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 #78 · C
Strengths
- The starter rate and the standing rate are both published, so the step-up is visible before signing up
- No membership fees and no hidden costs, stated as such
- The dose ladder is published: four weeks at 0.25 mg then four weeks at 0.5 mg
- Brand-name routes are priced openly, at retail
Where it loses points
- The $74 rate is a two-month starter plan billed as $149 up front, and it is open only to patients new to GLP-1 medication; the standing monthly rate is $149
- Tirzepatide has no equivalent standing discount — $299/mo is the ongoing rate
- Brand-name routes are priced at retail: Wegovy $1,839 and Zepbound $1,498
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
