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 #293 · C

- Starting at $199/mo on a 6-month program, with the CGM included at no extra cost
- Free rapid shipping; HSA/FSA eligible
- Real-time glucose insights and app coaching to help sustain results after GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Headline price is a 6-month-program rate, not month-to-month
- Only semaglutide is shown in the program; tirzepatide availability is not confirmed
- Compounding pharmacy partner and state availability are not published on the landing page
