Graded #121 · C
Strengths

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

Where it loses points

- Available in multiple states but the full list is not published on the homepage
- The compounding pharmacy is FDA-registered but not named
