Visit Lumora MDThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Lumora MD on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 42 (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.
Lumora MD is still a genuine option — lumora now prices every option on its product pages before you start: compounded semaglutide injections at $245 for a standard supply and tirzepatide at $325, with two- and three-month supplies that bring the monthly cost down to about $159 and $213, plus sublingual drops from $295. A single standard supply is on the expensive side. It also offers LegitScript certification, fifty-state coverage and a staffed phone line with hours, and it describes some of its peptide lines as investigational and for "research applications" while routing you into a prescribing flow.

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
Lumora MD
Editors' Rating 42/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Every supply option is priced on the product page before you start — standard, two-month and three-month
- The three-month supply brings semaglutide to about $159 a month and tirzepatide to about $213
- Sublingual drops offered as a needle-free option alongside the injections
The caveats
- A single standard supply is expensive — $245 for semaglutide and $325 for tirzepatide — and the page never says how many weeks a standard supply lasts
- Charges are generally non-refundable once an order is processed, and subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel
- Two different operating entity names appear across its own policies — "Blue Skies MD LLC" and "Blue Skies LLC"
