Graded #168 · C
Strengths
- Price Lock Guarantee — your $299 base rate doesn't rise as your dose escalates
- Fast onboarding: roughly 5-minute intake, 24-hour prescription turnaround, 2–4 day shipping
- 24/7 care team access with unlimited clinician messaging included
- LegitScript certified
- Clear Section 503A compounding disclosure on every landing page
Where it loses points
- Not BBB accredited — C+ rating with 10 complaints, mostly shipping delays and support access
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Markets oral tirzepatide, but no FDA-approved oral tirzepatide exists
- Very new company (incorporated May 2024) with a limited track record
- Pharmacy partners not named, so 503A compliance can't be independently verified
Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
