Visit DoctorAdamThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out DoctorAdam on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 55 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
DoctorAdam is still a genuine option — there are no needles here: DoctorAdam sells its GLP-1s only as daily tablets, which makes it genuinely different rather than another compounder with a slightly different number. Semaglutide tablets from $129 a month, tirzepatide tablets from $199, shipped to all fifty states on what they call flat monthly pricing. Do read the cards and not just the numbers, though: NAD+ injections also cost $129 and sit right beside them. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Rank #31 · Grade C
What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose

- The legal footer identifies the platform and the entities responsible for clinical care
The caveats
- The main site and a separate offer page show different prices
- The FAQ and policy differ on automatic rebilling and denial refunds
- State restrictions; orders become final when sent to pharmacy, with a 30-day refund cutoff
Mama-Match
DoctorAdam
Rank #165 · Grade C
What we like
- Both GLP-1s come as daily tablets: no injection needed at all
- Shipping to all fifty states, said clearly
- "Flat monthly pricing — no hidden fees", with US-licensed pharmacies named
The caveats
- There is no injectable option, which rules it out if you want the form the trials were run on
- Both prices say "from", so your dose may move them
- NAD+ injections also appear at $129, right beside the semaglutide tablets at the same price
