Pros & Cons Compared
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–$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. Oral tablets carry a bioavailability caveat vs injections, so results may come slower on the needle-free formats.
- −Oral compounded semaglutide has lower bioavailability than injectable forms, so plan for potentially slower or smaller weight-loss results

Cons
- −$269/mo without insurance is expensive for what's included clinically

- −The Sequence acquisition is still integrating, some operational inconsistencies remain
- −Less medication flexibility than pure-play GLP-1 platforms
