- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy

The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route

The fine print
- No LegitScript, NABP .pharmacy, or HIPAA badge on the home page
- Pharmacy partner not named (only 'regulated FDA pharmacy partners')

- Clinical care runs through MD Integrations, a shared third-party network used by many brands
- No brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
