- Offers investigational/research compounds (e.g., retatrutide, AOD-9604) that are not FDA-approved
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named ('FDA-registered pharmacies')
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
Graded #367 · C

Where it loses points

- Compounded GLP-1 is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label (per their own notice)
- Longevity and microdose positioning is marketing; evidence varies by use
