Our verdict

Gala publishes more of the sermorelin protocol than most — five nights a week at bedtime, with a two-week washout every six months — and it declines to claim the peptide does anything its evidence cannot support. The problem is the screening: elevated IGF-1 is listed as a reason not to prescribe, and nothing on the page indicates Gala measures it.

What is Gala Health Anti-Aging / Sermorelin?

Sermorelin is the second of two compounds in the longevity line of AI Coaching Inc., d/b/a Gala GLP-1. Gala describes it as a growth-hormone-releasing peptide that signals the pituitary to produce its own growth hormone rather than replacing it, taken as a subcutaneous injection at $199 a month for a 28-day supply, or $118 a month on a twelve-month plan.

Methodology scorecard

Scored on Sep 23, 2026 under methodology v6

5.63/10
  • Legitimacy & Accreditation
    Critical

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): The operating entity is named in the terms of service and the site footer as AI Coaching Inc., d/b/a Gala GLP-1, at a Wilmington, Delaware address, with a support email. No third-party accreditation is claimed anywhere on the site — there is no LegitScript, NABP or pharmacy-accreditation badge — and none was verified. The FDA enforcement register returns no entry for Gala or AI Coaching, and the BBB has no profile under any spelling we tried. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Clinical Oversight & Safety
    Critical

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Gala says a state-licensed provider reviews every intake and that medication is prescribed only where a provider judges it appropriate. It states that medical services are delivered by clinicians affiliated with independently owned practices including OpenLoop-affiliated medical groups, and that Gala itself provides administrative, technology and management services and does not provide medical care. No individual clinician is named anywhere on the site. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Sourcing Transparency & Legal Context
    High

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): We work with a wide network of pharmacies across all 50 states. — FDA drug information — Compounding And FDA Questions And Answers, Sep 16, 2025

  • Data Privacy & Security
    Medium

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): A privacy policy is published and the homepage displays a “HIPAA Compliant” badge. The badge is a claim by Gala and is not a certification we can check — HIPAA has no certifying body — so it is recorded as displayed, not as verified. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Pricing Transparency & Value
    Critical

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): From $199/month 28-day supply, or $118/month on the 12-month plan. Charged at checkout — a licensed provider reviews before anything ships, and if they can't prescribe for you, you're refunded in full. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Policy Clarity & Fairness
    High

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): The cancellation and refund terms are published in full and are specific. Gala says billing starts when the intake form is completed; that a cancellation request must arrive at least 72 hours before the billing date or the next cycle is charged; that a patient disqualified by its provider receives a full refund; and, in capitals, that in no other event is a refund issued on cancellation. Refunds, where allowed, are limited to the most recent billing cycle. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Popularity & Momentum
    Medium

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Gala says it has more than 50,000 patients and its pages carry a Trustpilot mark. We could not verify either figure: trustpilot.com returned HTTP 403 to automated retrieval, and the review counters on Gala's own pages render as zero without client-side scripting, so no rating or volume was readable. The claim is recorded as Gala's and the limit is in gaps. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Quality-under-Growth
    Medium

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Nothing adverse is on any public record we could reach: the FDA enforcement register returns no entry for Gala or AI Coaching, and the BBB returns no business profile. Both searches were run with a positive control that discriminates — the same FDA query shape returns entries for MEDVi and Lean Rx. No complaint corpus was reachable, so this records an absence of findings on the registers we can read, not an absence of complaints. — FDA warning-letter register — search for "gala", Sep 22, 2026

  • Access & Speed
    Medium

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Gala publishes its own timings: a five-minute intake for weight loss and a five-to-seven-minute intake for the longevity compounds, an asynchronous provider review with no video call required for longevity, and up to a three-month supply per longevity visit. It says consultations may be synchronous or asynchronous depending on the patient, the state and the medication, and that any video visit is typically only the first session. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Transparency & Disclosure
    Critical

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Two things are disclosed well and two are not. Gala labels compounded GLP-1 as not FDA-approved repeatedly and prominently, including in its own pricing footnote and throughout its FAQ, and it publishes BMI thresholds and the labelled contraindications on the drug pages. Against that: it names no compounding pharmacy, saying only that it works with “a wide network of pharmacies across all 50 states”; it names no individual clinician; and its homepage displays the logos of Harvard Medical School, Columbia University Medical Center and Mount Sinai under a line claiming where its doctors trained and practised, with no clinician named and nothing published to check the affiliation against. — FDA drug information — Compounding And FDA Questions And Answers, Sep 16, 2025

  • Support & Care Model
    Supporting

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Gala says provider messaging, dose adjustments and switching between medication kits are included at no extra cost, and that a higher dose carries no additional charge. It advertises 24/7 access to asynchronous provider messaging. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • IGF-1 Baseline + Follow-up
    High

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Sermorelin isn't appropriate for people with elevated prolactin or IGF-1, uncontrolled diabetes (A1C over 10%), binge drinking (4–5+ drinks per occasion), opiate use, hypothyroidism or thyroid medication use — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Evidence Honesty
    High

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): There's no clinical trial for this compound bundle to cite — so judge us on what's actually different: a licensed provider reviews your intake in minutes, not weeks. — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

  • Sourcing Fork
    High

    Evidence (as scored Sep 23, 2026): Subcutaneous injection, 5x/week, typically at bedtime Built-in 2-week washout every 6 months to help prevent tolerance — galaglp1.com, Sep 22, 2026

