Form Health vs Sprout Health
A dietitian-led program prescribing FDA-approved drugs against Sprout Health's compounded GLP-1s from named pharmacies.
Short answer
Sprout Health is the cheaper cash option: $149 every four weeks for compounded semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide. Form Health costs $299 a month self-pay for physician and dietitian care, with brand-name medication on top, or your usual copays if insurance covers it. Sprout has an FDA warning letter on record (715879); Form has none.

Is Form Health or Sprout Health better?
Form gives you a care team: an obesity-medicine physician or endocrinologist, a registered dietitian and monthly video visits, with FDA-approved medication only and insurance or Medicare billing. Sprout gives you compounded medication through a quiz-first intake, with its clinician network and both pharmacies named, in 44 states. Insured readers should check Form first; cash buyers will find Sprout far cheaper. Sprout received FDA warning letter 715879 in September 2025, linked below.
