Compounded tirzepatide
Vita Bella review
Vita Bella's tirzepatide with B-6 starts at $159 a month, but only members get that price. Add the required monthly membership and a starting month comes to $288, plus a one-time consult fee. The membership carries a three-payment minimum, so plan on at least three months.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want more than a prescription: quarterly provider check-ins, lab access and other treatments under one membership.
- Nausea worries you. Vita Bella adds B-6 to the vial and prescribes ondansetron at no extra charge.
- You already use Vita Bella for hormone or other therapies and would add weight loss to the same membership.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to try one month and stop. The first three membership payments are a commitment.
- You'd like a refund to be possible, since Vita Bella's terms rule them out.
What you get
The drug is compounded tirzepatide with B-6 (pyridoxine), a weekly injection that starts at 2.5 mg. Vita Bella's terms say listed prices are based on the starting dose, so higher doses cost more. Supplies are free, and ondansetron for nausea is included.
The membership covers provider access, members-only medication pricing and discounted labs through Quest Diagnostics. A one-time 45-minute consult with a licensed provider comes first. Orders ship from partner pharmacies, and each order carries a shipping charge the membership doesn't include.
How it works
- Answer a few questions and create an account, which starts the monthly membership.
- Run labs through Quest Diagnostics, or upload results from the last six months.
- Meet a licensed provider in a virtual 45-minute consult. Tirzepatide is prescribed only with provider approval.
- Prescriptions go to a partner pharmacy. The membership page puts the average arrival at 48 to 72 hours.
- Your provider checks in every quarter to review progress and adjust the plan.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Vita Bella prescribes ondansetron for nausea at no additional charge alongside tirzepatide.
- Injection supplies are free with every Vita Bella tirzepatide order.
- Quarterly check-ins with a Vita Bella provider are part of the membership.
Cons
- Vita Bella's terms require 3 consecutive membership payments before you can leave.
- At Vita Bella, a one-time consult fee and per-order shipping come on top of membership and medication.
- Vita Bella's terms state a strict no-refund policy, medications included.
Check before you pay
- The three-month minimum
- The first three membership payments are owed whether or not you use treatment. After that, billing rolls to month to month, and canceling ends the account at the end of that month.
- How to cancel
- Submit the Cancellation Request Form in the patient portal. Do it at least 24 hours before renewal to avoid the next charge.
- Filling elsewhere
- Vita Bella sends prescriptions to its preferred pharmacies. Moving one to a pharmacy you choose costs an administrative fee each time.
- Missed visits
- Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours' notice carry a no-show fee.

Vita Bella questions
- Is Vita Bella legit?
- Vita Bella Health LLC is a telehealth membership company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. Consultations are with independent licensed providers, and partner pharmacies fill the medication. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved.
- How much is Vita Bella tirzepatide per month?
- The medication starts at $159 a month at 2.5 mg. The required membership brings a starting month to $288. There's also a one-time consult fee and a shipping charge on each order.
- Can you cancel Vita Bella anytime?
- Not in the first three months. The terms set a minimum of three consecutive membership payments. After that you can cancel through the portal form, and the account closes at the end of that month.
- Do you need lab work for Vita Bella?
- The membership process includes a lab step. You can order labs through Quest Diagnostics at member pricing or upload results no older than six months. Lab costs are separate from the membership.
