CoreAge Rx edges out Bayan Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 52 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Bayan Health is still a genuine option — low published prices, and the plainest way of showing them: an open storefront carrying six figures with no account and no intake in the way. Microdose semaglutide is $99 a month, standard semaglutide $129, microdose tirzepatide $119 and standard tirzepatide $149, each sold once weekly with vitamin B6, with needle-free oral drops of both molecules at the microdose price. The microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones here, which catches families out elsewhere. Two things deserve weight against all that. The oral drops carry no published evidence for the route, and milligrams by mouth are not interchangeable with milligrams injected. And an orforglipron tablet now sells at $269 a month with no brand or manufacturer named, so ask whether it is Foundayo itself. It serves all 50 states, but no dispensing pharmacy is named. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic

What we like
- Six prices on an open storefront with no account, email or intake required

- Microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones, unlike several sellers
The caveats
- Oral drops are sold with no published pharmacokinetic evidence for the route
- Its $269/mo orforglipron tablet names no brand or manufacturer — ask whether it is Foundayo
- No dispensing pharmacy is named
