  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
  • Lowest per-month pricing in the compounded segment

Watch-outs

  • The only figure given is a $149/mo floor spanning GLP-1s and peptides, "confirmed after provider review"
  • The privacy page publishes a placeholder phone number, (555) 000-0000
  • Pharmacy and medical groups are named as third-party beneficiaries in the terms but never identified
  • No state list is published
