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

- Multi-vertical platform — also offers anti-aging/wellness, ED, and hair-loss treatment

Where it loses points
