Quick answer: Goby Meds charged me $299/month for compounded tirzepatide at 6 mg, or $274 with the GLP Winner code GLPWINNER. There is no video call at any point. I picked my pharmacy and my B-vitamin additive before paying. It took 8 days from payment to delivery, and 7 of those days were spent in pending.
This article is part of the GLP Winner provider review series. At the time of writing, the provider reviewed here, Goby Meds, is a GLP Winner partner, which means we have a commercial relationship with them. The review itself was written by a real patient who went through Goby Meds's full process, from intake through prescription, and who received their GLP-1 medication under a clinician's care.
Some details about the reviewer are not shared to protect their privacy. GLP Winner pays the reviewer for their time. Goby Meds did not pay for this review, did not see it before publication, and did not direct the reviewer's conclusions. We also review non-partner providers, including direct competitors of our partners, because the point of the series is to help you make a better decision for your own situation, not to push you toward any one company.

Who reviewed Goby Meds?
I am a man in my 30s who has been on compounded tirzepatide for 8 months and was at a 5 mg weekly dose when I signed up. I found Goby Meds while I was comparing providers on GLPWinner.com. This is a review of my experience with Goby Meds in my own words.
TL;DR
Goby Meds is a telehealth provider that sells compounded GLP-1s alongside anti-aging and hormone treatments. My compounded tirzepatide was $299/month for my 6 mg dose, the same price no matter which additive I picked (and at any dose), and the GLP Winner code GLPWINNER took $25 off, so my first payment was $274. That payment is actually a temporary authorization hold that only settles once a provider approves your treatment. When I signed up they had a 4.4 average rating across about 619 reviews as listed on GLP Winner.
The biggest things to know before you start: Goby Meds is fully text based, so there's no video call at any point, and the checkout is unusually transparent. Before you pay, you pick a "plan format" that tells you which pharmacy fills your prescription and which additive goes into your vial. You choose between vitamin B12, B3, or B6, all at the same price, and they use two pharmacies, Evoluciona and SevenCells. One thing to watch out for: the "metabolic health" treatment plan is actually sermorelin. It's in the plan option's description text if you read closely, but the plan names don't lead with the medication, and I clicked into it by mistake and only caught it when a sermorelin consent showed up halfway through the questions - more on the various treatment plans later.
My vial came from Evoluciona Pharma in Stafford, TX with one additive, cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12). They prescribed me a 6 mg dose. The order sat in pending for a week after I authorized the payment hold and went through prescription evaluation. It then shipped UPS Next Day Air in a styrofoam cooler and arrived cold at about 42 degrees with the ice packs still frozen. Support told me the pharmacy was running short on supply, and that was what caused the delay.

Turned around, it names the compounding pharmacy and the 28-day discard rule.
What is the Goby Meds intake and timeline like?
The Goby Meds form starts with your name, an email and password to make an account, and your state. Then it asks you to pick a treatment plan which directs you down different pathways: anti-aging, metabolic health, or weight loss. The pathways differ in the following ways:
- Anti-aging: Includes treatment with NAD+.
- Metabolic health: The treatment plan will include sermorelin, which you may or may not want.
- Weight loss: Focuses on treatment with compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide along with compounding additives like B12, B3, or B6.
I chose weight loss. After that, it wants your phone number, and it texts you a code to verify it before you can keep going. The health questions come next: height and weight for BMI, current medical conditions, current medications, and allergies. Then a multi-select list of goals like maintaining a healthy weight, improving metabolic health, cardio health, quality of life, mood, energy, and muscle tone. It had me rate my average cardiovascular health on a scale of one to five, asked me if I had been diagnosed with cancer or hypothyroidism, and asked about statin-related symptoms.
The weight loss track asks basic health screening questions too: pancreatic cancer, triglycerides, anorexia, gallbladder problems, and whether you're allergic to any of the GLP-1 medications. Then it gets into prior use: medications in the past four weeks, the date of your last weight loss medication dose, and whether you're on compounded or FDA-approved GLP-1s currently. It tells you to check your current vial label but doesn't make you upload it at this stage. It asked whether I'd had side effects and whether I wanted to continue at the same dose or go up or down. I requested the same dose I was already on, because I was happy with my current progress. It also asked my highest weight, then my shipping address.
