Visit New Wave HealthThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out New Wave Health on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 44 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
New Wave Health is still a genuine option — it names both molecules and prices neither: the only figure on the site is a “from $149” attached to no product. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose
- The offer includes medication, consultation and shipping, without an advertised membership fee
- 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

Mama-Match
New Wave Health
Rank #269 · Grade C
What we like
- It names its company, New Wave Health LLC, and says where it operates from
- It offers a microdose alongside the two usual molecules
The caveats
- It publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere
- The site's only figure, “from $149,” is attached to no product
- Canceling takes thirty days' notice and anything already started is non-refundable
