Graded #111 · C
Strengths
- $129/month compounded semaglutide is among the cheapest in the US market
- $169/month compounded tirzepatide is competitive with established platforms
- Complimentary workout and dietary plans bundled with medication — most peers don't
- LegitScript verified
- US-licensed clinicians
Where it loses points
- Parent company / legal entity not publicly disclosed
- State of incorporation not disclosed
- Per-state availability not listed — confirm your state ships before committing
- Pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Unclear whether lab work is included
Graded #263 · C
Strengths
- Names its pharmacy partner (DiRx Health, Ft Lauderdale FL) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
- Names its clinical network (Beluga Health) — you can research the platform handling your prescriptions
- All 50 states explicitly listed on the FAQ — uncommon vs peers that just say 'nationwide'
- Patient-friendly refunds — full refund if a provider disqualifies you, partial if a weaker dose is prescribed
- LegitScript verification badge displayed; pharmacy claims NABP-accredited facilities
Where it loses points
- Operating legal entity not disclosed — only a Sheridan, WY registered-agent-style address surfaced
- Dose pricing not itemized — only 'starting at $229' semaglutide and 'starting at $279' tirzepatide
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- Lab work requirements not specified, and consultation fee not broken out from medication cost
