Graded #98 · C
Strengths

- Money-back guarantee — uncommon among compounded telehealths

- No LegitScript, HIPAA, or NABP badges on public pages
- Compounding pharmacy partners not named (only 'multiple USA certified pharmacies')
- Houston address looks like a virtual office rather than a clinical facility
- No brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) — compounded only

Strengths
- $135 sema / $199 tirz
