Graded #164 · C

Strengths

  • Three-GLP-1 lineup including liraglutide — rare in DTC and useful for patients sensitive to newer molecules
  • Aggressive $99/mo starting tier with all doses included
  • Multi-product platform (GLP-1, longevity, vitamin injectables, men's health, bundles)
  • HSA/FSA accepted — uncommon for compounded GLP-1
  • St. Petersburg, FL location and phone (305-930-8817) for accountability

Where it loses points

  • 503A/503B pharmacy partner not named
  • Full states-served list not disclosed
  • No named medical director
  • FDA compounded-medication disclaimer not prominently displayed
  • Corporate legal entity not disclosed
Velvet Rx

Graded #381 · C

Strengths

  • Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
  • First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
  • Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
  • FSA/HSA eligible
  • Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1

Where it loses points

  • Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
  • No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
  • No legal entity name disclosed
  • No physical address disclosed
  • Compounding pharmacy partner not named
