Seven precision health programs — from weight management to clinical skincare — powered by patented formulations, prescribed by licensed providers, and delivered to your door.
Find Your ProtocolArete Biotech isn't another telehealth company selling generic compounds. We're a science-first platform with proprietary medicine across the full spectrum of health optimization. Built for people who want real science, not wellness trends.
Each program is backed by patented formulations, prescribed by a licensed provider, and compounded at our LegitScript-certified pharmacy.
GLP-1 drugs lose weight — but up to 40% is muscle. AreteLean™ is a patent-pending combination designed to preserve lean mass while you lose fat. Not a GLP-1 with extras. A new approach to what weight loss should look like.

There are dozens of companies that will sell you a generic compound through an app. Arete isn't one of them.
Our combination protocols are proprietary and patent-protected. Nobody else can offer these formulations because we developed them. While other companies compete on who can ship the same commodity compound faster, we compete on the medicine itself.
Arete was built by scientists and researchers — not marketers. Our founding team holds pending patents and brings decades of biotech R&D experience. Every formulation decision starts with published data. Every protocol has a clinical rationale.
No AI rubber-stamping. No auto-approved prescriptions. A licensed medical provider evaluates your health history, your labs, and your goals before designing your protocol. Not everyone qualifies — and that's intentional.
Your medication is compounded at a LegitScript-certified, state-licensed 503A pharmacy. Individually prescribed. Not mass-produced. Not pulled from a warehouse shelf. Made for you, shipped to you.
Select from seven precision health programs. Not sure where to start? Our assessment will help match you.
Answer questions about your health history, goals, and biomarkers. Designed to give your provider the information they need. ~5 minutes.
A licensed provider reviews your assessment and designs a personalized protocol using our patented formulations. This is a real clinical evaluation.
Compounded at our certified pharmacy and shipped to you. Ongoing check-ins ensure your protocol evolves as you progress.
Arete Biotech exists because the standard approach to telehealth prescribing has a problem: everyone gets the same thing. The same semaglutide. The same testosterone. The same finasteride. One compound, one dose schedule, minimal follow-up.
We took a different approach. Our research team develops proprietary multi-compound protocols designed to address specific clinical gaps in standard monotherapy — with pending patents spanning combination formulations, metabolic support protocols, and novel delivery approaches.
The difference isn't the service. It's the science.
The biggest problem with GLP-1 therapy isn't efficacy — it's that up to 40% of the weight lost is lean body mass. Muscle, not just fat. No FDA-approved GLP-1 product addresses this. AreteLean™ does. Our patent-pending formulations combine GLP-1 with compounds that target skeletal muscle preservation through a novel mechanism — not just appetite suppression with add-ons. It's a fundamentally different approach to what weight loss therapy should be. Available as a weekly injectable or daily sublingual troche.
Start Weight ManagementTargeted peptide protocols for recovery, tissue repair, and optimization — prescribed by a provider who understands the pharmacology. Arete offers clinical-grade protocols for specific outcomes, not generic stacks assembled from trends. Every peptide we prescribe is legally compoundable under current FDA guidelines.
Start Peptide TherapyHormone levels decline with age, and the effects — fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, reduced performance — can be significant. Our patent-pending Arete-T™ line offers three targeted testosterone combinations — Arete-T Cardio for cardiovascular protection, Arete-T Balance for estrogen management, and Arete-T Repair for tissue recovery — plus HRT for women, thyroid optimization, and DHEA. Designed around your labs and your symptoms. Our approach adjusts with you over time, because hormone health isn't a one-time fix.
Start Hormone OptimizationSexual health is health. Arete prescribes evidence-based protocols including our patent-pending LibidoRestore™ formulation, optimized Tadalafil/Sildenafil combinations, and Oxytocin-based protocols — all through a clinical framework that treats this with the seriousness it deserves. No awkward chatbot. Real providers, real assessments, real medicine.
Start Sexual HealthOver-the-counter solutions have their ceiling. Arete prescribes clinical-strength hair restoration protocols — Finasteride, Dutasteride, prescription Minoxidil, and custom topical combinations — tailored to your specific pattern and progression. Prescription-grade formulations compounded for your needs, not pulled from a shelf.
Start Hair RestorationNAD+ is a coenzyme essential to mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and DNA repair — and levels decline significantly with age. Arete offers injectable NAD+, sublingual NAD+, and NAD+ precursor protocols designed to support cellular vitality, cognitive performance, and recovery. Clinical-grade NAD+ therapy, prescribed and monitored by a provider.
