LumiMeds Review: It Fixed the Sentence FDA Wrote To It About
FDA cited LumiMeds in 2025 for copy that gave a drug class an approval date and told readers its compounded products had “the same active ingredient as the brand name medications”. The copy live today says “Compounded medications are not FDA-approved”, without being asked. The price is $89 a month, and the letter is still open.

The money verdict
Cheap, plainly priced, and — unusually — a company whose disclosure now contradicts the copy FDA wrote to it about, in the right direction.

- You want a company that states compounded drugs are not FDA-approved in its own words
- You want NAD+ from the same provider as weight loss
Look elsewhere if
- You want a renewal rate or plan term published before you buy
- You want the compounding pharmacy named
- An open FDA warning letter would stop you buying, even one whose copy has been corrected

Pricing, per compound
Everything LumiMeds sells, cheapest year first. “Advertised” is the price it leads with; “Walk-away” is what you pay if you stop after one cycle.
| Provider | Advertised | Walk-away | Year at this price |
|---|---|---|---|
Semaglutide — compounded injection “As low as $89/mo”, with no term, prepay or renewal published — $1,068 a year on the only figure given. The $40 beside it is a referral credit. | $89.00/mo | $89.00/mo | $1,068.00 $89.00 × 12 months |
NAD+ — compounded injection “Start NAD+ injectables for as low as $119/mo”, sold alongside the weight-loss range rather than as a separate program. $1,428 a year. | $119.00/mo | $119.00/mo | $1,428.00 $119.00 × 12 months |
The year at this dose — 12 payments, or 13 where a seller bills every four weeks. Several charge more as you move to a higher dose; where they publish that, the row says so.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The copy FDA cited has been corrected.
- $89 a month is at the cheap end of the compounded semaglutide market, with no prepay term attached to reach it.
- It states that treatments are prescribed by licensed providers through state-licensed compounding pharmacies — the correct licensing authority, which several competitors get wrong.
- It says outright that payment does not guarantee a prescription, which is honest about a step most sites gloss.
- NAD+ is priced openly rather than requiring a consultation to discover.
Cons
- No renewal rate, plan term or membership is published, so “as low as” is the only pricing information available.
- No compounding pharmacy is named, so the state-licensed claim cannot be checked against a licensee.
- No certificate of analysis or testing result is published.
- An open FDA warning letter (716510, September 2025) cited copy assigning FDA approval dates to a drug class and describing compounded products as having the same active ingredient as brand-name medications.
- A $40 referral credit appears beside the price, which is not a discount a buyer can rely on.

Key terms
Show definitions
- Walk-away price
- What one cycle costs at the ongoing rate with no commitment — what you actually pay if you stop after month one.
- Year at this price
- The walk-away price multiplied by however many times a year it's actually billed. It's the year at this dose only — several sellers charge more as you move up, and most don't publish the ladder.
- Compounded
- Made to order by a pharmacy from raw ingredients, rather than dispensed as an FDA-approved, mass-manufactured product.
Bottom line
$89 a month — $1,068 a year — with no term attached and no renewal rate published, so confirm what happens at month two before you start. Worth noting what most reviews would not: the sentence FDA objected to is gone, replaced by one saying compounded drugs are not FDA-approved.
Visit LumiMedsFrequently asked questions
What does LumiMeds cost?
Weight loss is advertised “as low as $89/mo” and NAD+ “as low as $119/mo”. No plan term, prepay requirement, membership or renewal rate is published alongside either, so $1,068 a year is arithmetic on the figure LumiMeds gives rather than a price it quotes.
Does LumiMeds have an FDA warning letter?
Yes — letter 716510, issued 9 September 2025 and still open. It cited copy that gave FDA approval dates to a drug class rather than a product, and described compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide as having the same active ingredient as brand-name medications. The site no longer says any of that; its current disclaimer states that compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
Are its compounded drugs FDA-approved?
No, and LumiMeds now says so itself. Compounded preparations are made to a prescription by a state-licensed pharmacy and are not reviewed or approved by FDA. That is the distinction the company's warning letter turned on.
