Graded #190 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat program price, not tiered by dose
- Transparent pricing: $149 first month, then $199/mo (or $165/mo on the 3-month plan)
- 90-day money-back guarantee on GLP-1 treatment
- Dose adjustments at weeks 2, 4, and 8 included at no extra cost
- Named board-certified physicians (Dr. Amber Patel, Dr. Scott Sanderson, Dr. Scott Nass)
Where it loses points
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- Specific 503A pharmacy partner is not named publicly
- State coverage is stated inconsistently on the site (claims both 50 and 46 states)
- No insurance billing — cash-pay only
Graded #268 · C
Strengths
- One bundled price covers the provider visit, prescription, shipping and ongoing check-ins, with zero consultation charges
- States you are charged nothing if a provider does not approve you for treatment
- Promises no dose-change surcharges — 'the price we quote is the price you pay, period'
- Semaglutide from $149/mo is competitive against the wider compounded market
- Offers a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program alongside standard semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Displays a Trustpilot 'Rated Excellent 4.8 / 5' badge, but no Trustpilot profile exists for the domain or the brand
- Also claims '4.9 based on 300+ Google reviews'; no Google listing for the business could be located
- Its own homepage figures conflict — '10k+' members in the hero versus '1,743+ patients supported' in the counters below
- The actual plan price is confirmed only after provider review, and the three treatment pages publish no prices at all
- No compounding pharmacy, medical group or individual clinician is named anywhere on the site
