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 #151 · C
Strengths
- Spanish-first, fully bilingual GLP-1 program tailored to Latino food and lifestyle - a genuinely underserved niche

- Free initial consultation; medications shipped discreetly to your door after a medical evaluation
- Includes 24/7 support, 4 virtual visits a year, and ongoing nutrition coaching
- Physician-supervised program (Utah medical backing) with continuous follow-up
Where it loses points
- Utah-based, and the full list of states served is not published
- Only a '$199/mo starting' price is shown upfront; tirzepatide and oral-semaglutide pricing isn't published
- The compounding pharmacy is not named (a 'provider pharmacies' page exists but lists no name)
- Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- No LegitScript certification displayed
