Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Embody | Strut Health |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Personalized compounded blends and hands-on support | Low-cost compounded GLP-1 with plain compounding disclosures |
| Medication type | Compounded GLP-1 with personalization | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide — sublingual/oral and once-weekly injection |
| Pricing model | Monthly subscription, formulation-tiered | Monthly auto-refill subscription; dose-tier 'starting at' entry pricing; medical-necessity gated |
| Semaglutide price | Compounded — $149/mo (limited-time promo, was $299) — verified 2026-07-14; confirm current price at checkout. Standard/recurring price not publicly listed. (Same offer showed a $99/mo $200-off promo earlier the same day — see price history.) | Compounded — sublingual/oral from $99/mo, injectable from $149/mo (auto-refill 'starting at' entry-dose pricing) |
| Tirzepatide price | Compounded tirzepatide / GLP-1+GIP offered; no tirzepatide price shown on the verified offer page — confirm at signup | Compounded — injectable from $199/mo; oral lozenge from $199/mo (lozenge only if a GLP-1 injection fails or can't be used) |
| Key watchout | Embody's published price is a live time-limited promo with no confirmed standing rate, and it changes intra-day: on 2026-07-14 the same offer URL showed $99/mo ('$200 OFF, was $299') in the morning and $149/mo ('$150 OFF, was $299') by evening. We rank it at its current verified purchasable price ($149/mo) and label it a promo — confirm the exact cost at checkout. Custom blends also warrant scrutiny on ingredient transparency. | Entry prices are the lowest-dose auto-refill rate — higher doses cost more, so confirm your dose at intake. Oral/sublingual and lozenge options require you to have failed or be unable to use an injectable GLP-1. |
