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 #499 · C
Strengths
- $599 product price shown publicly, not gated behind intake
- Terms of Service exists and discloses the legal relationship
- Positions itself as 'Premium Weight Loss Treatment'
Where it loses points
- Homepage uses a dietary-supplement-style disclaimer, not language seen on legitimate prescription products
- Links straight to a Stripe checkout with no medical intake, consultation, or prescription gate
- Terms reserve the option to ship without prescription or provider review where not legally required
- No LegitScript, NABP, state-pharmacy, or PCAB accreditation visible
- Legal entity and state of incorporation not disclosed (only California governing law)