Pros & cons

Pros

  • A headline price is published before signup on all three lines, which most of this category does not do
  • GLP-1 eligibility is published before signup at the FDA-labelled thresholds — BMI ≥ 27 with a weight-related condition, or ≥ 30 without
  • Labelled contraindications are published on both GLP-1 drug pages
  • Compounded GLP-1 is labelled not FDA-approved in Gala's own pricing footnote and throughout its FAQ
  • The longevity pages state in Gala's own words that there is no clinical trial for the compound bundle to cite
  • Four HRT routes are offered, including a published non-hormonal path
  • Gala says dose changes, kit switches and provider messaging carry no extra charge

Cons

  • No compounding pharmacy is named on any line, and no 503A or 503B classification is published
  • No individual clinician is named anywhere on the site
  • The homepage displays Harvard, Columbia and Mount Sinai logos under a claim about where its doctors trained, with nothing published to check it against
  • The HRT pages publish four outcome percentages with no source attached
  • The HRT pages never state which regulatory category the hormones fall into — an approved product, or a compounded preparation, though the GLP-1 line is labelled
  • Sermorelin lists elevated IGF-1 as an exclusion but describes no bloodwork that would detect it
  • Billing starts at intake, cancellation requires 72 hours' notice, and outside medical disqualification the published policy is that no refund is issued
  • Two different entry prices are advertised for GLP-1 — $179/month on the homepage and $199/month in the FAQ — on different commitments

Safety

Talk to a licensed clinician

Gala publishes exclusions for sermorelin, which is more than it does for NAD+: the page says the peptide is not appropriate for people with elevated prolactin or IGF-1, uncontrolled diabetes above an A1C of 10%, binge drinking, opiate use, hypothyroidism or thyroid medication use. It publishes no side-effect list. The screening weakness is the IGF-1 exclusion itself — it is listed as disqualifying and nothing on the page describes a test that would detect it, so it rests on what a patient already knows and reports. As with NAD+, this is a compounded injectable that is not FDA-approved, and no dose or concentration is published.

Common side effects

  • Gala does not publish a side-effect list for sermorelin on any page we reviewed

Who should not take it

  • Elevated prolactin or IGF-1
  • Uncontrolled diabetes (A1C over 10%)
  • Binge drinking
  • Opiate use
  • Hypothyroidism or thyroid medication use

The bottom line

Honest about what the evidence does not show and specific about how the protocol runs, which is more than most of this category manages. Ask what happens about the IGF-1 exclusion before starting, because the page lists it as disqualifying and describes no test that would find it.

Frequently asked questions

Does Gala test IGF-1 before prescribing sermorelin?

Nothing on its page says so. Elevated IGF-1 is listed as a reason sermorelin is not appropriate, but no baseline bloodwork is described and the stated follow-up is a quarterly asynchronous questionnaire.

How is it taken?

Gala publishes the protocol: a subcutaneous injection five nights a week, typically at bedtime, with a built-in two-week washout every six months. No dose or concentration is published.

Is sermorelin the same as HGH?

Gala says not, and the distinction it draws is the accurate one: sermorelin is a growth-hormone-releasing peptide that acts on the signal to the pituitary rather than introducing growth hormone directly.

What we couldn't verify

  • Gala names no pharmacy on any of its three lines, saying only that it works with “a wide network of pharmacies across all 50 states” and that ingredients come from FDA-regulated suppliers. No licence number and no 503A or 503B classification appears anywhere on the site. This is an absence on Gala's own pages, confirmed across the homepage, the About FAQ and every product page, not a retrieval failure.
  • Gala says it has more than 50,000 patients and its pages carry a Trustpilot mark. trustpilot.com returned HTTP 403 to automated retrieval on 2026-09-22, and trustpilot.com is recorded `refused` on terms, so no rendered fetch is available either; solving or routing around the block is not a retrieval method this project uses. The counters on Gala's own pages render as zero without client-side scripting, so no rating or volume was readable there. FindDrugs therefore holds no sentiment figure it retrieved itself and publishes none. THIS IS NOT A FINDING THAT THE CLAIM IS FALSE.
  • The federal-docket check ran on 2026-09-21 against the CourtListener REST API v4 (the only sanctioned route — courtlistener.com is refused on terms), with the positive control “Mochi Health” returning 15 records, so the search works. All three queries — “AI Coaching Inc”, “Gala GLP-1” and “Gala Health” — returned records whose case captions contain none of those strings: the matches are case body text about unrelated matters, because the names match ordinary English words. That is TOO GENERIC TO BE EVIDENCE and supports no claim in either direction. There is no measured absence here, and nothing on any Gala page says there is.
  • Gala's homepage displays the three institutions' logos under a line claiming where its doctors trained and practised. No clinician is named anywhere on the site, and nothing is published that would let the affiliation be checked — no name, no credential, no institution-side listing. The claim is recorded as one Gala makes and is not repeated as established anywhere in this review.
  • The page publishes hot flashes resolved at eight weeks, sleep improvement, mood and anxiety relief and bone-loss reduction as percentages, with no source attached to any of them. FindDrugs holds no record for these figures and does not repeat them as findings; they are reported as claims Gala makes.
  • Gala labels its GLP-1 line as not FDA-approved repeatedly and prominently, but the hormone pages carry no equivalent statement. They describe the products as “bioidentical”, which is a marketing term covering both FDA-approved products and compounded preparations, so the question is unresolved on Gala's own pages.
  • Gala's sermorelin page lists elevated prolactin or IGF-1 among the conditions that make the peptide inappropriate, but nothing on the page describes a baseline IGF-1 draw or any bloodwork, and the stated follow-up is a quarterly asynchronous questionnaire. Whether a test happens inside the intake is not published.
  • Gala says licensed providers in all 50 states across each of its three lines. That statement was not verified against state licence records; no such record was retrieved for this review.
