Graded #134 · 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 #496 · C
Strengths
- Serves 34 states — meaningful nationwide footprint
- Asynchronous model removes friction for patients who don't want a video visit
- Independent licensed prescribers retain full clinical authority
Where it loses points
- Active Novo Nordisk false-advertising lawsuit alleging trademark infringement and marketing compounded drugs as FDA-approved alternatives
- Active DOJ/FTC enforcement alleging undisclosed subscription terms, locked cancellation, and unauthorized health-data sharing
- Founder previously ran Cerebral, which settled with the FTC in 2024 over similar deceptive practices
- Recently rebranded to Gronk Inc. amid active enforcement
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 1 September 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
