Winner: CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx takes it with a higher Verdict Score — 94/100 to 59/100 (grade A vs C). Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. NewSelf still earns its place — buyers who will prepay a full year and want the vitamin-blended compounded formulations.

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
NewSelf
What we like
- Every dose costs the same, with the ladders published: semaglutide 0.25-2.5mg and tirzepatide 2.5-15mg
- Coverage across 48 states plus Puerto Rico, wider than most compounded-only sellers
- LegitScript certified and using 503A licensed pharmacies
- Third-party potency, sterility and endotoxicity testing is advertised
- No membership fee, and the initial consultation is offered free
The caveats
- The FDA issued a warning letter to NewSelf Limited dba NewSelf on 20 February 2026 (ref 721472) over false or misleading claims on newself.com about its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, citing FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb)
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products and have not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
- The advertised $99.97 and $144.49 rates require a full year prepaid; the month-to-month prices are $134.99 and $224.99
- Not available in Mississippi or Louisiana
- Compounded only, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound route
