Save ~91% vs brand-nameThe verdict
CoreAge Rx takes it on Value Score, 93 to 71 — an est. $99/mo first month, with no teaser step-up baked in. Magnolia Regenerative Medicine isn't out of it: Readers in one of the twenty-six states it serves who want a smaller operator with physical locations behind it, and who will price the first course rather than the continuing one.
CoreAge Rx is also our overall #1 pick across the whole deals ranking — a flat, all-in price on both molecules in all 50 states. That's why it wins here on the score, not just this matchup.

Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
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
Magnolia Regenerative Medicine
A Louisiana clinic selling compounded semaglutide at $119 and tirzepatide at $199 a month, advertised at $99 and $179 — figures that are three-month prepay arithmetic and that a first-time patient cannot reach at all.
Why it's a deal
- The states are published as an enumerated list of twenty-six rather than as an all-fifty claim with nothing behind it — an unusual piece of honesty in this category, and it is the harder thing to say
- The month-to-month rates are real and low: $119 for compounded semaglutide with B12 and $199 for tirzepatide, both at a stated weekly dose rather than as an unqualified figure
- Every plan names its milligram schedule, so a titration plan can be told apart from a flat minimum-dose plan before buying — most sellers publish neither
- Two physical clinics with street addresses stand behind the telehealth service, and a phone number is answered under the company name
- Lab panels and the fees that can be charged are published with amounts rather than reserved in the abstract
- The peptide and vitamin lines are priced openly on the same basis, so the GLP-1 figures can be read in context
The fine print
- The advertised prices are prepay arithmetic. "Starting at $99" is $297 for three months divided by three, and "starting at $179" is $537 divided by three; the month-to-month rates are $119 and $199
- A first-time patient cannot reach the advertised figure at all: answering that this is a first course produces titration plans at $357 and $597 for three months, which work out to exactly the month-to-month rates — so committing three months saves a new patient nothing
- A third pair of prices, $109 and $159, appears on another page of the same site under differently named products with a different vitamin, and the site never reconciles them
- Every address in the site's own page index points at a second domain that does not resolve at all, and the only cancellation address the terms give is on that dead domain — so the published way to cancel cannot be delivered
- The twenty-six-state list is not enforced at the point of sale: the intake's shipping menu offers all fifty states and more, including Louisiana, which the same site says is not a telehealth state
- No compounding pharmacy is named, no 503A or 503B designation appears anywhere, and the terms expressly decline to name the prescribing practice
- Cancellation requires written notice at least twenty-four hours before renewal, with no refund for notice given inside that window or after the charge
- The physical clinics publish no in-person price of any kind, so a local reader cannot compare the two ways of buying the same treatment
