The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: Sesame Care

Sesame Care edges out Henry Meds on the Luna Fit Score, 85 to 83 (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.

Henry Meds is still a genuine option — a flat-fee compounded pioneer — a simple, well-known model, but priced at the higher end now with no hormone-specific angle. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; our Henry Meds write-up for women goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Henry Meds widens the field.

Henry Meds

Ranked #39 · Grade B

What we like

  • Simple flat-fee model with both molecules
  • Well-established, widely recognized brand
  • Clear, predictable billing

The caveats

  • Higher pricing than many newer entrants
  • Compounded only, no hormone-specific framing

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
