Site position #166 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options available
- Compounded semaglutide from $99 — competitive pricing
Where it loses points
- The LegitScript seal ID this provider publishes, #368688, does not resolve on LegitScript's own CDN — checked August 2026, alongside six seal IDs from other providers that returned normally in the same pass
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on site)
- Also a broader health platform (sexual health, energy)
Site position #53 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $83/mo and tirzepatide from $97/mo, billed as one all-in monthly price
- Brand Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (oral GLP-1) available on the same platform
- US-licensed provider reviews requests within 24 hours — no video visit required
- You aren't charged until a provider approves; checkout places an authorization hold only
- LegitScript-certified; works exclusively with state-licensed US 503A compounding pharmacies
Where it loses points
- Both figures are 'as low as' rates and the qualifying term is not published anywhere — the checkout is gated, so whether $97 is month-to-month or a multi-month prepay cannot be established before signing up
- Brand-name routes are priced separately and do carry a fee: $49/mo membership plus medication from $149/mo for Foundayo and Wegovy, from $299/mo for Zepbound
- No state count is published, and a state-variant waitlist implies some states are unserved
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
