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
Graded #454 · C
Strengths
- Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
- Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
- Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject
Where it loses points
- Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
- Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
- Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation
