Graded #311 · C
Strengths
- Pricing fully published and bundled: $89 first month, then $199/mo all-in — more transparent than most compounded brands
- LegitScript Certified
- Care-inclusive model: consults, monthly monitoring, and secure messaging rather than Rx-only
- Unusually candid about the limited evidence base for microdosing
Where it loses points
- The advertised $89 is a first-month new-patient rate; every month after it is $199
- This is a 1 mg microdose programme and nothing else — no labelled therapeutic dose is sold, so it is not an alternative to a full-dose prescription
- No state count is published, only 'most US states', confirmed at intake
- The site's own comparison table calls 2.4 mg/week the tirzepatide 'standard full dose'; 2.4 mg is the semaglutide maintenance dose, and tirzepatide is labelled 2.5-15 mg/week
- Compounded tirzepatide is not an FDA-approved finished product
Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
