Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideNAD+sermorelinestradiolenclomiphene

Pros

✓The entire price ladder is published with no intake required, and it shows the per-week equivalent alongside the total: compounded semaglutide injection $249 for 4 weeks ($62/week), tirzepatide injection $339 ($85/week), semaglutide tablets $279 ($70/week) - checked July 28, 2026
✓Longer commitments cut the rate substantially: semaglutide injection falls to $55/week over 12 weeks, $50/week over 24 and $45/week over 52
✓One flat price with no membership fee - medication and provider visits are included rather than billed separately, which is the trap several competitors in this space rely on
✓Branded Ozempic is offered alongside the compounded options at $1,299 for 4 weeks, so you can choose the FDA-approved drug if you would rather not use a compounded preparation
✓'Compounded medications are not FDA-approved' appears on every single medication page, not just in the site footer
✓The NAD+ page is unusually honest about its own product: 'Clinics sometimes offer NAD+ therapies as part of wellness programs, although evidence for many longevity claims is still emerging.' Almost no competitor in the longevity space concedes that
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you for a medical reason before medication is ordered
✓Cancel at any time, with no commitment until a clinician has reviewed your intake
✓The longevity line is cheap relative to the category - NAD+ injection and sermorelin both start at $34/week - and NAD+ comes in three routes: injection, oral drops and nasal spray
✓A genuinely broad catalogue under one provider: weight loss, longevity, hormone replacement (estradiol in five formats), testosterone support (enclomiphene, gonadorelin) and prescription skincare

Cons

✗There is no Trustpilot profile and no BBB record, so there is no independent evidence about what the service is actually like. For a provider asking upwards of $2,000 for a year's supply, that is a real gap
✗The best rates require large upfront commitments. The $45/week semaglutide price means paying $2,327 for 52 weeks, and the refund policy only guarantees money back if a clinician disqualifies you before medication is ordered
✗You are charged for the first month as soon as you complete the intake form, before you know whether you will be approved
✗A separate 'Microdosing' programme is offered. Microdosing GLP-1s is not an evidence-based protocol - the trials behind these drugs used full therapeutic doses
✗The LegitScript certification claimed in the company's partner materials is not evidenced anywhere on its own site
✗Sermorelin is priced and promoted alongside NAD+, but the site does not extend the same 'evidence is still emerging' caveat to it, even though human outcome data for sermorelin in healthy adults is similarly thin
✗No published phone number - support runs through email and your account
✗Ozempic at $1,299 for four weeks is close to full list price, so the branded option is only realistic if you have no insurance route and specifically want the approved drug
✗Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and the weight-loss figures associated with these molecules come from trials of the branded products, not compounded versions

Medications

GLP-1 peptidesBPC-157TB-500NAD+

Pros

✓The quality documentation is genuinely thorough for this category: HPLC and mass spectrometry on every lot, a signed certificate of purity shipped with every order, and a public lab-report library you can read before buying
✓Endotoxin testing (LAL assay) and microbial screening to USP standards on every batch before release
✓Full batch traceability - each vial traced to its production lot, raw materials and test results
✓States an average of 99.3% HPLC purity across all batches and publishes the underlying numbers rather than only the claim
✓Partner labs described as GMP-aligned, with documented SOPs and controlled environments
✓Pricing is straightforward and published: individual peptides run roughly $59.99 to $159.99, with free shipping over $150 (checked July 28, 2026)
✓The research-use-only status is disclosed up front behind an acknowledgement gate, not buried in a footer after checkout
✓A published phone number and a catalogue organised into peptides, blends, sprays and capsules, with a reference database

Cons

✗This is not a treatment and cannot lawfully be sold as one. Everything here is labelled for research use only and explicitly not for human consumption. If you are reading this site to find help with weight loss, this is not an option - it is laboratory material
✗There is no clinician at any point. Nobody takes a history, nobody checks your contraindications, nobody sets a dose and nobody monitors you. The safety net that every licensed provider on this site provides simply does not exist here
✗A certificate of analysis tells you what is in the vial. It tells you nothing about whether the contents are safe for you, what dose is appropriate, or how it interacts with your medications
✗Products arrive as lyophilised powder requiring reconstitution, and bacteriostatic water, syringes and other supplies are not included - so self-administration would also mean improvising sterile technique
✗Peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500 appear on the FDA's list of substances that raise significant safety concerns for compounding, and have little or no published human trial evidence
✗There is no prescription, no pharmacy oversight and no adverse-event reporting pathway. If something goes wrong there is no clinical record and no provider to call
✗No Trustpilot or BBB record exists, so there is no independent consumer feedback of any kind
✗Our rating reflects suitability for someone seeking treatment, which is what this site compares. As a laboratory supplier the documentation is strong; as a route to a GLP-1 or peptide for your own health it is the wrong door, and a licensed provider is the right one
