Can we use landing pages?
Yes. Review the ad, landing page, intake, checkout, and follow-up as one experience. A new domain does not create a new set of rules.
Updated August 12, 2026
I spent some time working through the launch plan, the staging site, and the questions from our August 12 call. This is the working guide for what can go on the site, in ads, and in customer proof.
Scope: U.S. consumer marketing for the Elysium telehealth launch.
Yes. Review the ad, landing page, intake, checkout, and follow-up as one experience. A new domain does not create a new set of rules.
Yes, with limits. Start with care, support, shipping, and the experience of using the service. Hold pounds lost, side effects, before-and-after photos, and treatment outcomes for now.
One launch detail: the August 12 call confirmed branded GLP-1 products only. Compounded GLP-1s are not part of this launch.
This is a working guide, not a legal opinion. Anything marked review or hold needs the owner named in that rule to sign off.
All sections
Status language: Okay with proof, Needs review, and Hold.
| Product class | Launch status | Marketing rule |
|---|---|---|
| FDA-approved prescription drug, dispensed exactly as approved | Conditional | Promote only the approved product, indication, population, route, dose, limitations, and current risk information. Do not guarantee eligibility or prescription. |
| Compounded injectable or oral GLP-1 | Not in confirmed launch; red future gate | The August 12 call confirmed branded GLP-1 products only. Do not add a compounded GLP-1 later without a new legal, pharmacy, clinical, claims, privacy, and platform review. |
| Injectable GHK-Cu | No-go pending written legal basis | FDA identifies potential immunogenicity and limited human safety information, and the injectable bulk-drug nomination was withdrawn. Do not advertise or offer it without a route-specific written opinion from compounding counsel and the dispensing pharmacy. |
| Non-injectable/topical GHK-Cu | Conditional / classification gate | Confirm whether the exact product is a cosmetic, approved drug, or lawfully compounded drug. Cosmetic pages may make truthful appearance claims only; structure, disease, healing, or systemic claims turn it into drug territory. |
| Sermorelin | Red / counsel gate | Assume the intended product is sermorelin. A former pediatric approval does not make a current compound FDA-approved or validate weight-loss, muscle-growth, wellness, or anti-aging claims. Require a formulation- and pharmacy-specific compounding memo before any consumer promotion. |
“Launch status” below governs consumer promotion, not a clinician's independent prescribing decision. Yellow and red items require the written gates named in this rulebook.
| Launch item | Preliminary status | Launch marketing rule |
|---|---|---|
| NAD+ injection | Red claims / counsel gate | Compounded, not FDA-approved. Do not claim proven energy, mitochondrial, longevity, anti-aging, or systemic outcomes from oral-precursor or mechanistic evidence. |
| NAD+ nasal spray | Red claims / counsel gate | Compounded, not FDA-approved. The staging claim that supplementation is “proven” to restore “youthful levels” must not publish. Require route- and formulation-specific evidence. |
| Glutathione injection | Red claims / counsel gate | Compounded, not FDA-approved. Avoid “detox,” mitochondrial recovery, disease, anti-aging, and systemic efficacy claims without exact-product evidence and clearance. |
| Glutathione nasal spray | Red claims / counsel gate | Same rule; injection, oral, topical, or endogenous-glutathione evidence cannot simply be transferred to this nasal formulation. |
| Metformin | Yellow; off-label-claims gate | FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not longevity, healthy aging, age-related-disease prevention, or weight loss. Do not use those off-label outcomes to acquire consumers. |
| Low-dose naltrexone | Red claims / exact-product gate | Naltrexone's approvals do not establish low-dose compounded claims for neuroinflammation, endorphins, longevity, or generalized wellness. |
| MICC-B12 | Red claims / exact-mixture gate | Compounded mixture, not FDA-approved as a TELI product. Do not promise fat burning, weight loss, energy, or metabolic improvement; identify every ingredient and lawful compounding basis. |
| Lipo+ B6 | Red claims / exact-mixture gate | Same rule. “Lipotropic,” “metabolism,” and energy language can imply unsupported efficacy; exact ingredient, dose, route, and evidence are required. |
| Sermorelin injection | Red claims / counsel gate | Compounded and not FDA-approved. Remove sleep, recovery, vitality, muscle, fat-loss, anti-aging, and “patients often notice” language unless counsel and medical/regulatory owners clear an exact claim. |
