Visit New Wave HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out New Wave Health on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 44 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
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 at all. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
New Wave Health
Ranked #288 · Grade C
What we like
- It names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and says where it's based
- It offers a lower-dose microdose alongside the two usual molecules
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding are on its clinical-exclusion list
The caveats
- It publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- Its only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Canceling wants thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
