Visit MadeMedThe verdict for women
MadeMed edges out Embody on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 81 (B vs B−). Women who expect to titrate and want to know today what month six costs, and who want an oral route available without switching provider. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing MadeMed.
Embody is still a genuine option — the cheapest month-to-month price on the board by a wide margin, from a program that names all four of its compounding pharmacies — with the catch that the price is a running promotion against a list rate nearly four times higher. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; the Embody scorecard goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the Embody alternatives, scored on the same six factors widens the field.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Luna Fit
Embody
Ranked #45 · Grade B−
What we like
- $79/mo semaglutide and $129/mo tirzepatide with no commitment — the lowest month-to-month figures on this board
- Names all four partner pharmacies (RedRock, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx) rather than referring vaguely to 'a licensed pharmacy'
- LegitScript certified
The caveats
- The price is a named promotion against a $299 list rate, and Embody was quoting $69 on a separate landing page at the same time — treat it as a rate that can move
- Not available in Louisiana, and the main site does not state coverage at all
- Copy says 'flat at every dose' in one place and 'starting at $79' in another, with no published dose table to settle it
Luna Fit
MadeMed
Ranked #7 · Grade B
What we like
- One price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide $239/mo from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide $399/mo from 2.5mg to 15mg
- LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
- Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide are both offered alongside the injections
The caveats
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
- 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before you start
- Tirzepatide is among the pricier entries on this board at $399/mo quarterly