| Sermorelin troche | Red claims / counsel gate | Same rule, with an additional route-evidence problem: injection or historic product evidence does not validate a troche. |
| GHK-Cu cream | Yellow; classification gate | Confirm cosmetic versus compounded-drug path. Limit cosmetic marketing to substantiated appearance claims; do not claim collagen production, tissue repair, wound healing, regeneration, or systemic effects. |
| Bremelanotide (PT-141) | Red until identity and route clear | The launch screenshot lists PT-141, but no staging page was found. If it is Vyleesi, stay within its narrow FDA-approved population and indication. If compounded, do not borrow Vyleesi's approval or evidence. |
| Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) | Red for weight-acquisition claims; clinical/counsel gate | FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight management. Remove promotional off-label weight language and obesity-outcome expert quotes from acquisition pages. |
| Zepbound® (tirzepatide) | Yellow; on-label branded promotion | FDA-approved for chronic weight management in eligible adults. Benefits, population, limitations, material risks, price, and prescribing information must be presented in fair balance. |
| Ozempic® (semaglutide) | Red for weight-acquisition claims; clinical/counsel gate | FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and specified risk reduction uses, not chronic weight management. Remove obesity-treatment promotion from acquisition pages. |
| Wegovy® injection (semaglutide) | Yellow; on-label branded promotion | FDA-approved for chronic weight management in defined populations and other labeled uses. Use only the indication and population relevant to TELI, with current risks and limitations. |
| Wegovy® oral (semaglutide) | Yellow; on-label branded promotion | FDA-approved for adult chronic weight management and cardiovascular-risk reduction in defined populations. Remove the visible staging placeholder saying approval remains to be confirmed; use the current tablet label. |
| Foundayo™ (orforglipron) | Yellow; on-label branded promotion | FDA-approved April 1, 2026 for adult chronic weight management in defined populations. Use the exact label and risk presentation; do not use speculative adherence or superiority claims. |
Every proposed product and claim receives one of three statuses:
Disclosures do not rescue a false, misleading, unsubstantiated, or unlawfully marketed claim. A truthful sentence can still mislead because of images, page structure, omissions, links, testimonial selection, or the combined impression of the full funnel.
This baseline assumes a U.S. launch. It does not replace the required 50-state provider, pharmacy, telehealth, corporate-practice, fee-splitting, privacy, auto-renewal, and professional-advertising matrix.
No treatment page, paid campaign, influencer post, intake path, or checkout may launch until all applicable gates are green.
| Gate | Evidence that must exist | Approval owner |
|---|---|---|
| Exact product identity | Brand or compound name; active ingredient; salt form; concentration; dosage form; route; dose; packaging; NDC if approved; source pharmacy | Clinical + pharmacy |
| Regulatory status | Current approved labeling, or a written 503A/503B and state-law compounding basis for the exact product | FDA/healthcare counsel |
| Compounding source | Legal name, address, state licenses, 503A or 503B status, state nonresident licenses, inspection history, and current agreement | Pharmacy operations + counsel |
| Clinical protocol | Eligibility, contraindications, labs, dosing, titration, adverse-event, escalation, discontinuation, and follow-up protocol | Medical director |
| State availability | Patient-location rules, provider licensure/registration, modality, consent, prescribing, pharmacy license, CPOM/MSO, fee-splitting, and auto-renew requirements | Healthcare counsel + operations |
| Claims dossier | Exact approved wording, source, population, product/route/dose fit, limitations, required disclosure, expiration date, and prohibited variants | Medical + regulatory + legal |
| Price and subscription | Total and recurring price, medication/labs/consult/shipping inclusions, minimum commitment, renewal, cancellation, refund, and taxes | Finance + legal |
| Privacy data map | Every field, event, URL parameter, pixel, replay tool, audience export, vendor, BAA/DPA, consent, retention, deletion, and breach path | Privacy + security |
| Platform approval | Required LegitScript, Google, Meta, TikTok, pharmacy, or telehealth certification and approved destination | Growth + legal |
| Versioned launch artifact | Final ad, page, mobile screenshots, intake, terms, consent, risk copy, email/SMS, and confirmation experience | QA + launch owner |
If any product is described internally only as “GLP-1 tablet,” “peptide,” “GHK-Cu,” or “sermorelin protocol,” the product identity gate is not complete.