Start NAD+ TherapyEffective anti-aging skincare starts with prescription-strength active ingredients. Arete's skincare protocols include Tretinoin, Hydroquinone, and advanced mTORC1-selective topicals — targeting skin aging at the cellular pathway level, not just the surface. This is dermatology-grade skincare, compounded for your specific skin profile.
Start Skincare RxThe same scientific rigor. New ways to optimize.
Science-backed daily supplements designed by the same research team that develops our Rx formulations. Every ingredient justified by published evidence. No proprietary blends hiding behind label loopholes.
Clinical-grade skincare that doesn't require a prescription — but is built to the same standard as our Rx formulations. The bridge between medical skincare and daily routine.
Regenerative medicine protocols for tissue repair, joint health, and recovery — developed with the same evidence-based approach that powers every Arete program. Backed by AASCM accreditation standards.
Track, test, and optimize. Integrated biomarker monitoring that connects your lab data directly to your protocols — so your provider can see what's working and adjust in real time.
Arete is a precision health platform offering seven Rx programs — weight management, peptide therapy, hormone optimization, sexual health, hair restoration, NAD+ therapy, and clinical skincare. Each program is powered by patented formulations, prescribed by licensed providers, and compounded by a LegitScript-certified 503A pharmacy. We're a science company that built a healthcare platform, not a tech company that added medicine.
Most telehealth companies prescribe the same generic compounds that any pharmacy can compound. Arete's formulations are proprietary with patents pending — the medicine itself is different. We were founded by scientists, not a marketing team. And we offer seven therapeutic programs from one platform, so your health isn't siloed across five different apps.
Choose a program, complete a health assessment, and a licensed provider reviews your case and designs a personalized protocol. Your medication is compounded specifically for you and shipped monthly. Ongoing provider check-ins ensure your protocol evolves as you progress.
Yes — and this is one of Arete's key advantages. Your provider sees your full health profile and can design protocols that work together. For example, your weight management and hormone optimization protocols can be coordinated rather than prescribed in isolation by different providers.
After your provider approves your protocol, your medication is typically compounded and shipped within 3–5 business days. Ongoing monthly shipments are automatically scheduled.
Our medications are compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy using FDA-approved active pharmaceutical ingredients. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished products — they are individually prescribed by a licensed provider and prepared for a specific patient. This is the same regulated compounding model used widely across telehealth and is legal at both state and federal levels.
Standard GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) cause significant lean mass loss — published data shows up to 40% of weight lost is muscle, not fat. No FDA-approved product addresses this. AreteLean™ is a patent-pending combination that pairs GLP-1 with compounds specifically targeting lean mass preservation — a distinct clinical problem that standard GLP-1 therapy creates but doesn't solve. This isn't repackaged semaglutide. It's a novel formulation designed for a different outcome: lose the fat, keep the muscle.
All peptides we prescribe are legally compoundable under current FDA guidelines and have documented safety profiles in published literature. Every peptide protocol is prescribed by a licensed provider who evaluates your health history, and all compounds are prepared by our licensed pharmacy. As with any prescription medication, individual responses vary and potential considerations are discussed before treatment begins.
We offer individualized hormone replacement protocols for men (testosterone, DHEA) and women (HRT, thyroid optimization). Your protocol is designed around your lab results, symptoms, and goals — and adjusted over time as your levels change. This is ongoing optimization, not a one-time prescription.
Each program operates on a monthly subscription. Pricing includes your compounded medication, provider consultations, progress monitoring, and shipping. Specific pricing is provided after your health assessment, as protocols vary by patient and program. No hidden fees.
No. Arete does not bill insurance. Your subscription covers all costs. Many patients find our programs comparable to or less than the cost of brand-name medications, even with insurance copays.
Yes. You can cancel any program at any time with no cancellation fees. If you've already been charged for the current month, you'll receive that month's shipment and your subscription ends at the close of the billing cycle.
Seven programs. Patented formulations. Licensed providers. One platform built by scientists who believe medicine should be personal, precise, and grounded in evidence.
Find Your ProtocolArete Biotech provides access to licensed medical providers who may prescribe compounded medications. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Individual results vary. All medications require a prescription from a licensed provider following clinical evaluation. Arete does not guarantee specific health outcomes. Prescription therapies may not be appropriate for all patients. Consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
