Graded #234 · C
Strengths
- Transparent self-pay pricing with no insurance required
- Offers both compounded and brand-name semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Uniform compounded pricing across all doses with supplies included
- Publishes its full list of covered states
Where it loses points
- Available in 21 states rather than nationwide
- Does not name a compounding pharmacy or list an accreditation seal
- Brand medications carry a separate 150 dollar consult fee
Graded #440 · C
Strengths
- Free, no-cost, no-obligation online eligibility quiz before any commitment
- Offers a choice of a weekly compounded GLP-1 injection or a daily oral option
- Fully online — assessment, provider review, and home delivery with ongoing support
Where it loses points
- Runs on the CareValidate white-label platform and isn't the medical provider itself — a support@carevalidate.com address is exposed on the site
- Pricing isn't shown publicly; the cost and the specific compounded molecule appear only after you complete the eligibility quiz
- The states served, pharmacy partner and any LegitScript/503A certification aren't disclosed on the public site
- Markets 'up to 22.5% of body weight' — a trial figure for branded tirzepatide, not a guaranteed or compounded-specific outcome
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
