Graded #129 · C
Strengths
- Free consultation and free shipping nationwide
- Ships compounded GLP-1s to all 50 states
- Physician-supervised intake before any prescription
- One platform for weight loss plus peptides, testosterone, ED and hair
Where it loses points
- Premium pricing — compounded semaglutide starts higher than most competitors
- Sells retatrutide, an investigational molecule the FDA has not approved
- Prescribing clinicians and compounding-pharmacy partner not named
- No insurance accepted — cash-pay only
- Operating entity and credentials lightly disclosed
Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
