Graded #267 · 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 #248 · C
Strengths
- All-inclusive pricing — physician review, supplies, and free shipping bundled into one monthly price; no charge until prescribed
- Compounded semaglutide from $187/mo and tirzepatide from $235/mo (lower on 3- and 6-month plans)
- Pharmacy-grade 503A/503B compounding with third-party batch testing; supplies (syringes, swabs) included
- Physician-led with 24/7 ongoing provider access and monthly check-ins; also offers sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione
Where it loses points
- Best rates require a 3- or 6-month commitment; month-to-month starts at $187 (semaglutide) / $235 (tirzepatide)
- Doesn't name its specific compounding pharmacy partners
- No explicit state-coverage list or LegitScript certification shown on the site
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
