Actin

A platform that names the medical practice and the three pharmacies behind its prescriptions, and then prices semaglutide two different ways on its own pages.

Review by Craig Palmer, peptide pharmacology writer · Updated September 2026

The short version

Actin does the naming that decides whether a seller can be checked at all: the practice that employs its clinicians and the three compounding pharmacies that fill its prescriptions are printed, with addresses, on every page. It prints a one-month price for every product too. The weak points are a semaglutide price that its product page and its help center state differently, and terms that make every sale final.

Actin Health is a cash-pay telehealth platform in Miami, operated by Actin Telehealth, Inc., that sells compounded medication by subscription across weight loss, longevity, men's sexual performance and women's hormones. Its peptide catalog is compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection, sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione by injection, and an NAD+ facial cream. Each product page lays out a ladder of one-, three- and six-month plans, and the one-month plan priced above the two longer ones.

What Actin prescribes, by goal

Weight

  • SemaglutideFDA-approved
    • Injection (compounded)From $198/mo
  • TirzepatideFDA-approved
    • Injection (compounded)From $269/mo

Compounded semaglutide is injected once a week under the skin, according to the help center, and neither GLP-1 page prints a milligram dose. Its product page asks $169 for one month, while the help center article that page links to says plans start at $198 a month and that the final cost depends on the prescribed dose. Tirzepatide is $269 for one month, with the prescriber choosing a version combined with B12 or with glycine. A separate microdose plan pairs semaglutide with B12 for people with a BMI between 20 and 25, at $149 for one month.

Longevity

  • GlutathioneLegal to compound
    • Injection (compounded)From $139/mo
  • NAD+Legal to compound
    • Injection (compounded)From $179/mo
    • Topical (compounded)From $129/mo

NAD+ is sold as an injection at $179 for one month and as a facial cream at $129, applied once or twice daily. Glutathione is an injection at $139, and the help center gives its schedule as one to two injections a week, set during the consultation. No product states a vial size or a milligram strength, so a monthly figure here cannot be turned into a cost per milligram.

Recovery

  • SermorelinLegal to compound
    • Injection (compounded)From $179/mo

Sermorelin is an injection at $179 for one month, and the help center says it is usually injected under the skin at bedtime, five nights a week. That timing follows from the mechanism the page describes, in which sermorelin prompts the pituitary to release growth hormone on its own nightly rhythm. A separate growth hormone peptides page discusses sermorelin, tesamorelin, CJC-1295 and ipamorelin under one starting price, without a product or a price for any of them individually.

Sleep

  • SermorelinLegal to compound
    • Injection (compounded)From $179/mo

Sermorelin is the product pitched at sleep, and its key points read sleep deeper, recover faster, age slower. The explanation offered is that growth hormone release is concentrated at night, which is why the injection is scheduled at bedtime. That part is mechanism rather than a measured sleep outcome, and the page cites no sleep study behind it.

Each “From” figure is the seller’s own starting price, in the unit the seller states. Where a required fee or a package length changes what one month costs, the smaller line under it is our arithmetic, not a figure the seller prints. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved.

Who prescribes

A licensed clinician

Actin is explicit that it does not prescribe: its terms of service say Actin Health is not a healthcare provider, and that each clinician is employed or contracted by a professional practice independently owned by a licensed physician. The footer names that practice as Beluga Health, P.A., of Houston, Texas, and the help center says Actin partners with a national network of licensed physicians and nurse practitioners. No individual clinician is named on any public page. The dispensing side is named in full, with addresses and phone numbers: The Pharmacy Hub in Miami Gardens, GreenwichRX in Tomball, Texas, and Hallandale Pharmacy in Fort Lauderdale.

The intake is an online questionnaire that the product pages put at about five minutes, and the help center says a licensed provider reviews it the same day before a prescription is sent to a pharmacy. A video visit is not mentioned on any product or help page, and neither is a scheduled call, so the prescribing decision appears to rest on the written answers. After approval, every product page lists unlimited clinician support around the clock and dose adjustments as needed, and the help center says you can message your provider through the patient portal at any time. Refills are scheduled automatically, about seven days before the current supply runs out.

Are labs required?

At the provider's discretion

No page asks for bloodwork before a prescription. The sermorelin page says progress is typically tracked through IGF-1 blood tests and that your provider can order labs if needed, and the NAD+ help article says lab monitoring is not always required. None of the pages says who pays for a test a provider orders.

What it claims, and what it cites

The quality claim is the broadest one, and it is asserted rather than shown. The homepage says every batch is third-party tested and lists potency, sterility, endotoxin and pH checks, but no certificate of analysis, batch number or laboratory name appears on any product page. The weight-loss page says GLP-1s produce up to 15 to 20 percent weight loss in clinical trials, and names no trial. The longevity page does better on one figure: its claim that lifestyle shapes 70 percent of how you age carries a full journal citation, to Ruby and colleagues in Genetics, 2018. The pricing claim is the one that contradicts itself. Both GLP-1 pages promise the same price, forever, and one version of the longevity pages prints the same price at every dose. The help center's semaglutide article says the final cost depends on your treatment plan and prescribed dose. A price tied to the dose can change as the dose is raised, which sits awkwardly beside a promise that it never will. The footer carries a LegitScript badge that links to LegitScript's public lookup form rather than to a certification page, and the product pages say Actin is highly rated on Trustpilot without a score or a link.

Sold by Actin, not listed here

Tesamorelin
Approved only as Egrifta, for excess abdominal fat in adults with HIV-associated lipodystrophy. Its label says it is not indicated for weight loss. Egrifta became a biologic (BLA) on March 23, 2020, and FDA says compounded versions of these products do not qualify for the 503A or 503B compounding exemptions.
CJC-1295
On no FDA compounding list. The name does not appear in the 503A bulk drug substances categories (updated May 14, 2026) or in the 503B categories (updated March 21, 2025), so neither a 503A pharmacy nor a 503B outsourcing facility has a listed route to it.
Ipamorelin
"Ipamorelin Acetate" is in 503B Category 2, bulk drug substances that raise significant safety risks (list updated March 21, 2025). It is named on no 503A list, so neither an outsourcing facility nor a 503A pharmacy has a listed route to it.

Sildenafil, tadalafil, estrogen and progesterone are not peptides.

How it bills

Every product page prints a plan ladder, and the one-month plan is its top rung: sermorelin and the NAD+ injection are $179, glutathione $139, the NAD+ cream $129 and tirzepatide $269. The three- and six-month rungs are lower per month, and the pages do not say whether those longer plans are billed up front. Semaglutide is the exception. The product page asks $169 for one month, and the help center article it links to says plans start as low as $198 a month, so the ranking uses the higher of the two. The longevity pages also run a split test, in which some visitors see only a starting price equal to the six-month rung, beside the words same price, every dose. No membership fee is charged, the consultation and supplies are included, and shipping is free. The terms of service make all sales final and non-refundable, and a cancellation takes effect the day after the current subscription period ends. The help center says you can pause, skip or cancel from the Treatments section of your account.
