Conflict of interest: who runs this site and what they sell

FormBlends Reviews is written and published by the FormBlends editorial team. FormBlends operates a GLP-1 weight-loss program that dispenses compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through licensed 503A pharmacies. Several of the programs evaluated on this site sell the same category of product to the same buyers. That is a conflict of interest, and this page is where we say so in full.

The interest

FormBlends earns money when someone buys its program at formblends.com/products/tirzepatide or formblends.com/products/semaglutide. A reader who decides against a competitor after reading an evaluation here might buy from FormBlends instead. We cannot make that incentive go away. We can make it visible and make it hard to act on.

How the conflict is controlled

1. Disclosure on every evaluation page. Not a footer link. A banner at the top of every evaluation, in the comparison tool, and in any text copied out of the tool.
2. A written rubric, published before the scores. The eight criteria and their level definitions are on the rubric page. A score has to fit a definition. We cannot mark a competitor down for something the definition does not cover.
3. FormBlends is scored on the same rubric. The FormBlends evaluation was written by the same team, from public pages, on the same date basis, and its low rows are published. If our own program scores below a competitor on a row, that row stays.
4. Public facts only, with the page and date. Every score cites the page it came from. A reader can open the page and check. We do not use mystery shopping, private correspondence or anything you cannot see.
5. No money changes hands. No affiliate links, no sponsorship, no advertising, no free product, from anyone, including FormBlends' own program. The site's costs are paid by FormBlends as a publishing expense.
6. Regulatory history does not move scores. A warning letter or an enforcement action is reported with a link in a separate section. It cannot be used to push a competitor's total down.
7. Corrections are logged. Every score change is dated and explained at the foot of the page. Requests from evaluated companies are handled the same way as requests from readers.

Why there are no user reviews or star ratings

Three reasons.

First, we cannot verify a user review. We cannot tell whether the writer was a customer, whether they were paid, or whether they exist. Publishing what we cannot verify is the thing this site exists to avoid.

Second, the FTC's rules on endorsements and on consumer reviews treat a business that publishes reviews of its own competitors, or ratings that a competitor could influence, as a risk area. A site owned by a market participant that aggregated star ratings of that participant's competitors would be asking for exactly the scrutiny those rules describe. We would rather not be that site.

Third, a star has no definition. A 2 out of 3 on pricing transparency means the definition on the rubric page. A 3.8 out of 5 means whatever the reader wants it to mean. Only one of those is checkable.

What we ask of you

Read the FormBlends evaluation with the same scepticism you would bring to a manufacturer's brochure. Check its rows against the FormBlends pages linked from it. If a justification looks generous, tell us at hello@formblends.com, with the page and the sentence, and we will re-read it and log the outcome. The same offer stands for every other evaluation on the site.

Corporate details

FormBlends is the operating name of the program at formblends.com. The editorial team is described on the About page. The FormBlends regulatory-status page, which describes how the program says it meets the compounding rules, is at formblends.com/regulatory-status. Read it alongside the FormBlends evaluation, which is our attempt to hold that page to the same standard as everyone else's.
