CoreAge Rx
What we like
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- Available in all 50 states
- Straightforward, low-friction cancellation
The caveats
- Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
Always Wellness and Recovery
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with personalized dosing, not one-size-fits-all
- No mandatory subscription — cancel anytime
- Every case reviewed by a board-certified US physician (medical director Dr. M. Reyes, MD)
- Unlimited HIPAA-secure messaging with the care team
- Lab work included where clinically indicated; free discreet shipping in 3-5 days
The caveats
- Pricing is not shown until you complete an application
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products
- No LegitScript certification visible and the compounding pharmacy is not named
- Cash-pay only — no insurance billing
