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
ElleS
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injectable and oral-capsule forms, plus microdose options
- Packages bundle the telehealth visit, medication, and shipping; Registered Dietitian support included
- Full legal suite published — Terms, Privacy Policy, Privacy Practices, and Medical Consent
- Broad menu: also TRT, HRT (estradiol), sexual health, hair loss, and longevity (sermorelin, NAD+)
The caveats
- Pricing not shown publicly — products and costs appear only after the intake flow
- Sold as 3- and 6-month packages rather than simple monthly plans
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named ('made in licensed US facilities')
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
