Graded #41 · C
Strengths
- Oral tirzepatide as well as injectable — rare on this board
- Brand Ozempic (from $705/mo) and oral Rybelsus beside the compounded line
- LegitScript certified and HIPAA compliant
- One platform if you also want hair, TRT, sexual health or NAD+
Where it loses points
- The advertised "from $199/mo" is one figure shared across all weight-loss treatments — neither molecule priced separately
- Per-dose pricing is quiz-gated, so a titrated cost cannot be modelled beforehand
- No named clinicians, founding year or parent company disclosed
- Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
Graded #21 · B
Strengths
- $117 sema / $159 tirz
- LegitScript-verified
- Both molecules
Where it loses points
- Only 36 states
- Injection-only
- Monitoring detail sparse
