Cielo

Graded #121 · C

Strengths

  • Among the lowest 3-month bundle prices in compounded GLP-1 ($115/mo semaglutide)
  • Single flat price across all doses simplifies titration planning
  • Corporate address (St. Petersburg, FL) and customer-service phone published

Where it loses points

  • No LegitScript, NABP .pharmacy, or HIPAA badge on the home page
  • Pharmacy partner not named (only 'regulated FDA pharmacy partners')
  • State coverage list not published — can't verify all-50-state availability
  • Clinical care runs through MD Integrations, a shared third-party network used by many brands
  • No brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
Iron Med RX

Graded #453 · C

Strengths

  • Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
  • Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
  • Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject

Where it loses points

  • Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
  • Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
  • Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
  • Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation

Also worth a look