Yellow: permissible only within the approved product's actual labeling and operating footprint.
Green examples, when true and approved:
Required controls:
Red examples:
Important tablet fork: an oral dosage form is not automatically compounded or unapproved. FDA has approved specific semaglutide tablets for defined uses, including the 2025 approval reflected in this FDA approval letter. Elysium must identify the exact product and label; the word “tablet” is not enough.
Red until the exact product clears the launch gates. Compounded products are not FDA-approved and are not the generic versions of branded GLP-1 drugs. In March 2026, FDA warned 30 telehealth companies about claims that implied compounded products were the same as approved drugs and about branding that obscured the actual compounder (FDA announcement).
The shortage-era assumption is no longer a launch basis. FDA declared the semaglutide injection shortage resolved in February 2025, and the corresponding 503A and 503B enforcement-discretion periods ended in April and May 2025. The agency's current policy also limits regular or inordinate compounding of essential copies and requires the applicable patient-specific or statutory basis (FDA shortage and compounding update). In April 2026, FDA also proposed excluding semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide from the 503B bulks list because approved products can meet clinical need (FDA proposal).
Required before marketing:
Green/conditional wording, only when verified:
Red wording and architecture:
Red / no-go without a written route-specific legal and pharmacy basis.
FDA's current safety-risk page says injectable GHK-Cu may present immunogenicity risk because of aggregation and peptide-related impurities and that human safety information is limited (FDA bulk-substance safety risks). FDA's May 2026 503A nomination list records that the injectable nomination was withdrawn, while a non-injectable nomination returned to Category 1 for further evaluation (FDA 503A nomination list). Category 1 is an interim enforcement category, not approval or proof of safety or effectiveness.
Do not:
Yellow: exact classification first.
Red until the exact formulation, route, source, compounding category, and patient use have written clearance. This rulebook assumes “semoralin” means sermorelin; verify that before any work proceeds.
Sermorelin was previously approved for a narrow pediatric growth-hormone indication. That history does not make a present compounded product FDA-approved and does not approve anti-aging, weight-loss, metabolism, body-composition, sleep, recovery, or muscle-growth uses. FDA has treated claims that sermorelin supports growth hormone, metabolism, weight loss, and muscle growth or repair as unapproved new-drug promotion in a 2024 warning letter.
FDA's current 503B nominations document lists sermorelin acetate in Category 1 and marks it as a component of a formerly FDA-approved drug. The same document states that 503B compounds still must satisfy the rule against making essential copies, subject to FDA's stated enforcement policy for certain discontinued products (FDA 503B bulk-substance categories). Category 1 is under evaluation; it is not product approval, a clinical endorsement, or a complete compounding authorization.
Red wording:
The August 12 call confirmed that the launch GLP-1 portfolio is branded, not compounded. That removes compounded-copy risk from this launch but does not make every product or every weight claim on-label.
On-label weight-management paths: Zepbound injection, Wegovy injection, Wegovy tablets, and Foundayo tablets may be promoted only for the populations and uses in their current labels, with benefits and risks in fair balance. The current Wegovy label covers both injection and tablets; the Foundayo label reflects its April 2026 approval.
