HERS vs. Pomegranate Semaglutide for Weight Loss, Which is more Affordable
In addition to the cost difference between online providers of Semaglutide, the other real differentiator is Weight Loss Support. In this Hers Vs.Pomegranate Semagltutider for Weight loss, I'll help you determine which one is more affordable.
About one-quarter of the companies offer formal Weight Loss support in additional to being able to write prescriptions for a GLP-1 weight loss medication. Pomegranate is one of those providers and even with the added cost of the Weight Loss support they are #4 on the list of over 50 online providers. Hers doesn't offer a formal Weight Loss support program.

hers/hims and Pomegranate, What we like and what could be better?
1. Both companies are LegitScript Certified, meaning they have been certified by an outside organization on their verification of facilitating transactions for pharmacies. It also means that they have been approved for card-not-present transactions over the internet.
2. Pomegranate is very competitive and is ranked #3 on the list. This ranking is with the additional monthly subscription cost that they ask you to pay. We like that the weight loss support is part of the monthly plan.
3. Hers has their pricing buried pretty deep, I had to really dig to find the package and month-to-month pricing. If we as consumers are paying out of pocket, I don't understand why they make it so hard to find the pricing we are looking for.
Which one is more cost-effective?
At $179 for both the larger dose and the monthly subscription, Pomegranate is by far a better value than HERS.
