About Nucore Health

You will not see a price at Nucore Health until the intake quiz is done. The company is owned by physicians, carries LegitScript certification, and reaches all 50 states. Its clinical engine is OpenLoop Health: choose a treatment, then work through a secure medical intake. A licensed provider judges eligibility before anything is written. Compounded GLP-1, semaglutide and tirzepatide, forms the core, a microdose tirzepatide protocol included, with NAD+, sermorelin and MIC B12 beside them. The pitch leans longevity and performance rather than weight loss by itself.

Pros & Cons

bmiMD

What we like

  • Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Tirzepatide at $139 a month, 48% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
  • Coverage is published for all 50 states
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register

Watch-outs

  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
