Graded #169 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Compounded GLP-1 access
Where it loses points
- Limited public information on program details
Graded #363 · C
Strengths
- Publishes an exact exclusion list — all states except Arkansas, Mississippi and New Jersey — rather than a nationwide claim
- States both compounding classes in the Terms, so the class question is answered even though the pharmacy is not named
- Names the prescribing entity and the professional corporation behind it
- Sells two microdose products with their own published price tables rather than only as a discount tier
Where it loses points
- Every headline price is the 48-week commitment rate: $199 against a month-to-month figure of $269, and $299 against $369, with an asterisk that resolves to no footnote
- The same footer, on every page, says both that the service is available in all 50 states and that it is available in all states except three
- The two microdose products publish identical prices for their 4-, 8- and 12-week plans, in the same table format that carries real tiers elsewhere
- The microdose page contradicts itself on dosing frequency inside a single page
- Three unsourced and mutually inconsistent social-proof figures appear across the homepage, the footer and the product pages
- The checkout claims two patient counts for a single day that together exceed the total the site's own badge claims
- No pharmacy is named, and what the price includes is never itemized on any product page
Also worth a look
Another provider to compare: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). CoreAge Rx advertises flat dose pricing for compounded injections, with no membership fee; its consultation-fee and refund deadlines deserve a close read before paying.
