Luna Fit
Best for: Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program.
Visit Sesame CareThe verdict for women
Sesame Care edges out Elara Health and Wellness on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 84 (B vs B). Shoppers who want genuine FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s and the ability to pick their own provider and see the price up front, rather than one fixed compounded program. The reasoning behind that number is in the Sesame Care scorecard.
Elara Health and Wellness is still a genuine option — low pricing on both molecules nationwide — attractive on cost, though the lack of LegitScript accreditation makes the oversight signal thinner.

Luna Fit
Elara Health and Wellness
Ranked #36 · Grade B
What we like
- Low disclosed pricing — $117 semaglutide, $196 tirzepatide
- Nationwide across all 50 states with both molecules
- Low-cost tirzepatide for insulin-resistant PCOS
The caveats
- Not LegitScript-accredited — a weaker third-party oversight signal

Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #4 · Grade B
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand-name access — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- Established platform (operating since 2018) with LegitScript, BBB accreditation and large third-party review volume
- You choose the provider and see the price up front — genuine marketplace transparency
The caveats
- A generalist marketplace, not a dedicated weight-loss program — lighter ongoing hand-holding than a specialist desk
- Two-part cost (a platform subscription plus the medication) makes the true monthly total harder to compare
- Brand-name cash prices can run high without insurance
