Provider review
Kongo review
By Derek Olsson ·
Monthly or prepaid GLP-1 plans, with named pharmacies and final-sale terms
Kongo now names Absolute and Strive as pharmacy partners. Its treatment pages distinguish one-month billing from lower monthly equivalents paid three months upfront. Provider access, supplies, and delivery are described as included, while the terms make consultation fees non-refundable and prescription sales final.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Kongo offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with a clearly separated monthly option and a discounted three-month prepayment option. Its public terms now name Absolute and Strive pharmacy partners, and the treatment page names a clinical lead. Weigh the prepaid commitment and final-sale terms against the lower advertised equivalent; phone support is still listed as coming soon.

Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You want to compare monthly billing with a clearly stated three-month upfront purchase
- You want medication, provider access, supplies, and delivery bundled without a separate membership
- You want publicly named pharmacy partners before deciding
Look elsewhere if
- You need a refund of a completed consultation or prescription purchase
- You want live phone support before joining
- You want the lower advertised monthly equivalent without paying for three months upfront
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Three-month plans advertise semaglutide at $95/month equivalent ($285 upfront) and tirzepatide at $129/month equivalent ($387 upfront).
What you actually pay, month to month
The one-month plans are $109/month for compounded semaglutide and $209/month for compounded tirzepatide. The lower $95/$129 equivalents require three months paid upfront.
The commitment trap
The lower displayed monthly equivalents require a three-month upfront payment; one-month billing costs more.
Money you will meet later
- The public FAQ says there is no separate membership fee and describes provider review, medication, injection supplies, and shipping as included.
- A lab allowance is not itemized in the reviewed treatment pages.
Prices come from Kongo's own website and can change without notice — confirm before you buy. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.
What is included
Compare the total cost, including fees and any minimum commitment. Here is what Kongo bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Both treatment plans include provider evaluation and messaging
Bloodwork / labs
The reviewed treatment pages do not itemize lab testing or an included lab allowance
Follow-ups and dose changes
The treatment pages describe provider check-ins
and dose adjustments without a fixed public visit schedule.
Human support
Clinical and support messaging are described through the portal
with email for prospective patients. Public phone support is still marked coming soon.
Injection supplies
The FAQ includes injection supplies such as syringes and alcohol wipes
Shipping
Free discreet shipping is included
The FAQ says most orders arrive within five to seven business days after approval.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
The terms name Absolute Pharmacy in Lutz, Florida, and Strive Pharmacy in Gilbert, Arizona. The treatment pages describe 503A pharmacy fulfillment. These are Kongo’s published identities and sourcing descriptions, not independent licensing or product-quality verification.
Oversight
The treatment pages describe provider check-ins and dose adjustments without a fixed public visit schedule.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
The public FAQ states service across all 50 states, with some states requiring a provider phone call before prescribing. Confirm the selected treatment and state requirements before paying.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
The terms make consultation fees non-refundable and prescription sales final. The lower advertised monthly equivalent also requires three months paid upfront, so the ability to cancel future service is not a promise to return prepaid medication charges. The terms use Kongo LLC while the footer says Kongo Health Inc.; ask which entity governs the purchase.
- The lowest monthly equivalents require three-month prepayment
- Consultation fees are non-refundable and prescription sales are final
- Public phone support remains marked coming soon
- Terms and footer use different company names
- The reviewed treatment pages do not itemize a lab allowance or visit calendar
Weigh these trade-offs against the costs, care and terms above. For questions to ask before enrolling, see our vendor red-flags guide.
Questions about Kongo
What does Kongo cost if I pay one month at a time?
The treatment pages list $109/month for compounded semaglutide and $209/month for compounded tirzepatide. The lower displayed equivalents are three-month purchases: $285 upfront for semaglutide and $387 upfront for tirzepatide. They are not separate $95 or $129 monthly bills.

What is included and can the price increase with dose?
The public FAQ describes provider review, prescription medication if approved, injection supplies, and free discreet shipping, with no separate membership fee. It also says the price does not rise as dosage is adjusted. The treatment pages include provider evaluation and messaging, but do not itemize a lab allowance.
Sources: Compounded semaglutide plans; Compounded tirzepatide plans; Coverage, inclusions, shipping, and cancellation FAQ
Which pharmacies does Kongo name?
The terms list Absolute Pharmacy in Lutz, Florida, and Strive Pharmacy in Gilbert, Arizona, with contact details. The treatment pages describe 503A pharmacy fulfillment. Ask which pharmacy would fill your prescription; the list does not independently verify its licenses or establish the quality of your preparation.
Sources: Compounded semaglutide plans; Terms, payments, and pharmacy partners
Can I cancel and get unused money back?
The FAQ says you can pause or cancel through the portal without a long-term commitment. The payment terms separately make consultation fees non-refundable and prescription sales final. Because the discounted plan is prepaid for three months, confirm what cancellation would change before committing; cancellation alone does not promise a refund of those charges.

Is Kongo available in all states and how long does shipping take?
The FAQ says Kongo works with licensed providers across all 50 states, with a brief provider phone call required in some states before prescribing. It estimates most orders arrive within five to seven business days after approval and describes free discreet shipping. That is an estimate after approval, not a guaranteed arrival date.
Sources: Coverage, inclusions, shipping, and cancellation FAQ
How can I reach Kongo if I need help?
The contact page directs members to clinical and support messaging in the portal and prospective patients to email. It says replies typically arrive within a few hours during business hours. Phone support is still marked coming soon, so someone who needs a public number to call should clarify access before joining.

A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
