Graded #323 · C
Strengths
- One of the few telehealth providers offering compounded liraglutide as a daily alternative to weekly injections
- Semaglutide is compounded with B12, and the combination is stated plainly
- Publishes a street address and a staffed phone line with hours
- States openly that telemedicine is limited to jurisdictions where its providers are licensed, rather than claiming all 50
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Advertises Trusted by 150k Americans and Excellent 4.8 with 150k happy customers, and neither figure is attributable to a verifiable review profile
- No state list is published, only a statement that coverage is limited and a note that partner pharmacies may operate in all 50 states
- The struck-through $199 next to $149 on the homepage reads as a discount but the two prices are different medications
- Claims No Hidden Fees and No Monthly Membership while the Terms state subscriptions automatically renew
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only US-Certified Pharmacy
Graded #229 · C
Strengths
- Transparent flat monthly pricing published on-site — consult, medication, and shipping all included
- Broad menu: compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide, compounded oral capsules from $199/mo, plus brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Rybelsus
- LegitScript-certified (seal #43281221)
- Flat fee with no upcharge as your dose increases
- Compounded oral GLP-1 capsules available for needle-free dosing
Where it loses points
- Compounded injectable pricing ($350 semaglutide / $450 tirzepatide) runs above the lowest-cost telehealth options
- No compounding pharmacy partner named on the site
- No named medical director or prescribing clinicians
- State availability not published — only a nationwide virtual-care claim
- Small, locally-rooted operation with a limited public track record
