Graded #407 · 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 #289 · C
Strengths
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with every dose priced the same so cost does not rise as you titrate up.
- LegitScript-certified (seal #51079066) and names both its 503A compounding pharmacy, VialsRx, and its provider network, Beluga Health.
- Transparent tiered pricing with a real month-to-month option; consultation, medication, and free expedited shipping included, no membership.
- Available in all 50 states with same-day provider review; no insurance needed and HSA/FSA accepted.
Where it loses points
- Very new (2026 launch) with a thin track record; the site still shows a Webflow template credit and a leftover Cora reference in its Terms.
- The cheapest headline rates ($99 semaglutide / $135 tirzepatide) require a 12-month prepay; true month-to-month is $175 and $225.
- Both product pages currently display an out-of-stock status, so availability may be inconsistent.
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or therapeutically equivalent to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
