Graded #448 · C
Strengths
- Tirzepatide-focused (largest effect-size compounded GLP-1)
- Wide dose range available
- Physician-supervised telemedicine model
Where it loses points
- Semaglutide is available only on request — the site and default plans are tirzepatide-only
- Less brand recognition than Henry Meds, Mochi, or SkinnyRx
Graded #253 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states plus DC
- Manage GLP-1, anti-aging peptides, and sexual-health medications on one account
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide
- Independent provider group (Dr Telx) named in the Terms of Service
Where it loses points
- No per-dose or monthly pricing published — only a "$199 to get started" hook; you can't compare costs before intake
- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP accreditation shown on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy not named — only "U.S. pharmacies"
- Terms of Service reads like generic boilerplate, including copy-paste language about women's health issues — suggests low template hygiene
- Delaware governing law for disputes despite a California corporate address
