Visit KinaThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Kina on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 53 (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.
Kina is still a genuine option — a menopause clinic that treats GLP-1 weight care as a menopause problem, which almost nothing else on our list does. Four routes are published with prices attached: semaglutide injection at $199 a month, semaglutide dissolving tablets at $279, tirzepatide injection at $249 and tirzepatide sublingual drops at $229, flat at every dose, with anti-nausea support included free for the first two months. The catch is a real one and it is not hidden in the small print so much as split across two pages. The weight page promises no membership and one all-in price; the Terms you actually agree to describe membership plans, recurring charges, and medication billed separately on top.

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
Kina
Editors' Rating 53/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Genuinely menopause-first — the weight care is framed around hormonal change rather than bolted onto a general weight clinic
- Four delivery routes published with prices: two semaglutide, two tirzepatide, including sublingual drops and dissolving tablets
- Flat pricing at every dose on all four, stated plainly as 'same price at every dose, no surprise increases'
The caveats
- Its own pages contradict each other on the central question: the weight page says '$0 membership or hidden fees, ever' while the Terms describe membership plans, recurring charges, and medication 'billed separately'
- The Terms are what you legally attest to, and they say membership fees are non-refundable once a clinician has reviewed your intake
- Shipped medication orders are non-refundable under the same clause
