Oak Longevity

#18 of 54
7.5/10

Telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the lower end of market pricing, across injectable and non-injectable routes, alongside a longevity stack (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin). Every dose is priced the same, so titrating up does not raise the monthly cost. Plans run as a subscription that renews automatically and can be cancelled from the account at any time.

FeatureCare Bare RxOak Longevity
Why each oneOral tablets and injectables from one provider, with brand Rybelsus as the pill option and prescribing by a named physician group listed with NPI numbers.
One price per medication regardless of dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill. Combined with three compounded routes and a longevity peptide menu, Oak reads as a 'menu' platform rather than the typical single-product flow.

Pros & Cons Compared

Care Bare Rx

Pros

  • +Oral tablets and injectables are both offered, so there is a needle-free route, with weight loss plans starting at $199/mo
  • +Named physician leadership (Dr. Ana Lisa Carr MD, Dr. Kelly Tenbrink MD) adds accountability
  • +The listed price includes telehealth consultations, a treatment plan, the monthly prescription, shipping and email and phone support, per its FAQ
  • +Free shipping included on all orders

Cons

  • Programs auto-renew and the medical consent page says there are no refunds or exchanges, with consult fees non-refundable even if you are not approved. You have to request cancellation before your next payment processes or you are billed again.
  • A third party review link is not shown on the site's home, about, FAQ or contact pages (checked 2026-09-03), and two of its own testimonials credit CareGLP, the platform its FAQ says powers the program, and a Dr. Powers who is not among the four physicians the FAQ names. The named prescribers, listed with NPI numbers, are the trust signal that does check out.
  • No insurance is accepted, so budget the $199/mo as an out-of-pocket cost. FSA and HSA cards are accepted, which the pricing grid and the FAQ both state.

Oak Longevity

Pros

  • +A $167/mo starting price on its compounded semaglutide page, with no membership fee, free shipping and free health coaching included
  • +Every dose costs the same, so moving to a higher dose during titration does not raise the monthly bill, stated on the product page and in the blog
  • +Three compounded routes including a non-injectable oral or sublingual option, unusual at this price
  • +Longevity peptides (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin) sit alongside the GLP-1 menu on one platform
  • +Money-back guarantee if not approved by physician, useful safety net for borderline-eligibility patients
  • +Free shipping and free health coaching included in every program

Cons

  • Compounded is all you can actually buy. Its employer page says brand name is available alongside compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide, but no consumer page sells a brand product and the site has no Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic or Mounjaro page (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • Obesity-certified doctors are advertised on the weight loss page, but no clinician roster or credentials are published, and no lab panels or blood work are offered anywhere on the site (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • The 'up to 50% cheaper than competitors' marketing claim is unverified and inconsistent, judge Oak on its posted prices, which are genuinely low, not on the slogan
  • The longevity add-ons it lists (NAD+, Glutathione, Sermorelin) have limited clinical evidence for weight loss specifically, if weight loss is the goal, the GLP-1 alone does the work and the stack is optional
  • The operating entity appears only in the footer and legal pages, as Leaf Longevity Holdings Corp trading as Oak Longevity, and no founding date, named leadership, about page or team page exists on the site (rendered check 2026-09-03)
  • Its published starting price is not consistent: $119 a month in the homepage FAQ, $167 on the compounded semaglutide page, $180 in its own blog and $190 on the weight loss page, so settle the figure at checkout before you commit

Our Verdict

Oak Longevity edges out Care Bare Rx with a score of 7.5/10 vs 7.4/10. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: Care Bare Rx is from $199/mo; Oak Longevity is from $167/mo. Care Bare Rx offers both brand-name and compounded medications, giving you more flexibility.

Cheapest complete recurring price in our index

Eden Health GLP-1

$99/mo month-to-month, from $34 on a plan · 6.9/10 · Both

Both Care Bare Rx and Oak Longevity start above the cheapest complete recurring program we track. Across all 54 providers in our index, the lowest price with affirmative medication, consultation, and shipping inclusion is Eden Health GLP-1 at $99/mo, price checked August 28, 2026. It scores 6.9/10 and is not the highest-scored provider in our full rankings, so this is a cost floor rather than a recommendation. Worth knowing before you decide.
