Graded #367 · C
Strengths
- Physician-owned and LegitScript Certified — strong trust signals
- Available nationwide in all 50 states
- Care and pharmacy fulfillment run on OpenLoop Health's licensed network
- Broad menu — compounded GLP-1, microdose tirzepatide, NAD+, sermorelin, MIC B12
Where it loses points
- Published pricing is gated behind the intake quiz — no upfront cost shown
- Legal terms and privacy are posted as downloadable documents, not web pages
- Compounded GLP-1 is not FDA-approved and prescribed off-label (per their own notice)
- Longevity and microdose positioning is marketing; evidence varies by use
Graded #42 · C
Strengths
- Lowest published prices here — semaglutide from $119/mo, tirzepatide from $185/mo
- One price across every dosage, so titrating up costs no more
- No membership or subscription fee, and free shipping
- All 50 states, offered in Spanish as well as English
Where it loses points
- Same-day approval with no video call means very little clinical contact before a prescription
- No published lab or monitoring programme
- Injection only, and no brand-name lane
- Sold as packages, so re-ordering is on you
