Visit Live VitalThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out Live Vital on the Luna Fit Score, 93 to 76 (A vs C). Women who want transparent flat pricing and dependable nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide, without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing CoreAge Rx.
Live Vital is still a genuine option — a one-physician practice whose founder is menopause-certified and has written a 40-page perimenopause guide — genuine midlife expertise, wrapped around the most misleading price presentation on the board. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing Live Vital goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, the full field we rank against Live Vital widens the field.

Luna Fit
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account — tirzepatide is often preferred where insulin resistance drives PCOS weight
- Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
- Available in all 50 states — no coverage gaps if you move or travel
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom price — budget shoppers can find cheaper teaser tiers elsewhere
- No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
- General metabolic program rather than a dedicated hormone/PCOS clinic
Luna Fit
Live Vital
Ranked #48 · Grade C
What we like
- Founder Dr. Patrick Taylor is a menopause-certified practitioner and lists women's health as his first specialty — a rare credential in this segment
- Publishes a free 40-page perimenopause clinical guide with 32 peer-reviewed citations, which frames peptide therapy as an adjunct to hormone therapy rather than a substitute for it
- Peptide and hormone therapy sit on the same account as GLP-1 care
The caveats
- The advertised '$99/mo' is a $299 prepaid ten-week protocol divided by three months — the real cost is closer to $128 per 30 days
- No month-to-month option exists at all; the prepaid protocol is the only way to buy
- The pricing page does not list semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide anywhere — the GLP-1s sit on separate pages it does not link to
