The shelf

What the shop carries, and where it comes from.

Two kinds of thing: medical foods, which ship to you directly, and prescription weight care, which a licensed clinician has to prescribe first.

Medical foods

A medical food is formulated to be taken under a physician’s supervision, for the dietary management of a disease or condition with distinctive nutritional requirements. That is its definition in United States law. Medical foods are not drugs, and they are not FDA-approved.

The shop has medical foods for

  • Pain and inflammation
  • Sleep, including sleep disturbed by stress or anxiety
  • Fatigue and focus
  • Weight and metabolic health
  • Loss of sensation in peripheral neuropathy
  • Sinus and respiratory health

Each product states the condition it is for, how many capsules it holds and how long it lasts. Most come as a one-month or a three-month supply.

Prescription weight care

Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, and the brand-name medicines Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro. The shop also carries a compounded NAD+ injection. Brand-name medicines are FDA-approved finished products; compounded preparations are made by a licensed pharmacy and are not.

  1. ChoosePick the medicine from the shop. Its page states the price and whether it is compounded or brand-name.
  2. Online visitA clinician from our clinical partner, licensed where you live, reviews you online. There is nothing to attend.
  3. Prescribed, or notIt is prescribed only if the clinician decides it is appropriate for you. If they decide it is not, nothing is sent.
  4. ShippedIf it is prescribed, the clinical partner ships it to you.

What the shop does not do

  • Take insurance. Everything is paid directly, at the price on the page.
  • Book appointments or see anyone in person.
  • Promise an outcome, from a medical food or a medicine.
  • Prescribe through Balencia's founder. Beth does not prescribe.