Off-label acquisition problem: Mounjaro and Ozempic are approved for type 2 diabetes and other specified labeled uses, not chronic weight management under those brand names. A provider may sometimes prescribe an approved drug off-label in the practice of medicine, but that does not make consumer weight-loss promotion launch-safe. At minimum:
The staging quote that Mounjaro produced “some of the most impressive clinical outcomes … in obesity medicine,” and the quote calling Ozempic a “cornerstone of modern obesity … treatment,” are promotional off-label claims and must not publish in the current acquisition context.
For every branded page:
Metformin is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, not longevity, age-related-disease prevention, general metabolic optimization, or weight loss. The staging language that it may “encourage weight loss” or “reduce the risk of certain age-related diseases” is not launch-safe acquisition copy merely because a lower section calls the use off-label. Limit consumer promotion to accurate service/process facts unless counsel and medical/regulatory owners approve a specific off-label communication with adequate evidence and context.
Naltrexone's approved labeling does not establish the claims made for a low-dose compounded product. “Raises endorphins,” “calms neuroinflammation,” pain, autoimmune, longevity, mood, or generalized wellness claims require an exact-product, dose, population, evidence, and legal review. Do not describe low-dose naltrexone as FDA-approved.
These launch items require an exact formula and pharmacy memo; category labels such as “cellular health,” “detox,” “energy,” and “lipotropics” can themselves communicate efficacy.
The staging sentence on the NAD+ nasal page, supplementing is “a proven way to restore youthful levels”, is a red claim. The page's own admission that nasal administration differs from the oral precursors studied underscores the evidence mismatch.
The launch screenshot lists bremelanotide/PT-141, but it is absent from the staging navigation and /treatments/bremelanotide returned a 404 on August 12. Do not launch traffic or an intake result until the exact product, route, strength, source, population, and page are reconciled.
If the product is FDA-approved Vyleesi, its label is limited to premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive sexual desire disorder meeting the labeled conditions; it is not indicated for postmenopausal women, men, or sexual-performance enhancement (FDA-approved Vyleesi labeling). If it is compounded bremelanotide, it is not Vyleesi and may not borrow Vyleesi's approval, studies, brand, indication, or net impression.
Red claims include “female Viagra,” “boost libido,” “for men and women,” “enhances performance,” “better sex on demand,” and any casual wellness framing that erases the diagnostic criteria, population, risks, and clinician assessment.
| Page type | Status | What it may do | What it may not do |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unbranded condition education | Green/conditional | Discuss a condition, symptoms, screening, lifestyle, and speaking with a clinician | Name, show, strongly imply, or link so tightly to one drug that the combined experience becomes a product claim |
| Telehealth service page | Green/conditional | Explain care access, verified states, clinician evaluation, process, support, transparent pricing | Promise a prescription, use drug-outcome claims, imply everyone qualifies, hide clinical/legal entities |
| FDA-approved product page | Yellow | Use exact on-label product claims with appropriate risks, limits, label, and price | Off-label claims, guarantee results, omit material risks, borrow evidence from another product |
| Compounded-product page | Red until cleared | After clearance, accurately describe exact compound, route, source, non-approved status, process, price, and limitations | Approved-brand equivalence, generic/same-active claims, safety/effectiveness approval implications, hidden compounder |
| Quiz or “treatment finder” | Yellow | Collect only necessary data, state that it is not a diagnosis, and route to clinician evaluation | Return “you qualify,” recommend a prescription automatically, use answers for ad targeting, collect unsupported sensitive data |
| Checkout or membership page | Yellow | Present the full price, inclusions, recurring terms, consent, cancellation, and clinical contingency | Charge for medication before lawful prescription, disguise a commitment, precheck consent, make cancellation harder than signup |
An FDA “reminder” format is not a shortcut for Elysium's launch. A qualifying reminder ad for an approved prescription drug is limited to the product name and certain identifying information; it cannot state or imply a use or benefit and is not available for every drug. It does not apply to a compounded or unapproved product. An unbranded help-seeking ad may discuss a condition without naming a drug, but paired creative, links, retargeting, or destination content can turn the combined presentation into product promotion. Counsel should classify the complete campaign, not only the headline.
