Graded #307 · 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 #222 · C
Strengths
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 50400451) plus a named board-certified physician (Dr. Michael Wasef, MD) licensed in all 50 states
- Full GLP-1 lineup: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus gentler microdose entry options
- Generous support — unlimited care-team messaging, monthly check-ins, dosage adjustments, and 1 free blood test per quarter on the GLP-1 protocols
- Available in all 50 states with free priority shipping, discreet packaging, and roughly 48-hour delivery
- Transparent multi-month pricing with 50% off your first month; semaglutide protocols are compounded with B12
Where it loses points
- The advertised $299 is a struck-through anchor price, not a starting point: the real month-to-month rate is $299, a first month runs $149 at 50% off, and the $199 rate needs six months
- The page states its pricing is 'introductory and subject to change', so none of these figures is committed to
- The tirzepatide price is published the same way, against a struck-through anchor, and we could not establish which figure a buyer actually pays
- A separate semaglutide microdose is sold at $99/mo — a sub-therapeutic protocol, not a cheaper weight-loss dose
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
