Gide Health
What we like
- Names its prescribing group, Beluga Health, and its dispensing pharmacy with an address and phone number
- Offers semaglutide as a needle-free daily oral drop as well as an injection
- Says plans include the doctor's visit, the medication and free shipping with no added fees
- Promises the same price at every dose, outside of promotional periods
- Lists the states it cannot serve for GLP-1 programs
Watch-outs
- Prices are shown only as starting or as-low-as figures, and the pages disagree with each other
- Plan length, billing cadence and the real charge sit behind an email gate early in the intake
- The site advertises a 15% weight-loss money-back promise, but its terms say all purchases are final
- Parts of the site still mention another company, Eden, in its testimonials and pharmacy text
- The named pharmacy says it lacks a license or sterile-compounding permit in ten states, including California and Texas
- Trustpilot says it removed the company's profile for going against its guidelines
- The LegitScript seal could not be matched to a public certification record
CoreAge Rx
What we like
- LegitScript certified — rigorous pharmacy standards
- Free 2-day shipping nationwide
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
- Lowest per-month pricing in the compounded segment
- 24/7 support team
- All 50 states covered
Watch-outs
- Compounded only — no brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- Newer brand with fewer independent reviews than legacy players
