Collective

+Lowest all-in compounded GLP-1 pricing we track: $59/mo semaglutide or $69/mo tirzepatide plus $199/yr membership (about $76–86/mo)

+Membership includes unlimited physician messaging, quarterly dose reviews and registered-dietitian access
−Dispensing pharmacies, medical group and headquarters are not disclosed. The site only says 'state-licensed US pharmacies'

−GLP-1 weight loss only, with no branded Wegovy/Zepbound option for patients who want FDA-approved product

+Reports (per prior research, not independently verified on-site) shipping compounded medications to patients in all 50 states.
+A majority of Trustpilot reviewers (78% five-star) describe knowledgeable, thorough clinical staff.
−Reviewers report medication price increases of 200-300% within a few months of enrolling, with claims that comparable prescriptions cost significantly less elsewhere.
−Trustpilot sample is small (54 reviews) — too limited to draw strong reputational conclusions despite the 4.1 average.
−Lab result and refill turnaround delays are a recurring complaint, with patients told to request refills 20-25 days in advance to avoid running out.
