Eden

Semaglutide · Injection
An identified pharmacy and broad longevity menu, with conflicting GLP-1 membership disclosures and first-month-only prices for several treatments.
- Identifies Contigo Compounding as its acquired Eden Pharmacy; a current Texas record is linked below
- Its longevity pages separate the required membership from the medication price
- A wide longevity menu: NAD+ as an injection, nasal spray or cream, sermorelin as a shot or tablet, plus GHK-Cu foam
- Lets you review product forms and membership disclosures before beginning the intake
- Longevity medication prices exclude membership; GLP-1 pages and membership terms disagree
- NAD+ shots and spray, sermorelin and glutathione print only a first-month price; ask what month two costs
- Product pages and the terms describe the weight-loss guarantee differently (15% in six months vs 10% at 26 weeks)
- Membership fees can't be refunded once a billing cycle starts, and shipped orders are generally non-refundable
Pick it for: Explore Eden if you want to compare a flat GLP-1 program, and keep its peptide membership offers separate when you calculate the bill.
Not for: You want sermorelin, NAD+ injections or glutathione with an ongoing monthly price printed before you start, or you'd rather not pay a separate membership for longevity products.

Semaglutide · Injection
GLP-1 programs with published all-in prices and a named pharmacy. Read the full review for state-availability and regulatory questions.
- Public help articles explain the care process, shipping and refill process
- GLP-1 prices are printed all-in, covering the physician review, supplies and fast shipping
- No membership fee, and HSA or FSA cards are accepted
- Current product pages describe NAD+, glutathione and sermorelin; request their exact plan terms
- Lists BPC-157, which is not FDA-approved and not on the list of ingredients pharmacies may compound
- FDA sent the company a warning letter over claims that its compounded GLP-1s match brand drugs
- The current public knowledge base does not identify your assigned dispensing pharmacy
- Public price and refill documents disagree; request the exact payment and billing dates
Pick it for: Explore DirectMeds if you are checking an all-in GLP-1 quote; verify the current state list and read the regulatory context in the provider review.
Not for: You'd rather use a provider that doesn't list BPC-157 or carry an FDA warning letter. The current public state list excludes Mississippi and Louisiana; confirm any additional product restrictions.
Our verdict
The retained reviews describe named pharmacies and flat GLP-1 prices at Eden, and a named pharmacy with all-in GLP-1 pricing at DirectMeds. Eden’s peptide membership and first-month offers should not be confused with its GLP-1 terms. DirectMeds’ conflicting state lists and the warning-letter discussion are specific questions to resolve before enrollment. Confirm availability directly and discuss the prescription with a clinician.
Before you pick one
They don’t serve the same states, and for some readers that settles it. Eden serves 3 states that DirectMeds does not — AL, LA, MS. Look up your own state before anything else here.
It isn’t clear that both publish a milligram dose, so treat the two prices as not yet comparable and ask each what dose the monthly price buys. Then set those answers beside every graded provider’s price and remember that a lower price for a smaller dose is not the cheaper plan.
