Graded #494 · C
Strengths
- Stated nationwide coverage (50 states + DC)
- Metabolic-framework positioning rather than single-product
- Clinician-supervised dosing rather than a fixed protocol
- Adaptive monitoring approach
Where it loses points
- No pricing shown publicly — you must complete intake to see cost
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- GLP-1 molecules not specified (semaglutide vs tirzepatide vs oral)
- No LegitScript badge visible on the homepage
- No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer on the pages reviewed
Graded #201 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 starting around $95/mo (12-month plan paid upfront)
- Free shipping and clinical evaluation included
- Membership fee refunded in full if you're not approved
- Also offers peptide therapy such as sermorelin
- 100% online with licensed providers — no clinic visit
Where it loses points
- Billing runs on a 28-day cycle rather than a calendar month — thirteen charges a year, so the $145 tirzepatide rate is $1,885 a year, an effective $157/mo
- The terms call the charge a 'membership fee' while the marketing carousel says 'No Membership Fees Ever'
- Prices are rendered entirely in JavaScript; the page's HTML body is empty, so nothing is readable without running the bundle
- Shipped compounded medication is non-refundable
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
