Graded #107 · 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 #386 · C
Strengths
- Real, named local clinic in Houston with hands-on provider support, in-person visits and Google-reviewed patient experiences
- Low entry pricing — semaglutide from $170 and tirzepatide from $200 in month 1, with 3-month bundles ($500 / $600) that cut the effective monthly cost
- Packages include ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery
- Also offers IV hydration and NAD+ if you want broader wellness services in one place
Where it loses points
- Houston/Texas only — no nationwide telehealth, so it is not an option outside the local area
- Dose-escalating pricing climbs steeply (semaglutide reaches $330 by month 5; tirzepatide $425 by month 6)
- Compounding pharmacy is not named, and there is no LegitScript or published clinical-oversight detail
- Small single-location operation with no patient portal — booking and support run through Calendly and direct contact
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name or oral options
