How we scored Science & Co
Every factor comes from Science & Co's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 54/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Cancellation is workable but not frictionless.

$149 and $199 month to month, or $79 and $125 on twelve-month plans — and the site says which is which in its own copy. Flat at every dose, all fifty states in the terms. Its hormone line is testosterone and enclomiphene rather than a PCOS pathway, and brand is still coming soon.

| Compounded semaglutide | $79 | Injection, 12-month plan⛔ THIS IS THE HEADLINE "$79", and the site says so itself: "Plans start at $79 a month on the 12 month plan." A year of commitment, not a monthly rate. |

Many HSA and FSA plans cover GLP-1 telehealth — check yours. These figures are what Science & Co's own site disclosed at last review; this market re-prices often, so confirm the current number at the source.
What we like
- Publishes the month-to-month price and the long-plan price together, with the saving shown
- Says in its own copy that the low figure is the twelve-month plan
- Flat pricing at every dose, no monthly membership and free shipping
- All fifty states and Washington, D.C., written into the terms
- Says every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency
- HSA and FSA eligible
The caveats
- The advertised figures are twelve-month plan rates, not monthly ones
- Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic each have a page and all three say coming soon
- The microdose, the gentlest way in, is also still coming soon
- Its hormone line is testosterone and enclomiphene — not a PCOS pathway
- Nothing about nursing or postpartum timing
- Does not name the pharmacy that compounds the medication
Science & Co for mothers: our verdict
One of the few that shows you both prices at once and says which is which: $149 a month with no commitment, $79 on a twelve-month plan, with the saving printed alongside. It runs about $149/month, flat across every dose — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh Science & Co the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What Science & Co costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, month to month: $149/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month plan: $79/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, month to month: $199/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, 12-month plan: $125/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for mothers — a real cost advantage.
Science & Co says the price covers the provider visit, the medication, shipping and coaching. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications Science & Co prescribes
Science & Co prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where Science & Co fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- the monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
- uninterrupted nationwide access matters — a move for family shouldn't interrupt care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Everything Science & Co states publicly checked out at last review: pricing, pharmacies and clinical network were all verifiable. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
Science & Co is a genuine value play — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mom already confident she will stay the course for a year, who wants the discounted rate with the commitment spelled out rather than buried.
Alternatives to Science & Co
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here. These are not the whole roster: see the full ranking for every provider we cover, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Science & Co, answered
- Is it $79 or $149?
- Both, depending on how far you commit — and they explain it rather than hiding it. The $79 is the twelve-month plan and the $149 is month to month, shown together with the percentage saved. Showing both is the right way to do it; just remember that $79 a month is twelve months of decision, not one.
- Does the price go up with my dose?
- No. 'Same price, any dose' applies from your starting dose to your highest, on both molecules. That matters because almost everyone titrates up in the first few months, which is exactly when you least want a surprise on the bill.
- Can I get Wegovy or Ozempic here?
- Not yet. The Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic pages all exist and all three say coming soon. What is sold today is pharmacy-compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which are not FDA-approved as finished products and are not the same as the brand-name medications.
- Is there anything for PCOS?
- Not really. It runs a hormone line — testosterone and enclomiphene — but that is not a PCOS pathway, and there is nothing about nursing or how long to wait after a delivery. The strengths here are price clarity and coverage, not hormonal fit.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Science & Co's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
