Graded #227 · C
Strengths
- Vertically integrated — it is both the clinical practice and its own 503A Texas compounding pharmacy, a clear supply chain
- Aggressive $79 first-month intro pricing, competitive despite being Texas-only
- Texas patients can consolidate GLP-1, hair, skin, and sexual wellness under one practice
- Phone support published with a Houston area code
- Same-day provider review, faster than 24–48hr competitors
Where it loses points
- Texas only — patients in the other 49 states and DC can't use it
- No tirzepatide — semaglutide only, so those wanting the higher-magnitude option must look elsewhere
- LegitScript certification status not disclosed
- No named medical director — only "doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists"
- FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not visible on the homepage
