Visit Joi + BlokesThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Joi + Blokes on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 63 (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.
Joi + Blokes is still a genuine option — a women's hormone and wellness brand (Joi, with a men's side called Blokes) that also sells compounded GLP-1s: semaglutide at $179 a month and tirzepatide at $249, with the first month at $99 or $149. The price includes medication, clinician consults and a health coach you can message. Billing is quarterly, and while the product page says cancel anytime, the Terms set a three-month minimum. It also holds a June 2026 FDA warning letter over how it marketed compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. Brand-name Zepbound is available as a $99-a-month program, with the vials bought separately from LillyDirect. The same company offers HRT, thyroid care and lab panels, which helps if weight is only one piece of what changed. 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
