Graded #466 · C
Strengths
- Dose-banded monthly pricing published on-site ($249–$649/mo across tiers)
- Both a semaglutide-range and a tirzepatide-range (GLP-1/GIP) option, plus microdosing
- Medication included in the monthly price with free fast shipping when prescribed
- Broad reach claimed (over 40 states)
Where it loses points
- Molecules not named on-site (only 'Personalized GLP-1') — compounded status is inferred
- No FDA compounded-medication disclaimer published
- No named compounding pharmacy partner — prescriptions are patient-directed
- LegitScript certification, medical director, and full state list not disclosed
- Pricier than several compounded competitors
Graded #338 · C
Strengths
- Both molecules are priced on one page, each quoted as medication and programme charge included rather than as a bare drug price
- A six-month commitment brings tirzepatide down to $133/mo, and the term is published rather than hidden
- The first month of the membership is free
Where it loses points
- A $75/mo membership is marketed as a separate product, and whether it is charged on top of the $149 medication rate is not stated anywhere we could find
- The $133/mo tirzepatide rate advertised on the homepage requires a six-month commitment; the month-to-month rate is $224
- Both figures are 'starting at' rates, so the cost of a titrated dose is not published
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
