Visit DoctorAdamThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out DoctorAdam on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 44 (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.
DoctorAdam is still a genuine option — no injections here at all — DoctorAdam sells its GLP-1s only as daily oral tablets, which makes it a different proposition rather than another compounder at a slightly different price. Semaglutide tablets from $129 a month, tirzepatide tablets from $199, shipped to all fifty states on what it calls flat monthly pricing. Read the cards rather than the numbers, though: NAD+ injections are also $129 and sit close by on the same page. 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
DoctorAdam
Editors' Rating 44/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Both GLP-1s come as daily oral tablets, with no injection required at all
- Delivery to all fifty states, stated plainly
- "Flat monthly pricing — no hidden fees", with US-licensed pharmacies named as the source
The caveats
- No injectable option at all, which rules it out if you want the form most trial evidence rests on
- Both prices are "from", so dose may move them
- NAD+ injections are also listed at $129, next to the semaglutide tablets at the same figure
