CoreAge Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
CoreAge Rx is also our overall #1 pick — it tops the full scorecard at 91.8/100 (A−).

Graded #1 · A−
Strengths
- Flat all-in price with no month-two step-up
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
- All 50 states, LegitScript-verified
Where it loses points
- Not the cheapest sticker price
- Compounded only
- Pharmacy partner not yet publicly named
Graded #89 · C
Strengths
- A flat $179/mo month-to-month rate at every dose, stated in the company's own FAQ as "a flat $179/mo with no hidden fees" — there is no prepay rung to buy down to it, no membership fee and no per-visit charge on top
- Three named physicians with checkable credentials sit on the medical board — Dr Marc Gruner (sports medicine, trained at Mayo Clinic), Dr Jonathan Hinds (board-certified emergency medicine, trained at Rutgers) and Dr Gregory Tennant (fellowship-trained orthopaedic trauma surgeon, trained at Vanderbilt) — where most of this board names nobody at all
- Free two-day temperature-controlled shipping with injection supplies included, automatic refills on your own schedule, and pause or cancel yourself from the dashboard
- The lander carries its own bolded disclosure that the compounded product is not FDA-approved, rather than leaving a reader to work that out afterwards
Where it loses points
- One molecule only — the product is a compounded GLP-1/GIP built on tirzepatide, and there is no semaglutide option at any price
- The advertised "$99" is a first-month introductory rate, labelled "/first mo." on the page itself; from month two the bill is $179, so the first charge is not the standing cost
- Weekly subcutaneous injection only — no oral or sublingual route, and no brand-name Zepbound or Mounjaro lane
- The states served are published nowhere; one board physician is described as licensed in all 50, which is a fact about a clinician and not a statement of where the company can dispense
- The dispensing pharmacy is identified only as "a certified U.S. pharmacy" — never a facility, never a city, never a 503A or 503B designation
- No lab or monitoring programme is published — nothing states whether baseline or follow-up bloodwork is required, included in the price, or billed on top of it
- Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not a generic equivalent of Zepbound or Mounjaro
- The testimonials are first-name-and-age only, and several of them praise the NAD+ and glutathione lines rather than the GLP-1 programme, so they are no evidence about this product
