Graded #65 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified seal displayed on the marketing site (the standard third-party telehealth/pharmacy accreditation)
- Free and fast delivery + 24/7 patient support disclosed on the home page
- Newark, DE address suggests a US-incorporated entity (vs offshore)
- $139 first-month price for compounded semaglutide injection is among the cheapest in the US compounded telehealth market
- $229 first-month price for compounded tirzepatide injection sits in the lower-median range
Where it loses points
- Standard ongoing monthly price NOT publicly disclosed (gated behind checkout) — patients should ask for the maintenance-dose price before committing
- Specific legal entity name + state of incorporation NOT publicly disclosed on the home page — material YMYL transparency gap
- Pharmacy partners NOT publicly named — material YMYL transparency gap
- Per-state availability NOT enumerated; verify your state ships before purchase
- Lab work + coaching support NOT publicly disclosed
Graded #119 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states and DC through a multi-state (IMLC) licensed clinician network
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in two formats - weekly injectable (with B12) or daily oral dissolving tablet
- Flat subscription price that doesn't change as your dose increases (no titration penalty)
- Science-forward, clinician-led, with built-in follow-up, lab testing, and a broad peptide and longevity catalog (BPC-157, TB-500, sermorelin, NAD+)
- Transparent, education-first positioning with published medical disclaimer, privacy, and terms
Where it loses points
- Eligibility and prescribing run through partner clinical workflows - YourHealthRx is the platform, not the prescriber or pharmacy
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named ('transparent sourcing' claimed but no pharmacy disclosed)
- Headline prices include a first-month intro rate; ongoing monthly cost is higher (semaglutide ~$170, tirzepatide ~$210)
- No LegitScript certification displayed
