Head-to-head comparison
Bodybuilding Health+ vs CoreAge Rx
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
The Bodybuilding.com brand's new compounded-telehealth arm — cheap semaglutide that really does fall to $139/mo if you prepay a year, sat next to a tirzepatide line whose bundles cost more per month than paying monthly, plus a deep sermorelin, NAD+, and peptide menu built for the lifter-longevity crowd.
$179/mo sema · $209/mo tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: Its tirzepatide bundles cost MORE per month than paying monthly — $286 at three months, $250 at six and $244 at twelve, against $209 month-to-month — and all three are badged as savings, the 12-month one as "Best Value · Save $586" while billing $2,922 against $2,508. Only the semaglutide ladder actually descends
Desk Score
One price at every dose, both molecules, all 50 states. The $99 and $149 figures are 12-month plans paid up front, not a monthly bill.
$99/mo (12-month prepay) sema · $149/mo (12-month prepay) tirz · Verified August 2026
Marked down on: The advertised $99/$149 per month is a 12-month plan paid in full ($1,188 / $1,788 up front); no month-to-month price is published
CoreAge Rx takes this head-to-head with the higher Desk Score, 94/100 (A) against 82/100 (B−) for Bodybuilding Health+. Bodybuilding Health+ still holds its ground where its strengths line up with yours.
