Full Review
Founded in 2021 and based in Orange County, CA, Better U delivers at-home oral ketamine (a Schedule III controlled substance) alongside integration coaching, medication-weaning support, talk therapy, and optional add-ons like NAD+, peptides, and ED treatment. Packages range from a $500 five-session introductory bundle to a $2,076 27-session extended program, with per-session financing available through Affirm and Denefits. As a natural successor to Innerwell (closed August 2026), Better U has built an independent reputation on its own merits, with strong Trustpilot sentiment (4.5/5 across 434 reviews) praising its holistic, integration-focused model. Reported friction includes slow response times outside business hours, pharmacy coordination issues, and an additional $49 fee for extra provider or integration sessions.
