Graded #87 · C
Strengths
- Licensed in all 50 states
- Unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included in the plan
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, injectable or oral
- Medication delivery typically in under four business days
Where it loses points
- Compounds bundle NAD, B-12 and L-Carnitine rather than a single-ingredient GLP-1
- Does not publicly name its compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Full compounded GLP-1 lineup — semaglutide and tirzepatide in injection, oral and orally-dissolving-tablet forms, plus microdoses
- Names its compounding pharmacy partner (Casa Pharma RX), which is independently listed in our pharmacy registry
- No monthly membership, cancel anytime, free discreet shipping; HSA/FSA eligible with buy-now-pay-later plans
- Serves patients in all 50 states via a private online consultation
Where it loses points
- 'All sales are final' — no refunds once medication has left the pharmacy
- Exact price is plan-dependent, shown after you pick a product; advertised 'starting at $269', with a lower $140 intro on oral semaglutide
- References LegitScript but without an independently verifiable seal — we couldn't confirm certification
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
