Medications

NAD+

Pros

✓It cites its sources. Fourteen PubMed and journal references are linked directly from the claims they support, which is far more than any competing longevity brand we have reviewed
✓It explicitly disclaims celebrity endorsement: 'Dr. Conlon, David Sinclair, Joe Rogan, all other referenced quotes, and studies does not endorse the claims, views, statements, or products offered by Viking Man'
✓The product is described as 'compounded and made-to-order by a licensed pharmacy' rather than being passed off as a manufactured drug
✓The standard FDA disclaimer is present - statements not evaluated by the FDA, not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease
✓A published phone number, a real Utah street address and an email address
✓Free shipping on US orders, the prescription is included in the price, and the company advertises free unlimited doctor follow-ups
✓State eligibility is checked before you can sign up, so you find out early if you are outside the service area
✓NAD+ sits alongside a broader men's health service (ED, hair, sleep), so there is somewhere to go if NAD+ is not the right answer

Cons

✗The advertised '4.9 (2700+ Reviews)' does not match the verifiable Trustpilot score of 3.0 from 3 reviews
✗The citations look rigorous but do not support the claims made. Reference *6, used for 'helps with metabolism and weight loss', is a study of a NAD+ intermediate in diet- and age-induced diabetes in MICE. Others are mechanistic papers or literature reviews, not human outcome trials
✗'Turn Back The Biological Clock', 'Slowing & Reversing Aging Has Never Been Simpler' and claims about repairing DNA are strong anti-aging assertions that no NAD+ product has demonstrated in humans
✗'Shown to help with weight loss' and 'Lose weight easier' appear repeatedly. NAD+ is not a weight-loss treatment, and if that is what you are looking for this is the wrong product
✗Heavy artificial urgency throughout: 'In Stock (67)', 'Selling Fast: 82 Packs Sold In Last Hour', 'Back In Stock - Order Now', and a delivery-date countdown
✗The headline price is a 79% discount - $47.99 marked down to $10 per dose - presented as the standing offer rather than a genuine limited promotion
✗Pricing is per dose with no published pack size or dosing frequency, so the actual monthly cost is unknowable until after you sign up. The figure shown here is the regular per-dose price, not a monthly total
✗The page says 'FDA Registered Pharmacy' but never states the consequence - a registered facility is not the same as an FDA-approved medicine, and this compounded product has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
✗The David Sinclair 'fountain of youth' quote is placed prominently at the top of the page while the non-endorsement disclaimer sits in fine print at the very bottom
✗Evidence that injected NAD+ produces meaningful anti-aging, cognitive or metabolic benefits in healthy adults remains limited

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The compounding explanation is genuinely educational, citing USP 795 and USP 797 and identifying the pharmacy as a 503A facility rather than hand-waving about 'FDA-registered' status
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.6 from 12,750 reviews, a large and credible independent sample
✓The FAQ states flat monthly prices with no membership layered on: $297/month for semaglutide and $399/month for tirzepatide (checked July 27, 2026)
✓That price is stated to include the medication, doctor visits normally billed at $99 each, next-day FedEx or UPS shipping, and all injection supplies
✓Same price at every dose, so titrating up does not increase the bill
✓A full refund is given if your prescription is not approved
✓A published customer phone number, 888-696-7176, which most competitors do not offer
✓This offer is restricted in only one state, Arkansas

Cons

✗The headline price and the real price do not match. The landing page leads with 'Starting at $147' while the FAQ on the same site states 'For Semaglutide we charge $297/month. For Tirzepatide we charge $399/month' - roughly double
✗Discounts are advertised in three different sizes on one page: '$150 Off Today', 'Up to $200 OFF' and 'Get $150 OFF your prescription instantly', with no terms attached to any of them
✗The 'patient satisfaction guarantee' is undefined - 'If you are unhappy with your results, let us know and we'll make it right' commits to nothing specific
✗The landing page uses the same template as several other compounded GLP-1 funnels, down to the identical headline 'The proven way to lose 15% of your body weight fast!'
✗'We've been featured all over' appears with no named publications or links
✗The '15% of your body weight' figure comes from trials of the branded drugs, not from Direct Meds' compounded product or its own patients
✗No BBB profile could be found to set against the Trustpilot score
✗Support hours are not published, only the phone number and an email address
