Graded #258 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
- Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
- Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
Where it loses points
- $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
Graded #113 · C
Strengths
- Available to eligible patients in all 50 states
- Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus an oral semaglutide option
- Intake and provider visits run through OpenLoop Health, an established telehealth network
Where it loses points
- Full per-drug pricing is not shown before intake; only an 'as low as 179/month' starting rate is published
- No fill pharmacy or named medical director is publicly listed
- Support appears limited to email, with no phone number or hours published
