Graded #101 · C
Strengths
- Budget-friendly compounded GLP-1 pricing (compounded semaglutide as low as $99/month, tirzepatide as low as $145/month)
- Multiple formats: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections plus oral semaglutide and tirzepatide pill kits
- Upfront pricing with no insurance required and a fast 3-minute questionnaire to start
- Care delivered through DrTelx, an independent US telehealth medical group, with ongoing support and dose optimization
- HIPAA-compliant platform with a large self-reported member base (50,000+)
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for weight loss (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Available only in select U.S. states, and the full state list is not published
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- Headline prices are 'as low as' rates (asterisked) — your actual monthly cost may be higher
- No LegitScript certification displayed; marketing leans heavily on testimonials
Graded #336 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified with publicly displayed ID (44206977)
- Two named 503A compounding-pharmacy partners (Manifest Pharmacy SC + RX Compounding Store FL) — transparency above category baseline
- Lower advertised semaglutide starting price ($190) than most multi-product peer platforms
- Multi-product offering (GLP-1s + NAD+ + sermorelin + generic ED + birth control) for single-platform users
- 24-hour US board-certified physician response window
Where it loses points
- Per-dose pricing tiers not transparently published on product pages — only 'starting from' prices visible
- No explicit state-coverage list disclosed; FAQ confirms restrictions exist 'based on state' without enumeration
- Medical director not named publicly
- No published consultation fee disclosure — unclear whether physician visit is included in medication price
- All sales final per FAQ ('Federal and State law do not allow medication returns')
