Graded #266 · 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 #103 · C
Strengths
- Oral semaglutide dropper option plus injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide, with a brand-name upgrade path
- Named Medical Director (Dr. Ruth Cohen) and 24-7 doctor messaging
- Quiz-based intake with fast three to five day shipping
Where it loses points
- Brand-inclusive GLP-1 program is expensive, starting around 1,299 dollars
- States served are not published on the site
- Support phone line uses a UK format, and the compounding pharmacy is not named
