yearly subscription, $199/mo on a 3-month plan
- Prices are published openly rather than quiz-gated, with all doses included at the one rate
- All 50 states and LegitScript-verified, with a brand-name Ozempic path kept open ($1,299)
- HRT and menopause care available alongside GLP-1
Where it loses points
- No month-to-month price is published anywhere — the $179 tirzepatide and $149 microdose rates are both yearly subscriptions, and the shortest term Gala names is a 3-month plan at $199/mo
- Compounded formulations are not FDA-approved
- Brand-name Ozempic is priced steeply at $1,299
- No oral or sublingual route offered yet — injection only
- Newer operator (Gala GLP-1 by AI Coaching Inc) with no named clinicians and no named dispensing pharmacy
