What is Shed?
Shed is a telehealth platform offering physician-prescribed GLP-1 weight loss medications and NAD+ therapy. Their differentiator is delivery format flexibility — in addition to standard injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide, Shed offers GLP-1 drops and lozenges as non-injectable alternatives, lowering the barrier for patients who are needle-averse or newer to compounded therapies.
NAD+ is available in oral, injectable, and nasal formats — one of the broader NAD+ delivery menus among telehealth platforms. Lab requirements vary by state, which means some patients can get started without bloodwork while others will need to complete a panel first.
Treatments Offered by Shed
GLP-1 Weight Loss — Injectable & Oral Formats
Semaglutide injection starts at $199/month ($2,388/year). GLP-1 drops and lozenges are available from $199/month as an alternative to subcutaneous injections. Tirzepatide injection (the more potent dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist) starts at $299/month ($3,588/year). Both medications are physician-prescribed and sourced through licensed compounding pharmacies.
NAD+ Therapy
NAD+ is Shed's most accessible entry point at $149/month ($1,788/year). Three delivery formats are available: oral, injectable, and nasal spray. Injectable NAD+ delivers the highest bioavailability for cellular energy and mitochondrial support; the nasal and oral routes offer more convenient non-injection options at the same price tier.

How Shed Works
After completing an online health intake, patients are reviewed by a licensed physician who recommends an appropriate protocol. Lab requirements depend on your state — some states require baseline bloodwork before GLP-1 prescriptions are issued; others do not. Prescriptions are fulfilled through licensed compounding pharmacies and shipped to the patient's door.
Who Shed is Best For
- Patients who want GLP-1 weight loss without injections — drops and lozenges provide a genuine injectable-free option
- Users entering NAD+ therapy who want multiple delivery format options at a $149/month entry price
- Patients in states with lower lab requirements who want a streamlined onboarding process
- Anyone comparing GLP-1 telehealth options and wanting competitive injection pricing ($199/mo semaglutide)
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Patients who need peptides beyond GLP-1 and NAD+ (BPC-157, PT-141, testosterone, etc.) — Marek Health or Defy Medical are better options
- Users who want the broadest formulary — Shed is focused on metabolic health and cellular energy
- Anyone needing confirmed tirzepatide at the lowest available price — Tonik ($229/mo) or Gala ($149/mo microdose) may offer better value
Pros
- GLP-1 drops and lozenges — rare non-injectable semaglutide option
- NAD+ in three formats (oral, injectable, nasal) from $149/mo
- State-dependent labs — some patients can start without bloodwork
- Competitive semaglutide injection pricing at $199/mo
- Physician-supervised protocols via licensed compounding pharmacies
Cons
- Tirzepatide at $299/mo is on the higher end vs competitors
- Narrow formulary — GLP-1 and NAD+ only
- Lab requirements vary by state — not a uniform nationwide process
- No testosterone, BPC-157, PT-141, or other peptides confirmed
Shed vs Competitors
vs Tonik: Tonik offers lower semaglutide ($149/mo) and tirzepatide ($229/mo) pricing and also covers testosterone, NAD+, and GHK-Cu. Shed wins on delivery format variety (drops/lozenges); Tonik wins on price and formulary breadth.
vs Gala: Gala focuses exclusively on tirzepatide microdosing from $149/mo. Shed has a broader offering with semaglutide and NAD+. Choose Gala for the lowest tirzepatide entry point; choose Shed for multi-compound needs.
vs MadeMed: Both offer NAD+ in multiple delivery formats. MadeMed adds oral Sermorelin and requires a $149/yr membership for best pricing. Shed is simpler with no membership fee structure.
Our Verdict on Shed
Shed fills a real gap in the telehealth landscape with its GLP-1 drops and lozenges — most clinics offer injectable-only formats. For patients who want to lose weight without starting injections, Shed is one of the few supervised options. The NAD+ menu is also broader than most, covering oral, injectable, and nasal spray from $149/month.
The limitation is formulary depth. If you need testosterone, BPC-157, PT-141, or any peptide beyond GLP-1 and NAD+, you'll need a different clinic. But for focused metabolic health and cellular energy support, Shed delivers competitive pricing and format flexibility.
Rating: 7.5/10 — Best for Non-Injectable GLP-1 Access
