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

ElitePhysiqMD

What we like

  • Compounded semaglutide from $145/mo subscription with no video calls and cancel-anytime policy
  • LegitScript certified, HIPAA-compliant; prescriptions from board-certified physicians via 5-min online assessment
  • Medications from US-licensed 503A/503B compounding pharmacies, shipped discreetly in 5–7 business days
  • HSA/FSA eligible; accepts all 50 states with no insurance required
  • Peptide therapy also available: NAD+, sermorelin, CJC-1295/ipamorelin, GHK-Cu, and glutathione

The caveats

  • Required $49 telehealth visit is added to every order, increasing effective monthly cost above the headline price
  • No labs disclosed; medication plans don't appear to include bloodwork or baseline testing
  • No dietitian, coaching, or nutrition support mentioned; program is medication-only
  • Tirzepatide subscription price ($315/mo) is above the mid-range for compounded tirzepatide
  • Newer platform (founded late 2025); no Trustpilot rating or public patient reviews found
