The verdict
Trillium Meds takes it — 69.4/100 to 69/100, but only just.

Trillium Meds is a small, owner-operated telehealth platform based in Portland, OR that connects patients with independent licensed providers and FDA-registered compounding pharmacies for compounded… NuBloom is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #137 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, openly published pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo and tirzepatide $279/mo as flexible month-to-month subscriptions
- Founded and medically led by a named physician (Dr. Marianne Pinkston Mueller, family/integrative medicine, 25+ years)
- Whole-person model pairs GLP-1s with hormone, gut-health and longevity care plus in-depth lab testing
- State coverage published openly: 49 states listed on the site (all except Mississippi)
- Optional 90-day 1:1 coaching program with weekly meetings and unlimited text support ($599/mo)
Where it loses points
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named anywhere on the site — a transparency gap
- NuBloom's own LegitScript/PCAB status is not displayed; only its telehealth partner is certified
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; one FAQ loosely calls them 'FDA-approved,' contradicting the product pages
- All sales are final and medical consult fees are non-refundable; no returns on prescription products
- Disputes go to binding individual arbitration; the Terms' governing-law state is left as an unfilled '[STATE]' placeholder
Graded #130 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified with an active seal; serves all 50 states plus Puerto Rico with no geographic restrictions
- All-inclusive pricing covers medication, provider consultation, and shipping with no hidden fees or add-ons
- Two pharmacy options (BPI Labs with B6, ProRx) and three plan structures: 1-month, 3-month fixed, or 3-month titrated
- Small owner-operated; founder personally handles customer support outside business hours for direct, responsive service
- Klarna and Affirm financing available; pause anytime with no long-term commitment required
Where it loses points
- No labs, coaching, or clinical monitoring included — telehealth Rx and pharmacy fulfillment only
- Small single-operator platform may limit capacity and support consistency as patient volume grows
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; newer platform with limited long-term public track record
- Tirzepatide from $199/mo (3-mo plan) is mid-market; sema from $119/mo competitive but not lowest available
- No live video consult disclosed; async intake-form-based provider review by external licensed provider network
