Graded #103 · C
Strengths
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and needle-free sublingual drops for people who dislike needles
- Transparent monthly pricing shown upfront, no insurance required, and free discreet delivery
- Also carries brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro through its provider network
Where it loses points
- Does not publicly name its dispensing pharmacy or display a LegitScript seal, so third-party accreditation is unverified
- Sublingual GLP-1 absorption relies on the company proprietary PermeAct technology and is not FDA-reviewed for weight loss
- State availability is not published on the site
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
Also worth a look
