Graded #160 · C
Strengths
- Flat, all-inclusive monthly pricing with no hidden fees — compounded semaglutide $299/month and tirzepatide $399/month, all doses included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 45936855) plus HIPAA compliance and licensed US physicians
- Multiple options: compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, oral tirzepatide, and phentermine
- DNA-calibrated dosing option that tailors the GLP-1 dose to how you metabolize it
- Broad coverage in 47 states and DC, with free shipping and cancel-anytime plans
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Not available in Alaska, Mississippi, or New Jersey
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named
- A separate weight-loss consultation fee applies (credited toward your medication package if approved)
- Trustpilot rating and review counts (4.9, 14,000+) are self-stated on the site
Graded #282 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, upfront monthly pricing — intro $149/mo for compounded semaglutide and $249/mo for tirzepatide (regular $229 / $349)
- Clean, modern telehealth experience with a quick eligibility quiz and clinician review before any prescription
- HIPAA-compliant and displays a LegitScript-style verification seal
Where it loses points
- Headline prices are intro first-month fees — the regular monthly cost is higher ($229 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide)
- Connector model that pairs you with licensed providers; it doesn't name its compounding pharmacy
- Doesn't publish the states it serves, so confirm availability before signing up
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections only — no oral, brand-name, or insurance options
