CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx advertises compounded semaglutide from $79 and tirzepatide from $129 per month, with dose-flat pricing stated in its FAQ. Confirm the total and refund terms before paying.
What's good
- CoreAge Rx publishes separate product prices for both molecules: semaglutide from $79 per month and tirzepatide from $129. That gives you two actual medication offers to compare rather than one generic GLP-1 starting figure.
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ says the price locked in at checkout stays the same in future months regardless of dose increases. I would save that confirmation with the order, because a low starting price matters much more when the prescribed maintenance dose costs the same.
- The product pages state that there are no long-term contracts or membership fees and advertise fast, free delivery. Compare those inclusions with the checkout total; the refund policy separately allows applicable consultation fees and shipping charges if disclosed there.
- CoreAge Rx uses the MD Integrations professional entities for medical care and prescribing. Its FAQ names physicians assigned in California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont, giving patients in those states a concrete medical contact to verify.
- CoreAge Rx offers account-based reordering and cancellation, and its help center says optional subscriptions can be managed in the member portal. Check whether your selected purchase is a one-time order or an automatically renewed subscription so the next charge is predictable.
- CoreAge Rx also advertises microdosing products at $79 for semaglutide and $129 for tirzepatide. These are separate lower-dose offers, not a reason to select your own dose or evidence that they work like the doses studied for approved products.
The fine print
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ promises an automatic 100% refund if the clinician declines your prescription, but its refund policy says applicable consultation fees of $50–$100 are nonrefundable. Ask which policy applies to the exact order and how much would be returned before you pay.
- CoreAge Rx's refund policy makes a medication order final once the prescription is approved and sent to the pharmacy, which can happen before shipping. Waiting until the parcel is dispatched may be too late to cancel an order or recover the medication charge. The policy also imposes a 30-day nonrefundable cutoff even when incomplete documentation has prevented fulfillment.
- CoreAge Rx does not publish a complete GLP-1 state list. Its FAQ says therapy-specific state restrictions are confirmed during intake, so a U.S. address alone does not establish that your selected medication is available where you live.
- CoreAge Rx does not name the dispensing pharmacy in its FAQ; it asks patients to contact support. Obtain the pharmacy's legal name, license and contact information before choosing a compounded prescription. The platform's branding does not identify who prepares your medication.
- CoreAge Rx's FAQ says there are no automatic rebills, while its refund policy and help center describe optional automatic renewals. I would confirm the selected purchase option and next charge date rather than treat the general FAQ answer as a guarantee for every order.
- CoreAge Rx offers compounded medication, which is not FDA-approved. Its FAQ says tirzepatide is typically formulated with B12 and that requests without it go to the prescriber. Ask why the exact formulation is appropriate for you; an added vitamin does not itself establish a lawful patient-specific difference.
Trellis Vitality
Compounded semaglutide at $150 and tirzepatide at $199 a month, flat at every dose with the month-to-month rate printed first — on a page that never says what the figure includes and beside two fees the marketing does not mention.
Why it's a deal
- The price is flat at every dose and the month-to-month rate is the first column of the grid rather than the last, so the number a shopper reads first is the number they will keep paying
- The whole grid sits on the product page before any intake: $150, $140 and $133 on semaglutide and $199, $189 and $179 on tirzepatide, with the plan lengths labeled
- The dispensing pharmacy is named with a street address, and the designated medical group is named with two physicians, one of whom has an identifier that can be checked against a federal registry
- The GLP-1 page's own questions name three states where the program is suppressed, which is a narrower and more useful statement than the all-fifty banner above it
- Side treatments are priced openly on the same page basis, so the GLP-1 figures can be read in context
- Support hours are published with a time zone rather than left as a promise of constant availability
The fine print
- The three- and six-month columns publish a per-month figure with no plan total and no stated billing frequency, so whether those plans are billed once or monthly, and for how much, appears on no page
- Two fees exist that the marketing site never mentions: $15 for an additional consultation or lab interpretation and $125 for an additional at-home blood draw, both after the eighth, charged to the card on file — while the homepage says there are no consultation costs
- The price grid itemizes nothing. The words included and membership do not appear on that page at all, so what $150 buys is unstated, and a lab kit described as part of the program is never priced and never said to be covered
- The site-wide banner and the terms claim all fifty states while the GLP-1 page's own questions say the program is not offered in every state and name three where it is suppressed "at minimum", with no full list
- The terms a patient accepts at the signup are unedited platform boilerplate: they name a different professional entity twenty-five times, never mention the medical group or the pharmacy the marketing site names, and impose a membership fee the marketing site says does not exist
- Those same signup terms carry fourteen unfilled placeholders where the customer service phone number, email address and mailing address belong — including inside the sentence telling a patient how to cancel
- The refund rules differ between the two terms documents with no clause saying which takes precedence
- A banner on every page promises patient care around the clock while the support page publishes weekday hours, email only, with no phone number anywhere on the site
- No 503A or 503B designation appears across seventeen marketing pages
