Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
Graded #486 · C
Strengths
- Both molecules in BOTH routes — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections and as oral dissolving tablets
- Four branded pens on the same account: Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound
- Sermorelin offered alongside the GLP-1 line
- 24/7 phone support on a published number
Where it loses points
- No price appears anywhere on the public site — /pricing 404s and every product CTA leads to a 2-minute intake quiz, so no cost can be compared before signing up
- The site contradicts itself on coverage: the homepage says "Serving All 50 States" while its own FAQ says 49 states and excludes Louisiana
- The four clinicians presented as "board-certified obesity specialists" are listed as Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Clinic, Gynecology and Cardiac Surgery — none in obesity medicine
- "100% Customer Satisfaction" is stated as a headline fact and is not a substantiable claim
Also worth a look
