Metabolic Research Center | St. Augustine

I’ve worked with Tessa the most who is wonderful! But from Level level time to time I’ve had the other girls that work there and they’re all really great to work with. They put you at ease . Very comfortable environment. I started in August 2025 and it is now February 2026 and I lost 30 pounds and it’s all because of my effort of course but their program which is phenomenal; I think. I don’t feel like I’m doing anything unhealthy or fearful because they make sure that they provide you with supplements and healthy products to make this process a healthy process to lose weight. They definitely do their part to help you lose weight, but you have to do your part for sure ; otherwise it won’t work. This is not a quick fix. The best part is that it’s a healthy approach to lose weight. So if you’re serious about losing weight, this is the place I would recommend.

I have been a client at Metabolic Research Center for approximately six years and estimate that I have spent $35,000 there during that time. I have also referred between six and eight people to the clinic. If those numbers are inaccurate, the research center is welcome to correct me. I chose to continue doing business with them because they are local, even though their pricing is higher than online options. I wanted to support a local provider rather than order from far less expensive online pharmacies. Unfortunately, I have now had two experiences where I believe I received a bad batch of semaglutide, the compounded version of Ozempic. The first time this occurred, they acknowledged the issue and offered a discount, which I appreciated. The second time, I was told no adjustment could be made and that all medication batches are thoroughly tested prior to release. I asked if they would like for me to provide the bad bottle back to them for testing and she said she would check with her supervisor and she never responded, so finally 8 days later I pinged her again and again she didn't mention wanting the bad bottle back for testing. This response was especially disappointing given my long history with the clinic. What stood out most was the shift in how I was treated. The staff are friendly and responsive when placing an order, but when I raised a legitimate concern, I felt as though I was treated like a problem simply for having a problem. After six years, I believed there was a relationship there, not just a transaction. After this experience, I also looked into whether others had encountered similar issues and found multiple discussions on Reddit raising concerns about the CRE-8 pharmacy they use. Several individuals described medication that appeared to have little to no effect, with some comparing it to “a bottle of water.” While I understand these are anecdotal reports, seeing them after my own experience was concerning. I have since done comparison shopping and confirmed that the same quality, quantity, and dosage can be obtained from reputable online pharmacies for significantly less cost. Going forward, I will be purchasing through an online provider. I regret that it has come to this, as I genuinely wanted to continue supporting a local business. My girlfriend gets hers at GalaGLP1 online for $179 a month! I just ordered it from there. This review reflects my personal experience and the factors that led to my decision.

I am so grateful to everyone here. I was unhealthily and gaining weight. My dr was putting me on so many medications that just seemed to make everything worse. I decided to take control of things and follow the program and lost the extra weight and am off all medications. My dr is so happy with all my blood work. I have been able maintain this for over a year and going strong.

Tessa was so nice and informed me of new products and sales. I am glad to be back!
