Graded #92 · C
Strengths

- LegitScript Certified with a publicly verifiable seal
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Transparent pricing across all six product tiers (compounded plus four brand-name)
- All-inclusive pricing — consult, prescription, and shipping with no hidden fees
Where it loses points
- States-served list not disclosed
- 503A/503B pharmacy partner not named (only 'multiple USA-certified pharmacies')
- 503A vs 503B designation not specified
- No named medical director
- Corporate physical address not disclosed
Graded #168 · C
Strengths
- Price Lock Guarantee — your $299 base rate doesn't rise as your dose escalates
- Fast onboarding: roughly 5-minute intake, 24-hour prescription turnaround, 2–4 day shipping
- 24/7 care team access with unlimited clinician messaging included
- LegitScript certified
- Clear Section 503A compounding disclosure on every landing page
Where it loses points
- Not BBB accredited — C+ rating with 10 complaints, mostly shipping delays and support access
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Markets oral tirzepatide, but no FDA-approved oral tirzepatide exists
- Very new company (incorporated May 2024) with a limited track record
- Pharmacy partners not named, so 503A compliance can't be independently verified