Then you choose how to get started with a "choose a plan format" screen, but note that it includes both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide plan options: Single Month (most flexible, from $169/mo if you choose compounded semaglutide), Three Month (better savings, from $133/mo), or Step-Up with built-in titration (from $166/mo). Under the plan format, each medication card shows you exactly which pharmacy fills it and which additive is compounded in. For compounded tirzepatide, I had three options at the same $299/month: with B12 from Evoluciona, with B3 from SevenCells, or with B6 from Evoluciona. Every card showed my dose, 6 mg per week as a 4-week supply. Compounded semaglutide was on there too, and FDA-approved options were listed alongside them (Zepbound was $1,399/month). I went with the B12 additive option.
Three plan formats before any medication loads. Single Month is tagged "best price" even though Three Month is cheaper.
All three compounded tirzepatide options at $299, each one naming its pharmacy and its additive up front.
After that, you're eligible to move forward and pay. The order summary spells out what you're getting. Mine said Compounded Tirzepatide, 6 mg/week, 4-week supply, with little tags for Evoluciona and B12, and it explains that a provider will review your info and create a personalized treatment plan after you pay. There's one more free-text box for questions for the doctor and a long scroll-through GLP-1 consent. The GLPWINNER code took $25 off, and I paid $274 on a Thursday afternoon. The confirmation page notes the charge is a temporary authorization hold that only settles once a provider approves your treatment.
After paying it asked for a photo of my current vial label and a photo of my driver's license. The uploads only took a couple of minutes, though it made me redo the ID once. Later that day the portal showed they'd prescribed the 6 mg dose and it was under review.
How much does Goby Meds cost, and does the GLPWINNER code work?
My compounded tirzepatide came to $299/month at 6 mg, and that was the price for all three additive options. The code GLPWINNER took $25 off, so my first payment was $274. The plan formats advertise lower prices for compounded semaglutide and purchase periods: Single Month from $169/mo, Three Month from $133/mo, and Step-Up with built-in titration from $166/mo. Branded medication sits on the same screen, and Zepbound was $1,399/month when I signed up.
The part I hadn't seen elsewhere: the $274 posted as an authorization hold, not a completed charge. It only settles once a provider approves your treatment. There's also no auto-billing, no auto-shipping, and no membership fee on top, so you won't get charged again by default.
What stood out about Goby Meds?
- You pick your pharmacy and your additive before you pay. Each medication card shows the pharmacy and the B vitamin together: B12 from Evoluciona, B3 from SevenCells, B6 from Evoluciona, all $299/month at my dose. Most of the providers I've used didn't tell me the pharmacy until the box showed up.
- The approval queue is the slow part. The signup took one sitting, but the order sat in pending for a week before anything moved. Once the pharmacy released it, shipping was overnight.
How fast does Goby Meds ship?
This was the slowest part of my Goby Meds experience. I paid Thursday, July 9th, and my order sat in pending until it shipped on Thursday, July 16th, the day before it arrived. I reached out to support and they sent the message below, explaining they'd had a surge in orders and were seeing delays at the pharmacy.
My prescription arrived by UPS Next Day Air on July 17th, so about eight days from payment to my door. Once it actually shipped it moved fast. The wait was all on the approval and pharmacy side, and the status page just said pending the whole time.
The reply that finally explained it: an order surge at Evoluciona, and my order didn't reach the pharmacy until July 13.
The package was a styrofoam cooler with Nordic Ice gel packs inside, and it arrived cold at about 42 degrees Fahrenheit with the ice packs still frozen. On top there's a "Beyond Health, Thank you!" card from Evoluciona Pharma telling you to refrigerate the medication immediately upon delivery, confirming the delivery method is Next Day Air, and listing the pharmacy's phone, email, and hours for patient counseling. There was also a product information sheet for the tirzepatide with B12 compound covering what it's for, the contraindications (thyroid cancer history, B12 hypersensitivity, pregnancy/lactation), and possible side effects (nausea, vomiting, injection site reactions, headache, and rare pancreatitis).
Nothing on the outside says what's inside. Just a plain box and a TempAssured cooler.
Everything that came in the box, laid out. Product sheet, 10 syringes, alcohol pads, and the vial in bubble wrap.
