Pros & Cons Compared

Embody

Pros

+Oral tirzepatide gum is rare. Real option for needle-phobic users. (How well it absorbs vs the FDA-approved injection isn't published.)
+Advertised injection floors of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP, verified August 14, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
+Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
+100% money-back guarantee in writing: if you follow the program and don't see results in 6 months, they say they'll make it right.
+Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

−Runs two sibling storefronts most shoppers will never connect to it: SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com) are the same legal entity, Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. SnagRx still advertises a separate $69/$119 promotion; Embody now advertises $79/$129 under its own plan menu. Neither site tells shoppers they share an operator. See our [SnagRx review](/reviews/snagrx)
−The $79/$129 figures are advertised floors tied to a selected 4-, 12-, 24- or 52-week plan, not a verified no-commitment month-to-month rate. Confirm the plan length and total before payment.
−Trustpilot rating is 3.8 / 5 across 5,305 reviews, verified August 14, 2026. Price and billing remain recurring complaint themes, although many reviews describe earlier pricing structures.
−Embody names four pharmacy partners: RedRock Pharmacy, Health Warehouse, Precision Compounding and Triad Rx. It does not state whether each prescription is filled through a 503A pharmacy or a 503B outsourcing facility. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations; FDA closed it out in May 2023.
−No HIPAA disclosure on their site (HIPAA is the federal law protecting your medical info, most telehealth providers publish a statement confirming they follow it).
−Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
−If you stop treatment and come back, Embody's doctors will likely restart you at the lowest dose (2.5mg). It's their safety policy; raise your dose history at signup, the prescriber makes the final call.

Strut Health

Pros

+Specializes in oral compounded semaglutide, the go-to for patients who absolutely won't do injections
+Needle-free oral semaglutide tablets from $99/mo, one of the lowest oral entry prices in the table, with oral tirzepatide ($199/mo) and auto-refill injectables ($149 to $199/mo) if you switch formats
+Clear educational content about oral semaglutide absorption and how to maximize effectiveness
+Simple enrollment: online questionnaire, async provider review, medication shipped to your door

Cons

−Compounded only, no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Strut does not publish formulation-specific pharmacokinetic or comparative outcome evidence for its oral tablets, so their absorption and weight-loss results versus approved injections are unknown.
−Compounded oral semaglutide is not FDA-approved as a finished product or established as bioequivalent to approved oral or injectable semaglutide; do not infer equivalent dosing or results

Our Verdict
