Compounded semaglutide (compounded GLP-1) can be a medication prescribed for weight loss. It contains the same active ingredient as the groundbreaking medications Wegovy® and Ozempic®.
Compounded GLP-1 medications work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and digestion — potentially leading to weight loss when combined with diet and exercise.
Compounded semaglutide is customized uniquely for each individual by a state licensed compounding pharmacy. Once prescribed by one of Eden’s network of licensed healthcare professionals, compounded semaglutide is self-injected just once a week.
At Eden, we source compounded semaglutide from accredited 503a compounding pharmacies that have a reputation for safety. However, like any medication, there may be side effects. These are usually mild and go away within a couple of weeks.
Note: See safety information for additional details.
Eden’s personalized weight loss solutions are focused on you. Access to injectable (compounded) semaglutide is sourced from audited and licensed US-based compounding pharmacies. It is always available in a customized dosage catered to your specific needs. We also offer a free initial consultation with a network healthcare provider, consistent pricing regardless of dose, and 24/7 access to online support.
Only available if prescribed after an online consultation with a healthcare provider. Benefits outlined are based on third-party studies. Plans are offered as a subscription service which can be canceled at any time. Actual product packaging may appear differently than shown. Physicians may prescribe compounded medications as needed to meet patient requirements or address drug shortages. The FDA does not review or approve any compounded medications for safety or effectiveness. Compounded semaglutide has not been approved by the FDA for weight loss, but studies indicate potential benefits. Results may vary.
When combined with diet and exercise.
Based on self reported data from 160 Eden members while on GLP-1 injections, while combined with diet and exercise.
Semaglutide has been shown to improve blood sugar control and diabetes risk. GLP-1 medications have also been found to help protect the heart, lowering the risk of cardiovascular complications, like stroke and heart attack, by up to 14 percent in those with obesity and diabetes.4
Our medication is delivered from a state licensed pharmacy in our network, right to your door when you need it.
Our pharmacies perform third party testing through FDA and DEA registered labs to run quality control checks for every compounded lot prescribed for Eden patients. They test four key characteristics that are associated with quality and safety.
This test is performed every 3 to 6 months. It confirms that the medication has plus or minus 10% of the appropriate concentration of the active ingredient.
This test ensures the medication is free from any contaminants, including bacteria or other pathogens. Every batch is tested and must meet the requirements of USP 797.1.
This test assesses the acid/base balance to ensure minimal irritation upon injection.
This test, along with sterility testing, ensures the medication is free of harmful toxins. Every batch is tested for bacterial endotoxins, which may not exceed the threshold limits defined in USP 85.
Your health and well-being are our absolute top priority. That is why we never avoid any effort to ensure you get the best treatment every time, starting from day one.
Semaglutide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists, which mimic the naturally-occurring hormone GLP-1.
Is made in the gut and attaches itself to GLP-1 receptors in the brain and the pancreas. This happens naturally when you eat, regulating your appetite and prompting the release of insulin.
Semaglutide mimics the action of the GLP-1 hormone by binding to those same receptors—without food having to enter your system.
When semaglutide attaches to GLP-1 receptors, it produces the following metabolic effects that help people keep weight off long-term:
Semaglutide triggers signals in the brain that prolong satiety. This curbs your hunger and can lower food intake.
Semaglutide slows down the process of food leaving the stomach, so you feel full for longer.
Semaglutide activates insulin secretion in the pancreas, regulating blood sugar levels and turning on your metabolic processes.
Semaglutide bypasses the need for food to start these metabolic processes, and has been shown to be effective when combined with diet and exercise1 —making it a promising weight loss option for those with obesity or diabetes.
For many, it's tied to medical conditions that make traditional methods less effective. Prescription medication can help address these underlying issues. Your journey to better health is unique, and Eden is here to support you every step of the way to make real progress toward your health goals.”

The compounding process simply refers to the process of changing a medication slightly or adding new ingredients to it. During the compounding process, pharmacies may add new ingredients or change the current ones slightly to personalize the medication for a patient based on prescribers recommendations.
For example, compounding pharmacies may add vitamins to a medication or take out a known allergen. Another popular reason for compounding is to transform a medication into a liquid for patients who have difficulty swallowing.

I started at 222 pounds in April and now here we are in August and I am down over 40 pounds... I can't remember ever being this low. It's motivating me to do more things, like go to the gym and eat healthy. I swim a little bit more with the kids. It just gives me confidence. Which has been amazing. I'm so lucky to have found Eden.”
I had my son in 2021 and struggled to lose weight... I was tired of having low self confidence and feeling like garbage all of the time, so I decided I wanted to try semaglutide. I've lost 45lbs so far and couldn't be happier! This medication has been truly life changing for me!”
