Visit Ondra HealthTry Ageless
Shoppers who weight a named, checkable pharmacy and a verifiable prescriber above a low sticker, and who will read past the entry-price cards to the month-to-month column beneath them.
Visit Try AgelessThe verdict
Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 48. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. Try Ageless still earns a C — Shoppers who weight a named, checkable pharmacy and a verifiable prescriber above a low sticker, and who will read past the entry-price cards to the month-to-month column beneath them.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the board). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Ondra Health.

Ondra Health
90/100Where the value is
- Among the lowest disclosed prices on the board — $93 semaglutide and $166 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states with both molecules published for clean cost modeling
- LegitScript-certified, and offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
The tradeoffs
- A newer, lower-profile operator without CoreAge's long flat-price track record
- No oral/sublingual route
Try Ageless
48/100Where the value is
- The compounding pharmacy is NAMED and lookupable — The Pharmacy Hub, Miami FL — which most of this board's programs never manage
- The prescriber is named AND independently verifiable: Wasef Health, PC, medical prescriber Michael Wasef, MD, NPI 1417261926, which resolves in NPPES to an active Internal Medicine registration with a Florida licence
- Three routes on one plan — semaglutide injection, tirzepatide injection and sublingual tirzepatide drops — and the clinician may switch your format under the existing plan at no extra fee
The tradeoffs
- The two "ENTRY PRICE" cards and the hero all advertise yearly prepay rungs as monthly rates — "from $199/mo" semaglutide, "from $249/mo" tirzepatide and "$159/mo from" on the drops are the 12-month rungs, requiring $2,388, $2,988 and $1,908 up front; the true month-to-month prices are $279, $349 and $199
- Its own two commerce paths disagree by more than half: the public tryageless.com shop lists the same semaglutide injection at $119 to $229 depending on prescribed dose, as a one-time purchase "for a month supply", while the plan page our link leads to starts at $279 month-to-month
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Lovely Meds, Inc. dba Lovely Meds in September 2025. We still list and link to Try Ageless; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
