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 #403 · C
Strengths
- Names its compounding pharmacy (Olympia Pharmacy, a 503A compounding pharmacy) and legal entity (Risen Labs LLC)
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as clinician-guided once-weekly injections
- Focused clinical intake covering weight loss, men's health, and hormone protocols
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 pricing is not published; it appears only after you complete the clinical intake
- Available only to patients in New York and Colorado
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
- No LegitScript certification is displayed on the site
