Eden publishes a flat, dose-independent price for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which makes it easy to compare — as long as you compare the all-in price, not just the advertised headline. Eden advertises compounded semaglutide from $99/month and tirzepatide from $199/month, but those are medication-only figures; an Eden Membership is required on top. This page lays out Eden’s real cost and how it compares to the PlexusDx Weight Management Protocol lineup. (Eden pricing verified at checkout, July 2026.)

Eden’s real GLP-1 cost, all-in

Eden’s advertised prices are medication only. An active Eden Membership is required to receive medication — $39 for the first month, then $99/month. That makes the ongoing all-in cost $198/month for compounded semaglutide ($99 medication + $99 membership) and $298/month for compounded tirzepatide ($199 + $99). Eden charges nothing until a provider approves the prescription, so month one is typically $138 for semaglutide ($99 + the $39 first-month membership) and $238 for tirzepatide. Eden bills monthly, dispenses injection only, keeps the same price as the dose increases (“Same Price at Every Dose,” which is genuinely useful for patients who titrate up), and offers a money-back guarantee: lose 10% of your body weight in six months or get your money back. Eden also lists brand-name Wegovy and other FDA-approved products at higher cash-pay rates on a separate line.

Eden vs PlexusDx: the annualized math

Compounded semaglutide is the apples-to-apples line. Eden’s all-in semaglutide runs about $2,316 in year one ($138 month one, then $198/mo including membership) and about $2,376 in a full ongoing year. PlexusDx Semaglutide Injection is $189/mo flat — $2,268/year, no membership — roughly $48–$108/year below Eden’s all-in semaglutide, a narrow but real difference. On compounded tirzepatide, Eden runs about $3,516 in year one ($238 month one, then $298/mo) and about $3,576 ongoing; PlexusDx Tirzepatide Injection at $289/mo flat is $3,468/year — narrowly below Eden at every point on the ladder. The PlexusDx Microdose GLP-1 Protocol at $129/mo flat ($1,548/year) is the lowest-cost path in this comparison, and GLP-Squared at $289/mo delivers a clinician-titrated semaglutide-plus-tirzepatide stack. PlexusDx pricing is flat by design: your dose may go up, your price won’t.

Formats Eden’s published pricing doesn’t cover

Eden’s published compounded pricing is injection-based. PlexusDx adds categories Eden’s treatment page does not list at any price: the Microdose GLP-1 Protocol in four needle-free formats (capsule, troche, lozenge, sublingual) at $129/mo flat, Semaglutide Oral at $289/mo, Tirzepatide Oral at $349/mo, and the GLP-Squared dual-compound stack at $289/mo. If a weekly injection is a barrier, those are re-titration paths inside one provider relationship.

Brand-name is a separate question

Eden’s brand-name line (Wegovy, and Ozempic/Mounjaro/Zepbound) is priced well above manufacturer self-pay programs such as LillyDirect and NovoCare. If you specifically want the FDA-approved branded finished drug, the manufacturer self-pay programs or covered insurance are usually the cheaper route — and PlexusDx is explicitly not that answer. PlexusDx dispenses compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only: pharmacy-prepared versions of the same active ingredients, made by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies, not FDA-approved finished drugs and not the same as Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro.

What genetics add

GLP-1 response varies across patients. Variants in GIPR (including rs1800437), GLP1R, FTO, MC4R, and TCF7L2 relate to different response patterns to semaglutide and tirzepatide. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test covers 49 genes and 58 variants across 14 health pathways, including weight-management insights and the GIPR rs1800437 variant. It is $298, or $99 for program members. These are pathway-level associations for context before titration — they do not predict your response to a specific medication or determine which one you should take. A genetic baseline is not part of the standard telehealth GLP-1 model. Genetics is a guide, not a guarantee.

Which is cheaper for you

Lowest monthly cost: PlexusDx Microdose GLP-1 Protocol at $129/mo flat. Compounded semaglutide injection: PlexusDx Semaglutide Injection at $189/mo (or $149/mo on the 6-month plan) is below Eden’s $198/mo all-in. Compounded tirzepatide injection: PlexusDx Tirzepatide Injection at $289/mo (or $249/mo on the 6-month plan) is below Eden’s $298/mo all-in. Want a money-back guarantee: Eden offers one. Want a genetic baseline before week one: PlexusDx is the only option here that includes it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Eden really cost per month?

Eden advertises compounded semaglutide from $99/month, but an Eden Membership is required ($39 first month, then $99/month), so the ongoing all-in cost is about $198/month. Compounded tirzepatide is advertised at $199/month, or about $298/month all-in. Nothing is charged until a provider approves.

Is PlexusDx cheaper than Eden?

On the ongoing all-in rate, yes for the like-for-like compounds: PlexusDx Semaglutide Injection is $189/mo (no membership) versus Eden’s $198/mo all-in, and PlexusDx Tirzepatide Injection is $289/mo versus Eden’s $298/mo. The Microdose GLP-1 Protocol at $129/mo flat is lower still. Eden offers a lower first month and a money-back guarantee.

Does Eden change the price as my dose increases?

No — Eden keeps the same medication price at every dose, and so does PlexusDx. Both hold price flat as the provider titrates the dose upward.

Does the genetic test tell me which GLP-1 to take?

No. The Precision Peptide Genetic Test analyzes pathway-level genetics only. It gives you and your provider context; it does not predict your response to a specific medication or determine which one you should take.
