Graded #263 · C
Strengths
- Names its pharmacy partner (DiRx Health, Ft Lauderdale FL) — buyers can independently verify its licensure
- Names its clinical network (Beluga Health) — you can research the platform handling your prescriptions
- All 50 states explicitly listed on the FAQ — uncommon vs peers that just say 'nationwide'
- Patient-friendly refunds — full refund if a provider disqualifies you, partial if a weaker dose is prescribed
- LegitScript verification badge displayed; pharmacy claims NABP-accredited facilities
Where it loses points
- Operating legal entity not disclosed — only a Sheridan, WY registered-agent-style address surfaced
- Dose pricing not itemized — only 'starting at $229' semaglutide and 'starting at $279' tirzepatide
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- Lab work requirements not specified, and consultation fee not broken out from medication cost
Graded #361 · C
Strengths
- Transparent tiered pricing from $179/mo (microdose semaglutide injection)
- Full compounded range — semaglutide and tirzepatide, injection and oral, microdose and standard
- Free and discreet shipping; 24/7/365 messaging support; 100% online
- US-licensed clinicians and pharmacies; bundle discounts at 3/6/12 months
Where it loses points
- Medications are compounded, not FDA-approved brand-name
- Compounding pharmacy not publicly named
- State availability not published
- Newer brand with limited independent review history
