Visit ZipHealthThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out ZipHealth on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 86 to 41 (B vs C). Someone considering both compounded injection options who wants an advertised flat price without a required subscription and will confirm the exact prescription, state access and refund terms.
ZipHealth is still a genuine option — the unusual thing about ZipHealth is what it does not sell: there is no compounded anything here. It carries brand-name Zepbound, the Wegovy pen and pill, and Foundayo — orforglipron, Lilly's once-daily tablet — with a dose-by-dose price table published for each. That transparency is rare. So is the fee it sits beside: $79 per fill, charged to new and repeat patients alike, and excluded from every price on the table. The cheapest real month here is $149 plus $79; Zepbound at its top doses is $449 plus $79. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
Price, access & features
Price highlights compare average monthly budgets, using 52 weeks ÷ 12 months for weekly cycles. Quoted charges retain their billing units; unknown periods and fee-only or prepaid quotes do not compete.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Metabolic-Fit 86/100 · Grade B
What we like
- Officially linked public offer advertises $79/month semaglutide and $129/month tirzepatide across doses
- Advertises care and free overnight cold shipping within those prices, with no membership fee
- Public offer describes one-time purchases, no required subscription and the same refill price
The caveats
- Main navigation still shows semaglutide from $99, conflicting with the $79 officially linked offer
- A patient-specific prescription quantity and checkout total were not verified; confirm before paying
- State eligibility depends on therapy; nationwide access should not be assumed
Metabolic-Fit / 100
ZipHealth
Metabolic-Fit 41/100 · Grade C
What we like
- No compounded medication at all — every product is the FDA-approved original, which removes an entire category of uncertainty
- Publishes a dose-by-dose price table for each product rather than a single "from" figure
- Offers Foundayo (orforglipron), a once-daily oral GLP-1 tablet needing no refrigeration, shipped from Eli Lilly
The caveats
- A $79 clinical service and support fee sits outside every published price and applies "for new and repeat patients", so it recurs
- Price climbs steeply with dose: Zepbound runs $299 at 2.5mg and $449 from 7.5mg up, before the fee
- The site states that its prices are "an estimate only and is not final" and that the pharmacy confirms the final price at fulfillment
