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

- State availability is not published on the site
