Line Kova up against its closest alternatives. Because Kova dispenses compounded medication, it’s worth understanding whether compounded semaglutide is legit and safe.
Factor breakdown
Each of the six graded dimensions. See the methodology.
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Bottom line — Grade C
Best for: People who want a GLP-1 plan bundled with a tracking app and will pay a premium for it.
Ranked #543 of 544 on this scorecard. See our top-scoring pick, CoreAge Rx (#1), for comparison.

Zealthy (legal entity FitRX, LLC, recently renamed to Gronk Inc.) offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via an asynchronous telehealth model.
