Medication options
Compounded liraglutide from a named 503A pharmacy partner is the headline route. Branded Zepbound is prescribed by Hone but purchased through LillyDirect via Gifthealth, so its price is Lilly's, not Hone's. Includes testosterone where indicated.
The FDA officially removed semaglutide from the drug-shortage list in February 2025, which narrowed the legal basis for routine 503A compounding of exact-copy semaglutide. Hone Health addresses this by using a personalized-formulation model (the compound includes an additional active ingredient like vitamin B12) which is legally distinct from the FDA-approved product. The active GLP-1 molecule is the same; the regulatory framing is different. Some state pharmacy boards have tightened oversight in 2025-2026. For the full background see our compounded vs FDA-approved breakdown.
FDA-approved branded
- Zepbound (via LillyDirect)
Compounded
- Compounded liraglutide
Other medications
- Testosterone
- Other off-label peptides
- Hone markets compounded peptides beyond GLP-1; the broader peptide-marketing landscape has higher 2025-2026 regulatory exposure than GLP-1 alone

Where it's compounded
| Pharmacy | Not publicly disclosed |
| Regulatory model | Not specified |
| Disclosure | Not publicly disclosed |
Hone Health does not publicly name the pharmacy that compounds its GLP-1 medications. This is a transparency gap, not a statement about medication safety. Questions worth asking any program: is the pharmacy a named 503A or 503B facility, is it US-licensed, does it carry independent accreditation (PCAB, NABP), and does it provide sterility and potency testing results on request?
Hone Health refers publicly to a 'network of partner pharmacies' without naming any.
