Graded #453 · C
Strengths
- Unusually broad GLP-1 lineup — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral tablets and injection, plus microdosing and longevity add-ons
- Online process with licensed-provider oversight, virtual consults, progress tracking and home delivery
- Oral tablet options for people who would rather not inject
Where it loses points
- Prices are not shown publicly — you only see costs after creating an account, so you cannot compare value upfront
- Labels its oral semaglutide 'research-grade' — wording usually tied to research/non-prescription peptides; confirm it is prescribed for human use
- Does not name its compounding pharmacy or list the states it serves; the listed address is a private mailbox (PMB), not a clinic
- Compounded GLP-1 only — no brand-name or insurance options; small, lightly documented operation
Graded #497 · C
Strengths
- 13 states listed explicitly (VA, FL, AZ, MA, HI, IA, MD, NM, WA, KS, NY, DC, ID)
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered — switch molecules without switching platforms
- Multi-service platform — GLP-1, virtual urgent care, and non-controlled refills with one provider
- Cash-pay with a superbill option for out-of-network reimbursement
- Founder Ahmed Emam is named in the footer
Where it loses points
- Legal entity name not disclosed anywhere — can't be verified in a state registry
- Pricing not shown before booking — you must enter the intake flow to see the fee
- Pharmacy partner not named; model appears to fill at your preferred retail pharmacy
- No medical director or prescribing clinician named — only 'board-certified providers'
- No LegitScript badge, BBB profile, or HIPAA/SOC 2 seals displayed
