Graded #44

EdgeRx

A men's-only compounded GLP-1 program that names its pharmacy (Strive Pharmacy, 503A since 2018) and its Chief Medical Advisor — real transparency signals most compounders skip.

Strengths

  • Named compounding pharmacy — Strive Pharmacy, a 503A facility compounding since 2018 — a genuine transparency signal most compounders lack
  • Named Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. John Starke, MD (ABEM board-certified)
  • LegitScript certified, once-weekly injectable, free shipping, no separate physician fee
  • Broad protocol menu beyond GLP-1 — MICC lipotropic, sermorelin/NAD+/glutathione, skin/hair, and sexual/hormonal health tiers

Where it loses points

  • Men's-only positioning — not an option for women
  • Dr. Starke does not personally prescribe; the actual prescribing pool is unnamed licensed physicians
  • Third-party lab testing is claimed but no specific lab is named
  • Excludes Arkansas, Indiana, Minnesota and South Carolina (46 states)
  • Bloodwork cost is undisclosed on the Sexual & Hormonal Health tier

Bottom line — Grade C+

Best for: Men who want a named pharmacy and named medical leadership behind a compounded GLP-1 program, plus an optional bench of longevity and hormonal-health protocols on the same account.

Ranked #44 of 504 on this scorecard. See our top-scoring pick, CoreAge Rx (#1), for comparison.

Bodybuilding Health+#36

The Bodybuilding.com fitness brand's new compounded-telehealth arm — genuinely cheap GLP-1 bundles (sema and tirz both down to $139/mo on the annual plan) sitting on top of a deep sermorelin/NAD+/peptide bench — solid value and honest FDA labeling, but brand-new, compounded, and final-sale, so it lands as a value runner-up rather than a top pick.

Peter MD#37
