ElitePhysiqMD review

What it is

ElitePhysiqMD runs online programs for weight loss, peptide therapy, hormones, sexual health and hair loss, with its shop on a separate storefront called myEPMD. It says it is LegitScript certified and that its contracted physician network can prescribe in all 50 states. The company is a platform rather than a pharmacy: independent physicians make the prescribing decisions, and state-licensed 503A and 503B compounding pharmacies fill the orders. Sermorelin is sold as a subcutaneous injection, usually taken before sleep. ElitePhysiqMD pitches it to adults exploring physician-guided growth-hormone peptide therapy, for body composition, recovery and sleep. It notes that sermorelin was once used clinically to test growth-hormone function, and that today's wellness use is compounded and off-label. The ordering and visit system runs on Qualiphy, a telehealth platform, and ElitePhysiqMD says it does not employ the prescribing physicians itself.

How it works

You choose a plan, then complete a short medical intake at checkout. A US-licensed physician reviews it and issues a prescription only if treatment is appropriate. ElitePhysiqMD says your order ships only after approval, and that you are not charged for the medication if it is not right for you. Approved orders ship in discreet packaging, with overnight cold-pack shipping for members. Members also get trackable treatment programs, Whoop and Oura integration, a place to upload and compare lab results, and urgent care at a member rate. One-time buyers have to re-qualify with each order and pay the visit fee every time. Members get $0 visit fees on every refill, so ongoing dose changes should not cost extra while the membership is active. Prescriptions always require a completed medical visit, member or not. If you already track sleep and recovery with a wearable, the integrations let your care team see the same data you do.

Pricing transparency

Sermorelin lists at $266.00. Members pay $239.40 a refill, 10% off, and the $49 exam fee and $30 overnight shipping are waived. The membership itself is $89.00 a month and renews automatically until you cancel, so a member's monthly cost for sermorelin alone is about $328. A one-time purchase is $345.00: the $266.00 medication plus the $49 exam and $30 shipping, charged on every order. The membership also takes 10% off every other item in the shop. One more thing to check: choosing the auto-refill option adds a "Required Tele-Health Visit - $49.00" to the cart, so confirm whether that first visit fee is waived for members. Here is the yearly math for sermorelin alone. Twelve member refills plus twelve months of membership come to about $3,941. Twelve one-time orders come to $4,140, so membership saves roughly $200 a year even if sermorelin is all you buy. The saving grows if you add other treatments, since each gets 10% off. A sitewide welcome offer sometimes waives shipping on a first order, but that is a one-time promotion.

Branded vs compounded

ElitePhysiqMD's sermorelin is compounded and requires a prescription. The company states clearly that compounded medications are not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality. It does not publish a dose, concentration or vial size for sermorelin, and it does not name the compounding pharmacy. Your physician sets the dose, typically as a nightly injection under the skin. The side effects it lists are injection-site reactions and headache, and it advises monitoring during treatment. Before you pay, ask the physician for the dose in micrograms, how many injections a refill covers and the vial's strength. Those numbers let you compare the $239.40 refill with other sellers on a like-for-like basis.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what ElitePhysiqMD prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• Does sermorelin work? What the trials actually measured

  Sermorelin reliably makes your pituitary release growth hormone. Beyond that the evidence is one placebo-controlled trial in 19 adults from 1997 — lean body mass up in men only, nothing in women, and no effect on sleep in either.

• Is Sermorelin FDA-Approved? The Real Answer

  Sermorelin was FDA-approved once, under a different name, and that approval is gone. What is sold today is compounded — which is legal, but not the same thing as approved.
