Graded #351 · C
Strengths
- Low-cost entry point: 199 dollars for a full 8-week semaglutide starter with B12
- Direct shipping with no recurring monthly fees
- Operates from a physical Texas medical practice with a published phone number
Where it loses points
- Semaglutide only; no tirzepatide offered
- Available in select states only, which are not enumerated
- Thin public information and compounding pharmacy not named on the site
Graded #454 · C
Strengths
- Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
- Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
- Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject
Where it loses points
- Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
- Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
- Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation
