Graded #498 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the full price ladder for all three plan terms — intro month and renewal rate — directly in its FAQ
- Medication is included in the plan price, with no separate pharmacy charge
- States plainly that its compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality'
- Companion app tracks weight, protein and side effects, with medication schedule reminders
- You are not charged unless a provider approves treatment
Where it loses points
- At $449 per 4 weeks, the standing 1-month plan is among the most expensive compounded GLP-1 options we track
- The advertised $129 is the 6-month plan's intro month only — that plan then renews at $1,794 every 24 weeks
- Billed every 4 weeks rather than monthly, which is 13 charges a year instead of 12
- Never names which GLP-1 molecule is dispensed — only 'compounded, non-FDA-approved GLP-1 medications'
- No pharmacy or prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
Graded #160 · C
Strengths
- Flat, all-inclusive monthly pricing with no hidden fees — compounded semaglutide $299/month and tirzepatide $399/month, all doses included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 45936855) plus HIPAA compliance and licensed US physicians
- Multiple options: compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, oral tirzepatide, and phentermine
- DNA-calibrated dosing option that tailors the GLP-1 dose to how you metabolize it
- Broad coverage in 47 states and DC, with free shipping and cancel-anytime plans
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Not available in Alaska, Mississippi, or New Jersey
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- A separate weight-loss consultation fee applies (credited toward your medication package if approved)
- Trustpilot rating and review counts (4.9, 14,000+) are self-stated on the site
