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

Curex

What we like

  • Semaglutide costs $199 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
  • Tirzepatide costs $199 a month, 20% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
  • Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
  • The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
  • Serves 45 states

Watch-outs

  • Not included in the monthly price: lab work
  • Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
  • The FDA has issued Curex a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
  • 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
