Compounded tirzepatide
Balanced Hormone Health review
Balanced Hormone Health sells compounded tirzepatide by the vial rather than by the month. Its 60 mg starter package costs $499, which the site says lasts roughly 12 weeks, or about $181 a month. The practitioner visit, syringes and cold-packed shipping come with it, and nothing renews unless you reorder.

Who it suits
Good fit if
- You'd rather buy one vial at a time than sign up for a subscription that bills itself.
- You're switching from another program and want to start at the dose you're on now.
- You like the idea of knowing which pharmacy compounds your tirzepatide before you pay.
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside the 28 states Balanced Hormone Health serves, which leave out California, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
- You want a fixed monthly bill, since how long a vial lasts depends on your weekly dose.
What you get
Pricing is set by the total milligrams in a vial. The starter is 60 mg of tirzepatide with B6 for $499, estimated at about a 12-week supply. A 75 mg vial compounded with glycine costs a little more and carries a best-used-by date of up to five or six months.
Established patients taking 6 mg or more a week can refill with a 120 mg vial, which brings the price per milligram down. Plain tirzepatide and versions with B3 or B12 are listed too. A refill costs the same per vial as your first order.
The price covers a virtual visit with a practitioner, syringes, alcohol prep pads, online support and shipping. Balanced Hormone Health names two partner pharmacies, Tailormade Compounding in Kentucky and Hallandale Pharmacy in Florida. No lab work is required for the weight-loss program.
How it works
- Book the free consult or complete the new-client intake forms on the Forms page.
- Within 24 hours on a weekday, the team texts you with the next step.
- Meet a licensed practitioner by video, using a secure link sent to your phone before the appointment.
- Choose a vial package. The pharmacy compounds it and ships it with cold packs, usually 4 to 10 days after you order.
- Reorder when you're running low. Nothing ships again until you do.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Balanced Hormone Health has no membership, contract or subscription, so every order is one you place yourself.
- Both partner pharmacies, Tailormade Compounding and Hallandale Pharmacy, are named on the FAQ page.
- You can pay with HSA, FSA, AfterPay, Klarna or CareCredit as well as a card.
Cons
- The 12-week estimate assumes a low starting dose, so a 60 mg vial runs out sooner as you move up.
- Service covers 28 states, so shoppers in California, Georgia or Pennsylvania can't order.
- The $144 headline comes from per-milligram pricing; the smallest package you can buy costs $499.
Check before you pay
- How long your vial will last
- Balanced Hormone Health says supply length depends on your dose. Ask the team to work out how many weeks a package covers at the dose you'll be taking.
- Which package you need
- The 120 mg refill is only for established patients on 6 mg or more a week. New patients start with the 60 mg or 75 mg vial.
- Your state
- The FAQ lists 28 states, from Arizona to Wisconsin. Check yours before booking, because availability can also depend on the pharmacy.

Balanced Hormone Health questions
- Is Balanced Hormone Health legit?
- Balanced Hormone Health is a family-owned telehealth practice based in Iowa that also treats hormone patients. It names its compounding pharmacies and says it is LegitScript certified. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved.
- How much is Balanced Hormone Health tirzepatide per month?
- It isn't sold monthly. The 60 mg starter vial costs $499 and is expected to last about 12 weeks, close to $181 a month. Higher doses use it up faster.
- Does Balanced Hormone Health take insurance?
- No. It's private pay only, but it can give you a receipt for an HSA or HRA account.
- Is Balanced Hormone Health a subscription?
- No. There's no membership fee, contract or automatic refill. You buy a vial when you need one.
