Strut Health
What we like
- Both LegitScript and ACHC accredited — pharmacy oversight most compounded GLP-1 providers don't carry
- Oral lozenge option for semaglutide ($99/mo) and tirzepatide ($199/mo) — an injection-free alternative
- Auto-refill pricing saves 13–21% vs one-off orders
- Free unlimited follow-up messaging with board-certified US physicians
- Ships to 49 states (only Arkansas excluded)
Watch-outs
- Requires a "medical necessity" review, but the criteria aren't published — you can't self-screen before paying for a consult
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Pharmacy partners aren't named — you can't verify the compounding source
- No insurance accepted — cash pay only
- Phone consultation requirement varies by state

- Free 2-day shipping nationwide
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
