Graded #192 · C
Strengths
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both weekly injections and oral tablets
- Transparent, published pricing with month-to-month, quarterly, and 6-month plans and no membership fee
- Multi-month plans cut the per-month cost sharply (semaglutide as low as $99/mo, tirzepatide as low as $133/mo)
- Advertises a $50-off code (LOOSE50) and covers weight loss plus hair, sexual-wellness, and longevity care
- Also lists a retatrutide option and custom dosing plans for higher needs
Where it loses points
- Prescribing medical group and compounding pharmacy are not named on the site
- States of operation are not published; confirm eligibility during intake
- Says it is 'LegitScript certified' but no verifiable seal is shown, so the claim is unconfirmed
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
