+Physician-founded (Dr. Sarah Daccarett, board-certified) with online intake and no mandatory lab draw to start
+HSA/FSA payment accepted at checkout
−Front-loaded pricing: $199/mo for the first six months before dropping to $99.50/mo, about $1,791 in year one
−Only product is a compounded cream (not FDA-approved), and the site contradicts itself on whether it comes from a 503A or 503B pharmacy