Subject to fact verification and approval:
Online visits with licensed clinicians for eligible adults in [states]. A clinician will review your health history and determine whether treatment is appropriate. A prescription is not guaranteed.
Plans start at $[amount] per [period]. The price [includes/excludes] clinician visits, medication, labs, and shipping. If you are not eligible for treatment, [refund/cancellation rule].
For a cleared compound:
This is a compounded drug, not an FDA-approved drug. FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality before marketing. If prescribed, it is compounded and dispensed by [legal pharmacy name and status].
The disclosure must be prominent and close to the first product/price presentation. It does not authorize the product or cure other misleading claims.
| Current TELI language | Status | Launch-safe direction |
|---|---|---|
| “The most successful clinical outcomes in aging research” | Red | “Online visits with licensed clinicians who assess eligibility for available treatment options.” |
| “Superior safety and quality standards” | Red | Replace with verifiable process facts: the actual pharmacy, licensure, testing, prescribing, follow-up, and safety-escalation process. |
| “Partnerships with the world's best scientists, clinicians, and institutions, including Oxford and Yale” | Red until documented | Name only the exact person or agreement, role, dates, permission, and non-endorsement context. Remove superlatives. |
| “Prescription therapies and peptide protocols tailored to each individual” | Yellow | “Licensed clinicians develop an individualized care plan. Treatment and prescriptions, if any, depend on clinical eligibility.” |
| Email-only waitlist with a Privacy link | Yellow | Add purpose, sender, sensitive-data treatment, communication choice, retention/deletion path, and separate SMS consent if collected. Do not add the email to ad audiences without a lawful, disclosed basis. |
FTC's Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule has applied since October 21, 2024. It prohibits fake or false reviews and testimonials, sentiment-conditioned incentives, undisclosed insider reviews, and certain review suppression. A business that merely hosts reviews has a narrower role, but once it uses a review in marketing, it becomes a testimonial and ordinary claim-substantiation rules apply (FTC review rule Q&A). Health testimonials cannot communicate a result Elysium could not claim directly, and “results not typical” does not replace evidence of generally expected outcomes (FTC Health Products Compliance Guidance).
Allowed at launch:
Conditional:
Prohibited:
FTC's case against telehealth company NextMed is a direct warning: the agency alleged fake testimonials, stolen before/after images, unsubstantiated average weight-loss claims, hidden fees, negative-review suppression, and difficult cancellation in one funnel (FTC v. NextMed announcement).
Green requirements:
Red practices:
Treat a person's interest in a named condition, medication, or telehealth service as sensitive even when a particular data point is not conclusively protected health information. HIPAA is a floor for covered flows, not the whole privacy analysis. FTC's Health Breach Notification Rule can apply to health apps and services outside HIPAA, and unauthorized disclosure can be a reportable breach (FTC HBNR guide). Washington, Nevada, Connecticut, California, and other states impose additional health or sensitive-data duties.
| Zone | Examples | Default ad-tech rule | Required control |
|---|---|---|---|
| A: General public | Elysium home, generic service education with no condition/drug inference | Limited first-party analytics after review | Data minimization, consent/opt-out, no sensitive URL or event labels |
| B: Condition or product interest | Weight-loss page, peptide page, waitlist, email capture | No third-party ad pixels by default | Privacy review, separate health-data notice where required, consent and deletion path, no audience upload |
| C: Screening and intake | Quiz answers, symptoms, diagnoses, medications, photos, labs, eligibility | No Meta/Google/TikTok pixels, session replay, chat scraping, or ad audiences | HIPAA/health-data architecture, vendor agreements, encryption, minimum access, retention, audit logs |
| D: Authenticated care | Portal, messages, visit, prescription, lab, payment tied to care | No advertising trackers | BAAs where required, access controls, clinical retention, incident process |
HHS explains that tracking technologies on authenticated pages and pages where users enter appointment or symptom information can involve PHI. A cookie banner is not a HIPAA authorization, and a business associate agreement or another lawful HIPAA path may be required (HHS tracking-technology guidance). The 2024 court decision narrowed one part of the guidance concerning an unauthenticated page and IP address; it did not create a general pixel safe harbor.
