Graded #1 · A−
Strengths
- Flat all-in price with no month-two step-up
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- All 50 states, LegitScript-verified
Where it loses points
- Not the cheapest sticker price
- Compounded only
- Pharmacy partner not yet publicly named
Graded #67 · C
Strengths
- The store and the intake agree with each other, so a reader who starts at the store sees the figure that will be charged
- Names four dispensing pharmacies with addresses and phone numbers
- Runs oral, microdose and injectable GLP-1 lines plus a separate peptide sub-brand, so the menu is unusually wide for the price band
- Unlimited video visits and dietitian check-ins are described as included in every plan
- A full refund is offered if a clinician declines the prescription
Where it loses points
- Tirzepatide is advertised at $169 a month on the marketing site and sold at $339 per four weeks in the store and the intake
- The marketing site says “/mo” and the store bills per four weeks, which is thirteen charges a year rather than twelve
- GLP-1 tablets are advertised at $249 and sold at $279 per four weeks; microdosing is advertised at $96 and sold at $179
- The peptide sub-brand prices the same products differently again — NAD+ at $199 against $229, sermorelin at $175 against $229
- The Terms claim all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. and the footer on the same site says not available in all 50 states
- No clinician, medical group or NPI is named, and no compounding class appears anywhere on the domain
- A dietitian visit is promised on the homepage with an asterisk that resolves to no footnote, and neither the Terms nor the refund policy promises one
