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 #400 · C
Strengths
- Full compounded GLP-1 lineup — semaglutide and tirzepatide in injection, oral and orally-dissolving-tablet forms, plus microdoses
- Names its compounding pharmacy partner (Casa Pharma RX), which is independently listed in our pharmacy registry
- No monthly membership, cancel anytime, free discreet shipping; HSA/FSA eligible with buy-now-pay-later plans
- Serves patients in all 50 states via a private online consultation
Where it loses points
- 'All sales are final' — no refunds once medication has left the pharmacy
- Exact price is plan-dependent, shown after you pick a product; advertised 'starting at $269', with a lower $140 intro on oral semaglutide
- References LegitScript but without an independently verifiable seal — we couldn't confirm certification
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name (Wegovy/Zepbound) options
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-reviewed or approved — a different evidence and regulatory tier than brand-name
