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 #313 · C
Strengths
- Names its pharmacy partner — Rush Pharmacy, a licensed 503A compounder — which many compounded-GLP-1 telehealths won't disclose
- LegitScript certified with flat, published monthly pricing, free shipping, and no insurance required
- Broad access: 47 states with US-licensed physicians and transparent cash-pay pricing
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy or Zepbound) option
- Headline $139/$219 rates are first-quarter intro prices billed quarterly; ongoing month-to-month is $199/$299
- Not available in California, South Carolina, or New Jersey