The Goby Meds vial was a 2 mL amber multi-dose vial from Evoluciona Pharma, labeled Tirzepatide 5 mg/0.5 mL with cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) 1 mg/0.5 mL. The label says store refrigerated at 36-46°F (2-8°C), discard 28 days after first puncture, with a lot number and a beyond-use date (BUD) of 01/04/2027. The compounding and dispensing pharmacy was Evoluciona Pharma at 10402 Fountaingate Drive, Stafford, TX 77477. My correct name and information were on the package holding the vial.
The label up close: a January 2027 beyond-use date and the 36-46°F storage range.
Turned around, it names the compounding pharmacy and the 28-day discard rule.
What came in the box:
- 1 amber 2 mL multi-dose vial (compounded tirzepatide + vitamin B12)
- 10 insulin syringes
- Alcohol prep pads
- The Beyond Health thank-you card with storage instructions and the pharmacy's counseling contact info
- A product information sheet with the compound's ingredients, contraindications, and possible side effects
- Nordic Ice gel packs in a styrofoam cooler
Goby Meds sells more than GLP-1s. The anti-aging plan is NAD+, the metabolic health plan is sermorelin, and the portal mentions TRT and HRT too. After my order, the portal showed I'd earned $15 in loyalty credits that can be used on anything, but they're only active for two weeks, which felt more like a nudge to buy something fast than a real reward.
Life Hack: If you are on the fence about purchasing any of the extras, wait until just after your first purchase and then you'll have a handy coupon to use on the next order.
The credit email. It auto-applies, and the first part expires August 26.
What is Goby Meds support like?
The support chat in the Goby Meds portal starts with an AI agent. It can answer basic questions right away, but the moment you need a human it hands you off to the customer support team, warns that responses may take 24 hours or more, and tells you replies will come through email. It's not a live chat, and it even asks you not to send follow-up messages because that can slow your response down. I used it during the week my order sat pending to ask what was going on with my first order and they responded in about 24 hours.
Asking about my pending order. The AI passed me off with a 24-hour warning and a note not to follow up.
The rest of the communication was automated and clear: a confirmation email after payment, a temporary code to get into the portal, and messages from the medical team come through the Patient Portal, where they said they may have follow-up questions before approving a prescription. The portal is also where I watched my order status and where the loyalty credits showed up.
I tried to find where to cancel and I could not find it anywhere in the portal. The closest thing I found was deleting my payment method without adding another one. I did reach out to support and got the same AI message about waiting 24 hours and not to keep messaging, but they responded in minutes reminding me that there is no automatic reordering and no automatic charges, so there is nothing to cancel - a nice feeling in a world where you have to be careful about automatic renewals!
Support's answer on cancelling: no subscription exists, so there's nothing to cancel.
When I signed up, Goby Meds showed a 4.4 average rating across about 619 reviews on GLP Winner. The main knock I'd add from my own experience is the quiet week between paying and shipping. A status that just says pending for seven days with no updates isn't fun when there's refrigerated medication on the line.
My take
Who is Goby Meds good for?
Goby Meds worked for me as an experienced patient who wanted a fast, fully text-based signup with no video call. If you want to know exactly which pharmacy and which additive you're getting before you pay, this is the most transparent checkout I've been through. It's also on the cheaper end of what I've seen at $299/month for my dose, and $274 with the GLP Winner code. If you want the process handled cleanly online, Goby Meds is a good fit.
Who is Goby Meds a bad fit for?
If you want to talk to a human immediately for support, Goby Meds might not be the best fit, although my second interaction with support was much faster than the first. There's no video visit either, so if face-to-face contact matters to you, look elsewhere. If you're in a hurry, know that my order sat in pending for a week before shipping. I only have one order to judge from, so I can't say whether that week is typical or was specific to the pharmacy backlog they described.

Frequently asked questions
Is Goby Meds legit?
Goby Meds runs a real telehealth flow: a detailed medical intake, ID and current-vial verification after payment, a prescription reviewed by a medical team, and medication compounded by a named pharmacy, Evoluciona Pharma in Stafford, TX. When I signed up they showed a 4.4 average rating across about 619 reviews on GLP Winner. A licensed pharmacy is not the same thing as FDA approval of the compounded medication, so treat those as two separate questions.
