Ranked #218 for women · Grade C
Metabolic-Fit / 100
Best for: Someone shopping mainly on price who wants to see every figure before handing over anything, and who will stay on the two established molecules rather than the ones marked coming soon.
Visit Bayan HealthThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Bayan Health on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 37 (A− vs C). Mothers who want a fixed monthly price, a real clinician rather than an intake quiz, and uninterrupted nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide while they work out the timing around pregnancy or weaning.
Bayan Health is still a genuine option — the lowest published prices in this group, and shown the plainest way: an open storefront with six figures on it, no account and no intake needed. Microdose semaglutide is $99 a month, microdose tirzepatide $119, standard semaglutide $129 and standard tirzepatide $149, each sold once weekly with vitamin B6, with needle-free oral drops of both molecules at the microdose price. The microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones, which is not true of every seller here. Two things deserve weight against that. The oral drops are sold with no published evidence for the route, and milligrams under the tongue are not interchangeable with milligrams injected. And the same page advertises retatrutide, labeled "GLP-3", as a product coming soon, alongside orforglipron and two oral tablets — retatrutide is investigational and approved for nothing, and "GLP-3" is a nickname rather than a drug class. No state list is published and no dispensing pharmacy is named. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A−
What we like
- A single flat monthly rate — no teaser first month that jumps at the first refill
- A prescriber reviews your history and will actually talk through timing if you're postpartum, nursing, or planning another pregnancy
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one chart, so switching molecules doesn't mean switching providers
The caveats
- Not the lowest sticker price — a couple of budget compounders come in under it
- Compounded only; there's no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound lane here
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB or hormone practice
Metabolic-Fit / 100
Bayan Health
Ranked #218 · Grade C
What we like
- Six prices published openly on the storefront with no account, email or intake
- The cheapest published rates in this group, from $99 a month
- Microdose tiers genuinely cost less than the standard ones, unlike several sellers here
The caveats
- Advertises retatrutide, marketed as "GLP-3", as coming soon — a drug not approved for anything
- Oral drops are sold with no published pharmacokinetic evidence for that route
- Three further products are listed as coming soon with no price, including two oral tablets
