- LegitScript certified with 4.8/5 Trustpilot score from 5,400+ reviews and 100K+ patients
- No hidden fees, no required recurring commitment, full refund if not prescribed
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved individual drugs
- No labs or dedicated coaching disclosed on public pages
- Only 44 states served — AK, MA, MS, NJ, RI, and VT excluded despite homepage '50 states' claim
- Dose-tier pricing not published; only starting prices visible without quiz
- Shopify-based store rather than a dedicated health platform
Graded #284 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
