Kina review
A menopause clinic that treats GLP-1 weight care as a menopause problem, which almost nothing else on this roster does. Four routes are published with prices attached: semaglutide injection at $199 a month, semaglutide dissolving tablets at $279, tirzepatide injection at $249 and tirzepatide sublingual drops at $229, flat at every dose, with anti-nausea support included free for the first two months. The catch is a real one and it is not hidden in the small print so much as split across two pages. The weight page promises no membership and one all-in price; the Terms you actually agree to describe membership plans, recurring charges, and medication billed separately on top. Get which one applies to you in writing before you subscribe.

How I scored Kina
Every factor here comes from Kina's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 54/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

$199 for the semaglutide injection, $279 for the oral tablet, $249 and $229 for tirzepatide injectable and sublingual, after a $169 first month — the whole ladder in one sentence, with anti-nausea medication free for two months. Read the Terms though: membership fees are non-refundable once a clinician has reviewed you.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked Kina's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action stays on trykina.com (https://www.trykina.com/weight)
- 2The intake responded HTTP 200 when checked on 2026-08-21
- 3Walked to the intake entry only. No personal information was submitted, so nothing past the entry screen is asserted here
What I noticed
- No monthly price is visible on the public homepage; the number appears only after you begin the intake
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $199 | Flex Dose injection, weekly — same price at every doseOngoing rate. $169 covers the first month only. Described as monthly; no four-week or 28-day language appears on the site. |
| Compounded semaglutide | $279 | ODT dissolving tablet, daily, with anti-nausea included |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $249 | Injection, weekly — same price at every dose |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $229 | Sublingual drops, once daily |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Kina's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Kina's own site.
What I like
- Genuinely menopause-first — the weight care is framed around hormonal change rather than bolted onto a general weight clinic
- Four delivery routes published with prices: two semaglutide, two tirzepatide, including sublingual drops and dissolving tablets
- Flat pricing at every dose on all four, stated plainly as 'same price at every dose, no surprise increases'
- Zofran anti-nausea support included free for the first two months
- The clinical group is named outright — Arora Health & Aesthetics, LLC in Seattle — with a compliance contact, which most of this roster does not do
- Prices sit on the open weight page rather than behind the intake quiz
- No FDA warning letter against the brand, the operator or the named clinical group
The caveats
- Its own pages contradict each other on the central question: the weight page says '$0 membership or hidden fees, ever' while the Terms describe membership plans, recurring charges, and medication 'billed separately'
- The Terms are what you legally attest to, and they say membership fees are non-refundable once a clinician has reviewed your intake
- Shipped medication orders are non-refundable under the same clause
- Its own site footer advertises 'Starting at $169/mo' — that is a first-month rate carrying a monthly suffix, and the ongoing price is $199
- A separate pricing page quotes a membership at $39 for the first month and $59 a month after, which appears nowhere on the weight page
- Three different entities appear across the site: Kina Health, Inc. in the Terms, Stewart Ventures Inc. in the footer copyright, and Arora Health & Aesthetics, LLC as the treating group
- States served are never published — availability is described only as varying by state
- No postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS guidance anywhere on its weight page or FAQ, which is a real gap for a clinic built around women's hormones
What I actually think of Kina
A menopause clinic that treats GLP-1 weight care as a menopause problem, which almost nothing else on this roster does. Four routes are published with prices attached: semaglutide injection at $199 a month, semaglutide dissolving tablets at $279, tirzepatide injection at $249 and tirzepatide sublingual drops at $229, flat at every dose, with anti-nausea support included free for the first two months. The catch is a real one and it is not hidden in the small print so much as split across two pages. The weight page promises no membership and one all-in price; the Terms you actually agree to describe membership plans, recurring charges, and medication billed separately on top. Get which one applies to you in writing before you subscribe. It runs about $199/month, and it's flat at every dose.
I look at Kina the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Kina really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Flex Dose injection, weekly — same price at every dose: $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — ODT dissolving tablet, daily, with anti-nausea included: $279/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, weekly — same price at every dose: $249/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Sublingual drops, once daily: $229/mo
That's about in line with the ~$179/month middle of my shortlist.
Which meds Kina prescribes
Kina prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
There's a needle-free option here too, and it's worth asking exactly which kind before you choose it. An FDA-approved GLP-1 tablet is a studied medicine with its own label; a compounded under-the-tongue version is a different thing, far less studied than the shots the trials actually used. They get advertised in almost identical language.
Who Kina is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
My confidence is middling — the core facts hold up, but some details (per-state availability, how the program really runs) aren't fully public. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
Kina is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: A woman in perimenopause or menopause who wants weight care from clinicians who treat that as the cause, and who will confirm the membership question before paying.
If Kina isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Kina, answered
- How much does Kina cost?
- As I last checked, Kina's pricing starts around $199/month ($199/mo injection ($279/mo oral tablet) semaglutide, $229/mo sublingual ($249/mo injection) tirzepatide). Confirm the current, all-in number on Kina's own site before you commit — these move.
- Is Kina okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- No — and that's true of every GLP-1, compounded or brand: none is established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. Kina is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning and talk the timing through with your own clinician. I'm a mom, not a doctor.
- Does Kina have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — Kina offers both. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often the one clinicians reach for when insulin resistance drives weight, which matters if you've got PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes.
- Where does Kina land on your list?
- Kina scores 54/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #209), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. My #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the list — worth seeing how they stack up.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Kina's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
