STRIVING SINCE 2018
We Take Medicine Personally
More than a compounding pharmacy, we’re on a mission to flip the personal wellness script. We reject the one-size-fits-all approach to medicine—because more options mean better outcomes. When people are the bottom line, medicine becomes about results, rigor, and reinvention. That’s why we’re striving for the personal side of healthcare.
Personal medicine is under attack. We're fighting back.

Frequently Asked Questions
So…what is compounding?
Most medications are mass-produced. Compounding offers more flexibility—because your formulations can be crafted for you, not the masses.
With compounding, we can customize your medication's ingredients and dosage form (capsules, troches, injections, creams, ointments, suppositories, etc.). We can combine multiple medications, eliminate common allergens, address multiple health concerns with a single formulation, or tailor your dose rather than delivering only rigid, one-size-fits-all options.
Compounding opens up a world of personalized medicine that’s pharmaceutically sound, rigorously regulated, and personal to your needs.
What standards does Strive follow?
Strive’s operating and compounding processes adhere to state and federal regulations, and we also go far above and beyond regulatory standards to ensure quality compounded medications.
This looks like:
- Vetting all of our vendors and pharmaceutical ingredients through a rigorous qualification process.
- Frequently testing active ingredients and finished compounded products via third-party analytical assessment for sterility, potency, and endotoxins.
- Continuous training for all Strive compounding staff to demonstrate full competency and cultivate mastery in their roles.
- A robust internal quality assurance program that regularly monitors and audits processes and procedures.
- Unwavering commitment to sanitizing equipment and facilities, preventing cross-contamination, and maintaining aseptic conditions.
Healthcare is personal to us, meaning we never settle when it comes to formulations, ever-evolving best practices, and compounding standards. Striving for the best isn’t just what we value—it’s who we are. It’s in our DNA and our relentless commitment to quality.
How is Strive different from other pharmacies?
The short answer: We’re a compounding pharmacy that cares about people.
The longer, more impassioned answer: We’re a compounding pharmacy, which means we offer flexibility that most big pharma options simply can’t.
We're different from other pharmacies because healthcare has become an industry machine that sometimes forgets the human element, even though humans are the entire reason healthcare exists. We're striving to fix this imbalance.
When you walk into Strive, you're seen and welcomed as a real person with a real life and unique needs. Instead of seeing numbers, we see people—whole human beings with stories, challenges, and the potential to thrive. Nothing thrills us more than helping people strive for their very best life.
Will insurance cover my compounded medications?
Some insurance companies cover compounded medication, some don't, and others decide on a case-by-case basis. However, compounded medications are frequently cheaper out-of-pocket anyway because insurance companies use a tiered system to determine what and how much they'll cover.
Sometimes, working with your healthcare provider to get a longer day supply for your prescription can also help cut costs. A lot of work goes into compounding medications, so a 60—or 90-day supply is efficient and could save you money in the long run.
We’re happy to help you look at your options!
Does compounding work for children’s medications?
Compounding can make a big difference when it comes to children's medications. It's not fun for anyone when kids have to suffer through medication they hate. At Strive, not only do we take sensitivities and preexisting needs seriously, but we can also affect application method, form, and flavor, so taking medication is a more pleasant experience.
What about pets?
Yes! Your furry family members have sensitivities and preferences just like we do! If they hate their medication, they might spit it out or resist medications, but compounding means we have more options, including making medications taste better or easier to disguise.
How does the medication customization process work at Strive?
If you’re a patient:
Talk to your provider about working with Strive and exploring medication options that interest you. You can also browse our directory of providers already partnering with Strive to find someone who understands what tailored medication regimens can look like for you.
