Graded #251 · 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 #305 · C
Strengths
- Full price list published openly, by medication and by commitment length, with no intake required
- Offers both compounded and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound in one place
- Oral semaglutide tablets available as well as injections
- Full refund if a provider disqualifies you before medication is ordered
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Billed per 4 weeks, not per month, which is 13 charges a year rather than 12
- You are charged for the first period as soon as you complete the intake form, before a clinician has reviewed you
- Refunds stop once medication is ordered, and for new patients with no video visit that is at intake submission
- Cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date or you are charged for another cycle
- Bundle refunds are recalculated at the standard non-bundled rate, so the multi-month discount is clawed back
