Factor by factor

CoreAge Rx
The honest lowest price: both molecules at one flat, all-in monthly rate that never steps up after month one.
Why it's a deal
- 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 — no lock-in
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of teaser tiers advertise lower month-one rates
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner
ElitePhysiqMD
ElitePhysiqMD is a physician-led telehealth platform prescribing compounded semaglutide (from $145/mo) and tirzepatide (from $315/mo subscription) to patients in all 50 states.
Why it's a deal

- 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 fine print
- 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
