Graded #152 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
Where it loses points
- Limited public information on program details
Graded #252 · C
Strengths
- Covers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and can prescribe brand-name GLP-1s when clinically appropriate.
- LegitScript-certified (seal #50716646), available in all 50 states, with tiered pricing shown before checkout.
- No membership fee and free expedited shipping on all orders; online intake with no appointment required in many cases.
- Prices drop with longer commitments (semaglutide to $149/mo, tirzepatide to $224/mo on a 12-month plan).
Where it loses points
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or its clinical partner medical group, so the fulfillment chain is not verifiable.
- Pricing is described as illustrative and may change by dose, pharmacy availability, and eligibility — final cost shows only at checkout.
- Very new brand (2026, trademark pending) spanning many verticals, with a short track record in GLP-1 care.
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved or therapeutically equivalent to Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.
