LegitScript

You know, do you ever think there will be a day where there'll be a stamp of approval on all these platforms, too? Like, hey, these are the most credible, the most, you know, easy to work with, the best for our industry.

Sort of like LegitScripts.

Let's just say it's

certified.

Well,

don't get me going on LegitScripts.

You know, Mark, I think it's really difficult to do that.

I mean, especially because the technology can move so quickly.

I want to move to something you tweeted a few days ago.

You said, the real question is how Stripe, TikTok, Meta, LegitScript, etc., view the new peptides.

Without mainstream advertising and payment support, peptides will remain niche, even if on paper they are illegal.

Say more about that.

And then other people are just going to see like, OK, like their ad accounts are not cooked.

Let's start running it.

Do you have any idea how long it might take or usually takes for Meta and LegitScript to update the policies? What are you projecting for timelines? Is this happening in 2026?

I have no idea.

Yeah, we have had a lot of requests for this show.

So today we're joined by Naomi Moono, Director of Strategy and Certification at LegitScript.

Naomi, welcome to the show.

It's so great to have you here.

So thank you.

I'm looking forward to it.

So Naomi, we're talking to somebody who is at LegitScript.

And so I'm curious.

And there's a- another layer to this whole conversation that I know we're both excited about, and so let's talk about the traffic cop in this equation.

So there is, there is a traffic cop in this, uh, whole scenario, and, and that's a company called LegitScript.

So LegitScript is a compliance and monitoring company, and so if you want to be a telehealth company or someone selling prescription drugs online, um, you don't have to get LegitScript certified, but if you're gonna do anything worth doing, you have to get LegitScript certified.

And so the reason that is, is all the major traffic providers, Meta, Google, most of the major native networks, are requiring LegitScript verification to allow ads to run from their network to one of these, uh, operations.

And so the way that works is you set up your website on your domain, you get all your sales pages built and everything, and then you go and you pay LegitScript for a review.

And so what LegitScript does is they go through your website, they go through all your copy, and they're basically making sure that what you're saying is compliant.

And they provide essentially a stamp of approval that says, "This is LegitScript certified." You get a number from LegitScript, uh, a verification code.

You can put badges on your website.

Again, they created their own ads.

So come to find out, if you want any sort of online presence for any sort of telemedicine company or if you wanna discuss medications, you have to have what's called a LegitScript certification.

And of course, it's $3,300 and an annual fee of like $2,000.

And so I was like, do I really care about advertising? Like, should I just forget about it? But then I was like, you know what? No.

I'm waiting for it to come through still.

It was a lot of work, especially if you have lots of licenses.

So if you wanna get your LegitScript, do it while you have like one state license 'cause it's like a-

Oh

... or sh-

LegitScript?

Yeah, LegitScript.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay.

I think that your better bet is just to be as patient as possible and just let this thing do its thing for a little while, you know?

Okay.

I mean, if you had hundreds of thousands of dollars to just say, "I'm just gonna invest $100,000 into this business and just go full-blown on it," then yeah, sure, get LegitScript certified, have the infrastructure ready, and do it.
