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

Medical Health Institute

What we like

  • Operating entity disclosed: Medical Health Institute, LLC, with full Pinecrest, FL address and phone
  • Named medical director (Amy Wecker, MD) plus four more named clinicians on the about page
  • Three care pathways with starting-price anchors: $99 TRT / $129 peptides / $149 weight-loss
  • LegitScript Certified with a footer verification link
  • HIPAA compliance claimed

The caveats

  • GLP-1 medication options (semaglutide vs tirzepatide; compounded vs brand) not shown — gated behind the intake funnel
  • Pharmacy partner not named — only generic 'FDA-regulated facilities' language
  • State availability not disclosed
  • Several subpages (/weight-loss, /pricing, /products, /faq) returned server errors during verification
  • FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
