Strut Health
Our Review
Strut Health receives a 3.0 out of 5 from our editorial team, with its reasonable pricing and B+ BBB rating offset by zero Trustpilot reviews, low ongoing support, and no lab testing or dietitian access. The absence of any independent patient feedback after five years of operation is a notable concern. This provider is best suited for self-directed patients who want straightforward access to affordable compounded GLP-1 medications and do not require ongoing clinical support or extensive hand-holding.

About Strut Health

Strut Health has been in operation since 2020, giving it more tenure than many of its GLP-1 telehealth competitors. The platform offers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide at prices ranging from $99 to $199 per month β€” a straightforward and relatively affordable pricing structure. However, despite several years in the market, Strut Health has struggled to build the external validation and clinical depth that our editorial team looks for in a recommended provider.

The most notable gap in Strut Health’s profile is its complete absence from Trustpilot. With zero Trustpilot reviews, prospective patients have no independent peer feedback to reference when evaluating this provider. For a company that has been operating for over five years, this is an unusual and concerning gap. Most providers of this tenure have accumulated at least some review history, and the complete absence suggests either very low patient volume or a lack of engagement with review platforms that patients commonly rely on.

On the accreditation front, Strut Health does hold a B+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, which provides some baseline level of trust. A B+ grade indicates that the company has generally responded to complaints and maintained acceptable business practices, even if there are some unresolved issues. This BBB presence is the provider’s primary source of external validation and partially offsets the lack of patient reviews elsewhere.

The clinical offering at Strut Health is limited. The platform does not include lab testing or dietitian access, and our research indicates low ongoing support β€” meaning patients should not expect frequent check-ins, proactive outreach, or robust customer service after their initial consultation. For patients who are self-directed and simply want access to affordable compounded GLP-1 medications without extras, this stripped-down model may be adequate. For anyone expecting a guided experience, it will likely feel insufficient.

At its core, Strut Health is a basic, no-frills compounded medication provider with reasonable pricing and minimal support infrastructure. The B+ BBB rating provides some reassurance, but the total absence of patient reviews after five years in business is a data point that cannot be ignored. Our editorial team sees this as a provider that functions adequately for its narrow purpose but has not demonstrated the clinical quality, patient engagement, or reputation building necessary to earn a strong recommendation.

From the Inside

What the Strut Health Intake Looks Like

We walked through Strut’s full GLP-1 intake ourselves, from the signup gate to the biometric ID verification. Here’s what an actual prospective patient encounters before being prescribed.

26
Total Screens
~9 min
Time to Complete
10
Distinct Stages

Clinical Rigor
6
/ 10

Solid for a compounded-only provider β€” dedicated MTC family-history, pancreatitis with explicit “elevated lipase” specificity, two gallbladder questions, and a brand-name GLP-1 allergy screen. Knocked down by the absence of a validated PHQ, eating-disorder, or substance/alcohol screen and by a single 3-point combined diet/activity question.

Friction Level
7
/ 10

Above average. Account creation comes first (email and phone or Google SSO before any clinical question), and Strut requires Persona biometric ID verification β€” government photo ID plus a face match β€” before checkout. Only the second observed provider in our catalog to require this level of identity verification.

The 10 Stages

Stage 1
Signup Gate
Email + phone (or Google SSO) is required before the state check. Telemedicine consent, privacy policy, refund policy, and terms are linked from the signup card.
Stage 2
State Eligibility
Arkansas residents are turned away with a “I confirm I am not a resident of the restricted state(s)” checkbox.
Stage 3
Treatment Selection (Early)
“Choose your preferred dose” β€” Semaglutide injection (Semaglutide + B6 / pyridoxine) starting at $289 for a 30-day starter dose, with multiple titration tiers and an oral lozenge alternative for patients who can’t use injections.
Stage 4
Intro
“To proceed, we need to ask some medical questions.” Patients are told the questionnaire takes about 5 minutes; in practice it runs 18 questions.
Stage 5
Medical Questionnaire (18 Q)
Reasons for compounded vs commercial, side-effect concerns, sex at birth, prior GLP-1 use, height/weight, weight-loss goal, age range, lifestyle self-assessment, pancreatitis (with elevated lipase), MTC personal/family history, gallbladder issues + removal, GI/safety multi-select, GLP-1 brand allergy check, and current meds free-text.
Stage 6
Review Answers
Explicit “Thanks for answering the medical questions!” review screen with a “Review my answers” button before continuing.
Stage 7
Identity Verification
Persona biometric verification β€” government-issued photo ID upload plus a face match. Confirm-your-details follows: legal first name, last name, DOB, and address.
Stage 8
Review Cart
Selected dose and price line items with itemized breakdown. Pre-qualification screen lists what’s included: Medical Provider Consult, No Hidden Fees, No Insurance Needed, Free Shipping, Cancel Anytime.
Stage 9
Profile + Shipping Info
Profile details and shipping address. The breadcrumb separates these into two stages, but they sit between cart review and checkout.
Stage 10
Checkout β†’ Complete
Payment and the final completion screen. Compounded-only, no insurance coordination β€” fully self-pay.

Clinical Safety Screens Performed

βœ“ Pancreatitis β€” dedicated screen, with explicit “elevated blood lipase” wording
βœ“ MTC personal & family history β€” dedicated FDA black-box screen
βœ“ Gallbladder issues + prior gallbladder removal β€” two separate screens
βœ“ GI / safety multi-select (IBS, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, gastroparesis, suicidal ideation history)
βœ“ GLP-1 class allergy screen (Semaglutide / Tirzepatide brand-name allergy)
βœ“ Current medications free-text with examples and a 4-week recency window
βœ“ Government photo ID + face match (Persona biometric verification)
βœ“ Side-effect concerns multi-select for personalized titration

⚠ What Strut’s Intake Doesn’t Do

Strut’s intake doesn’t use a validated PHQ-2 or PHQ-9 depression screen β€” suicidal ideation history is a checkbox in the GI/safety multi-select rather than its own question. There is no dedicated eating-disorder screen, no substance or alcohol screen, no general drug or food allergy screen beyond the GLP-1 class, no actual blood pressure reading, and no diet or exercise history depth (one combined 3-point lifestyle question). Sex at birth is collected as a binary Male/Female only, with no separate gender identity question. MEN2 is not named explicitly β€” the FDA black-box screen covers MTC personal and family history but uses “thyroid nodules” as its accompanying wording.

πŸ’‘ The Form Asks Why You Need Compounded

Strut’s questionnaire includes an unusual 8-option multi-select asking why a patient needs compounded Semaglutide rather than commercial brand-name GLP-1: an allergy to a commercial-product ingredient, microdosing or non-standard titration needs, B6 (pyridoxine)-modified side-effect mitigation, B6 supplementation for energy/fatigue/neuropathy, GLP-1 not being available in commercial form, inability to use injections (with the oral lozenge as an alternative), or “other reason.” The form notes explicitly that “cost is not an acceptable reason” on the other-reason free-text field. This framing reflects the post-shortage compounding landscape, where a patient-specific medical justification is required to dispense a compounded version of a commercially available product.
