Visit Goldspan HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Goldspan Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 32 (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.
Goldspan Health is still a genuine option — two things shape this listing more than the sticker does. Goldspan publishes no figure anywhere on its own website — not on the homepage, not on the weight-loss category page — and every product instead links out to a separate storefront on another domain, where semaglutide finally reads $229 and tirzepatide $299, each paired with B12. That storefront then advertises the price as monthly while stating that a new supply arrives automatically every four weeks, which means thirteen charges a year rather than twelve: about $2,977 for semaglutide and $3,887 for tirzepatide, roughly $230 and $300 more than a monthly reading implies. Both figures were already at the higher end of the compounded market before that adjustment. The credit side is real enough: a longevity platform spanning eleven protocol categories, medication dispensed through licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies, and a flat price at any dose. The fifty-state claim on the homepage is qualified by the terms, which say some therapies are unavailable in some states. 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
Goldspan Health
Editors' Rating 32/100 · Grade C
What we like
- A flat price at any dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Medication dispensed through licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies
- Sits inside a broad longevity platform of eleven protocol categories
The caveats
- No price appears anywhere on Goldspan's own site — you must click out to a third-party storefront
- A lab panel is required 60–90 days after you start and once a year after that, at extra cost
- Billed every 4 weeks while advertised as monthly, which is thirteen charges a year
