Ranked #7 for women · Grade B
Luna Fit

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 MadeMed 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.
MadeMed is still a genuine option — a LegitScript-verified compounded program that charges one flat price at every dose — so titrating up to a working dose never quietly raises the bill. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing MadeMed goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of MadeMed widens the field.

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 in this ranking at $399/mo quarterly
Luna Fit
Sesame Care
Ranked #5 · 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