How much does Goby Meds cost?
My compounded tirzepatide at Goby Meds was $299/month at 6 mg, the same price for all three additive options and doses, though you get a price break if you purchase many months at a time. The plan formats show lower prices for compounded semaglutide across all doses doses if you purchase in bulk: Single Month from $169/mo, Three Month from $133/mo, and a Step-Up plan with built-in titration from $166/mo. The GLPWINNER code took $25 off, so my first payment was $274, charged as an authorization hold that only settles once a provider approves you.
Is the Goby Meds signup fast?
Yes. The whole thing is text-based and I finished it in one sitting, including the detour into the wrong treatment plan. The slow part comes after: my order sat in pending for a week before it shipped.
How fast does Goby Meds ship?
About eight days for me, start to finish. I paid Thursday 7/9, the order stayed pending until 7/16, and it arrived 7/17 by UPS Next Day Air. The shipping itself is overnight, and the wait sits in the approval and pharmacy queue.
Does Goby Meds require a video consultation?
No. Goby Meds is fully async. You never meet or see a clinician. The medical team reviews your intake and prescribes behind the scenes.
What medical questions does the Goby Meds intake ask?
The intake covered pregnancy, BMI, conditions, medications, allergies, cancer and hypothyroidism screening, and cardiovascular health. The weight loss track added pancreatic cancer, triglycerides, anorexia, gallbladder problems, and GLP-1 allergies. It asked for my last dose date, my current strength and pharmacy, and after payment it required photos of my current vial label and my driver's license.
Does Goby Meds medication arrive cold?
Mine did. It shipped UPS Next Day Air in a styrofoam cooler with Nordic Ice gel packs and arrived at about 42 degrees with the ice packs still frozen, inside the 36-46°F range printed on the label. The week the order spent in pending happened before the vial ever left the pharmacy, so it did not sit in transit.
Which pharmacy does Goby Meds use, and is it licensed in my state?
You find out before you pay. The plan format screen shows the pharmacy for each option, either Evoluciona or SevenCells. Mine was compounded and dispensed by Evoluciona Pharma at 10402 Fountaingate Drive, Stafford, TX 77477. I checked my state board's license lookup and found it listed, and that's the check I'd suggest running for whichever pharmacy you're offered.
How long is the Goby Meds beyond-use date?
Plenty of runway for a monthly order. My vial arrived 7/17/26 with a beyond-use date of 01/04/2027, so about six months out, with the usual 28-day discard after first puncture.
Can you reach a Goby Meds clinician?
Everything ran through the portal for me. The medical team messages you there and may have follow-up questions before approving your prescription. The support chat is AI-first, and getting to a human means waiting on an email that can take 24 hours or more. My first interaction took 24 hours for a response and my second took only minutes.
Does Goby Meds require lab work?
No labs were required or mentioned anywhere in my signup.
How do you cancel Goby Meds?
There's no subscription to cancel. Support confirmed there's no automatic reordering and no recurring charge, so you go in and order your next month when you're ready. There's also no cancel button anywhere in the portal, which threw me at first. One thing in your favor: your first payment is an authorization hold that only settles once a provider approves your treatment, so you're not immediately out the money the way you are with some providers.
What's in the Goby Meds vial?
Mine was compounded tirzepatide 5 mg/0.5 mL with cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) 1 mg/0.5 mL in a 2 mL amber multi-dose vial. You pick the additive at checkout, B12, B3, or B6, all at the same price. B12 compounds have that dark red look in the vial.
Is Goby Meds good for beginners?
It depends on the beginner. The pricing and the pharmacy are spelled out clearly, which helps a lot. The plan names did trip me up, since "metabolic health" is sermorelin and nothing in the name says so, and that's an easier mistake to make if this is your first time. If you want to talk to anyone face to face, this isn't it, but otherwise I'd call it beginner friendly.
Can you get branded medication through Goby Meds?
Yes, branded options show up on the same plan screen as compounded. Zepbound was $1,399 when I signed up.
What are Goby Meds loyalty credits?
After my order, the portal showed $15 in loyalty credits I could spend on anything they sell, including sermorelin, TRT, and HRT. The catch is they're only active for two weeks, and since there's no automatic monthly refill, they expire well before most people would come back to order again.
