Visit Genesis HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Genesis Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 40 (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.
Genesis Health is still a genuine option — start with the regulatory record, because it concerns this website. In February 2026 the FDA wrote to Genesis Health International about false or misleading claims for the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide sold on its website, having reviewed the site the previous December. The prices are now public: compounded semaglutide is $175 billed monthly and tirzepatide $225, with lower per-month figures — down to $91.67 and $125 — only if you prepay three, six or twelve months. The big "per month" number on each product page is the annual-plan rate. Brand Wegovy is listed at $1,299 a month but marked sold out, and Zepbound and Ozempic show no price.

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
Genesis Health
Editors' Rating 40/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Publishes its month-to-month and prepaid prices for both compounded molecules side by side
- Lists brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy as well as compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Entry is a short online assessment rather than a scheduled video appointment
The caveats
- It carries an FDA warning letter from February 2026 about false or misleading claims for the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide offered on its own website
- The headline "per month" price on each product page is the prepaid annual rate ($1,100 a year for semaglutide, $1,500 for tirzepatide); paying month to month costs $175 or $225
- Brand Wegovy ($1,299 a month) is marked sold out, and Zepbound and Ozempic carry no published price
