Graded #194 · 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 #325 · C
Strengths
- One of the few telehealth providers offering compounded liraglutide as a daily alternative to weekly injections
- Semaglutide is compounded with B12, and the combination is stated plainly
- Publishes a street address and a staffed phone line with hours
- States openly that telemedicine is limited to jurisdictions where its providers are licensed, rather than claiming all 50
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Advertises Trusted by 150k Americans and Excellent 4.8 with 150k happy customers, and neither figure is attributable to a verifiable review profile
- No state list is published, only a statement that coverage is limited and a note that partner pharmacies may operate in all 50 states
- The struck-through $199 next to $149 on the homepage reads as a discount but the two prices are different medications
- Claims No Hidden Fees and No Monthly Membership while the Terms state subscriptions automatically renew
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only US-Certified Pharmacy
