- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account

- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
LeanDose

- Honest, modest social proof — 119 five-star patient reviews
The caveats

- Headline rates are first-month pricing; your ongoing monthly cost may be higher
- Available in multiple states but the full list is not published on the homepage
