Head-to-head comparison
KERNX Health vs Pomegranate Health
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
A nationwide cash-pay program that answers the two questions this desk asks first — what does my dose cost, and who is prescribing it — and declines to answer a third, which pharmacy fills it.
$129/mo (see conditions) sema · $229/mo (see conditions) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The dispensing pharmacy is disclosed only in post-purchase paperwork, so no 503A or 503B status can be checked in advance
Desk Score
Pomegranate Health sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with no membership and no consultation fee, from a pricing page that names six compounding pharmacies and its own state exclusions.
$129/mo (promo rate) sema · $149/mo (promo rate) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The product page and the pricing page disagree on the semaglutide price — 'Starts @ $119/mo' against '$129/month' for the same compounded product, both live in August 2026
KERNX Health takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 81/100 (B−) against 52/100 (C) for Pomegranate Health. Pomegranate Health still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
