Graded #154 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options available
- LegitScript certified (#368688)
- Compounded semaglutide from $99 — competitive pricing
Where it loses points
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on site)
- Also a broader health platform (sexual health, energy)
Graded #240 · C
Strengths
- Names its dispensing pharmacy in full, with address and phone: VialsRX in Houston, Texas
- Names its medical group, Lone Star Virtual Health PLLC, and gives a provider contact
- Standard prices published openly alongside the promotional rate, so the real ongoing cost is visible
- Cancel in one click from the patient portal, with no contracts and no cancellation fees
- Peptide line priced openly, including NAD+ and sermorelin
Where it loses points
- Headline $100 and $160 rates are limited to the first 20 patients; standard rates are $149 and $249
- No LegitScript certification is claimed or displayed
- Several peptide products are advertised as coming soon rather than available
- No published refund policy beyond the no-cancellation-fee statement
