Graded #84 · C
Strengths
- Broadest GLP-1 formulary here: brand Wegovy and Zepbound, oral Wegovy, plus compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide
- All consulting doctors are certified by The Menopause Society — a rare credential
- STARTGLP1 promo code takes $50 off the first month
- Spans the price range: compounded semaglutide from $70/mo, brand Wegovy from $199/mo (each plus the $99/mo Weight Care fee)
Where it loses points
- Menopause-focused — best for women in menopause or perimenopause, not men or younger patients
- A mandatory $99/mo Alloy Weight Care fee sits on top of every medication price (so the true minimum is ~$169/mo, not $70)
- Compounded semaglutide not available in AL, AR, CA, NV, LA, MS or DC
Graded #375 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Delivery to all 50 states with 1–3 day pharmacy turnaround
Where it loses points
- No visible LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- Also sells non-prescription supplements ('Tirzepatide Weight Loss Supplement', 'Lipo Burn')
- Shopify-based e-commerce storefront — less clinical infrastructure
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 9 September 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
