Graded #406 · C
Strengths
- Broadest menu in the directory — compounded sema/tirz injection, oral sema, brand Ozempic and Mounjaro, Sermorelin, MIC/B12
- Consistent pricing at all dosages — flat rate, no escalation as you titrate up
- Compounded oral semaglutide at $125/mo is competitive for a niche most providers don't offer
- Free expedited shipping included
- Phone support published (uncommon among DTC platforms)
Where it loses points
- States served not listed — can't confirm coverage in your state without contacting support
- LegitScript status not disclosed — no badge or verifiable ID
- FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not displayed
- Medical director / clinical lead not named — only generic 'certified healthcare providers'
- Pharmacy partner not named; 503A vs 503B unspecified
Graded #187 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
Where it loses points
- The advertised rates are 'as low as' figures footnoted 'based on plan structure and eligibility', and the plan selector sits behind the medical intake — the rate you are offered is not knowable before you hand over a medical history
- A $24.99 provider consultation fee is charged on top, and the refund policy deducts $200 for 'clinical coordination and account setup'
- The homepage advertises 'no long-term commitments or cancellation fees' while the terms require the membership fee to be paid 'in a single sum', call it non-refundable and refer to a 'Membership Term'
- The only figure smaller than the advertised rate is a $29 CareCredit/Klarna instalment, which is a financing payment rather than the price of a month of medication
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
