Graded #340 · C
Strengths
- Both injectable and needle-free oral tablet forms of semaglutide and tirzepatide
- LegitScript certified
- Transparent cash-pay pricing with cancel-anytime subscription
- Legal entity and address publicly disclosed (Ascend Vitality LLC, Sheridan, WY)
Where it loses points
- All medications are compounded — FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety/effectiveness
- No named compounding pharmacy partner disclosed
- No public state-by-state availability list (homepage cites exclusions: LA, MS, KS, NM, WV)
- Per-dose/titration pricing not published; only 'starting at' prices shown
Graded #48 · C+
Strengths
- Published plan prices identify their upfront-payment requirement
- Medication, provider access, applicable supplies and shipping included if prescribed
- Compounded injectable semaglutide and oral options listed
Where it loses points
- The $197 semaglutide headline requires $2,364 upfront, not monthly payments
- The listed $234 tirzepatide offer is oral compounded medication, not an injectable quote
- Multi-month balances may remain payable after cancellation; medical-discontinuation refunds require documentation and approval, and dispensed medication is excluded
Also worth a look

CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). CoreAge Rx advertises flat dose pricing for compounded injections, with no membership fee; its consultation-fee and refund deadlines deserve a close read before paying.