State launch controls include:
The current TELI email-only form can reveal interest in longevity or prescription services by context. Before launch, state:
Do not add waitlist users to Meta/Google/TikTok custom audiences, combine them with supplement buyers, or infer a diagnosis without a separately reviewed lawful basis.
Care generally occurs where the patient is physically located. Elysium must verify location at the encounter and use a clinician who is licensed or otherwise authorized there (HHS cross-state licensure overview). Obtain and document the state-required telehealth consent before care (HHS informed-consent overview).
Before a state is turned on, the matrix must approve:
Do not say “available nationwide” or accept a consumer into a treatment path until every relevant row is green for the person's state and the pharmacy can lawfully dispense there.
Platform approval is an additional gate, not proof that the underlying marketing is lawful.
| Platform | Current U.S. launch implications | Elysium rule |
|---|---|---|
| Google Ads | Online pharmacy and telemedicine promotion is restricted; certification and often LegitScript are required. Unapproved substances and restricted prescription-drug terms may be disallowed (Google healthcare and medicines policy). | No campaign until the exact business, domain, geography, product, pharmacy, certification, keyword, creative, and destination are approved. |
| Meta | Prescription-drug, online-pharmacy, and telehealth advertising requires the applicable authorization, lawful status, audience, and country targeting under Meta's pharmacy and telehealth policy. | Re-check current Ads Manager eligibility at launch. No health-condition custom audiences, outcome testimonials, prohibited equivalence claims, or circumvention. |
| TikTok | U.S. prescription-medicine advertising may require proof of regulatory approval and age targeting; pharmacy/telehealth activity can require NABP or LegitScript evidence under TikTok's healthcare and pharmaceutical policy. | No creator or paid ad until product status, certification, age/state targeting, script, comments, and landing page clear review. |
Universal red practices:
Marketing cannot launch ahead of safety operations.
FDA reports hundreds of adverse events associated with compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide through May 2026 and warns that reports are likely undercounted because many state-licensed pharmacies are not federally required to report (FDA unapproved GLP-1 concerns).
Every externally visible claim should be a reusable registry object rather than freehand copy.
Required fields:
| Field | Required content |
|---|---|
| Claim ID and exact wording | Approved sentence, statistic, headline, caption, chart, and CTA variants |
| Status and channel | Green/yellow/red; website, paid, organic, email, SMS, provider, review, creator |
| Product identity | Brand/compound, ingredient/salt, route, form, dose, source pharmacy |
| Intended use and population | Exact indication or operational purpose, age, inclusion/exclusion |
| Evidence | Primary source, full study/report, date, owner, product/formulation match |
| Net-impression notes | Images, adjacent copy, URL, metadata, comparison, implied message |
| Required qualification | Risk, limit, material condition, typical result, source, disclosure placement |
| Prohibited variants | Shorthand, superlatives, brand comparisons, creator paraphrases |
| Permissions | Patient, clinician, creator, institution, copyright, HIPAA authorization as applicable |
| Approval and expiry | Medical, regulatory, legal, privacy; approval date; next review or trigger |
| Live instances | URL/ad/email/SMS/template and versioned screenshot |
Workflow:
/treatments/bremelanotide returned a 404.The launch owner should be able to answer yes to every applicable item.
The call resolved the consumer launch list, confirmed topical GHK-Cu, and confirmed no compounded GLP-1s at launch. The remaining blockers are:
This rulebook should be revalidated immediately before launch and at least monthly during the first six months. High-change items are:
This rulebook prioritizes current primary government and platform sources:
Operating rule: when the team cannot identify the exact drug, route, pharmacy, patient population, state, source, and substantiation behind a sentence, the sentence does not publish.
