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 #409 · C
Strengths
- Three named co-founders disclosed (Gabriel Mullins, Sara Yoder, Tyler Bowman) — better-than-average transparency
- Pricing shown on the homepage ($199 semaglutide / $299 tirzepatide / $249–$299 peptides) — no full sign-up wall
- Broader range (2 GLP-1s plus 3 anti-aging peptides) appeals to longevity buyers
- No contracts or commitment required
- LegitScript Certified with a public verification link
Where it loses points
- Displays an "FDA Approved" badge though compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished drugs — potentially misleading
- Intake reviewed by a nurse practitioner, not an MD
- States served not disclosed publicly
- Pharmacy partner not named, and 503A vs 503B designation not specified
- FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
