Graded #186 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide (from $299/mo) and tirzepatide (from $399/mo), plus microdosing tirzepatide programs
- Lab testing and personalized protocols with a medical team; free initial consultation
- Very thorough legal/policy suite (Terms, Privacy, EUA, Shipping, Returns, CCPA)
- Broad longevity menu: hormones (HRT/TRT), NAD+, peptides, IV therapy, sexual health, diagnostics
Where it loses points
- Premium pricing — higher than budget compounded-GLP-1 competitors (lowest rates need 'preferred pricing')
- Headline GLP-1 pricing is 'starting at'; full cost depends on dose and program length
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
Graded #314 · C
Strengths
- Names its pharmacy partner — Rush Pharmacy, a licensed 503A compounder — which many compounded-GLP-1 telehealths won't disclose
- LegitScript certified with flat, published monthly pricing, free shipping, and no insurance required
- Broad access: 47 states with US-licensed physicians and transparent cash-pay pricing
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy or Zepbound) option
- Headline $139/$219 rates are first-quarter intro prices billed quarterly; ongoing month-to-month is $199/$299
- Not available in California, South Carolina, or New Jersey
