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, $69/mo (limited-time promo, was $299), verified 2026-08-21; confirm current price at checkout. Standard/recurring price not publicly listed. (Same offer showed $99/mo and $149/mo promos on 2026-07-14, 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, $119/mo (flat pricing shown on the verified offer page), verified 2026-08-21; no 'was' comparison price shown for tirzepatide specifically, confirm at signup.	Compounded, injectable from $149/mo (price cut from $199, re-verified 2026-08-21); 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: it changed intra-day on 2026-07-14 ($99/mo AM, '$200 OFF, was $299', to $149/mo PM, '$150 OFF, was $299'), and by 2026-08-21 the same offer URL had dropped further to a new low. We rank it at its current verified purchasable price ($69/mo semaglutide) 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.

Which is better for semaglutide or tirzepatide, Embody or Strut Health?

Embody starts lower on both semaglutide and tirzepatide based on listed entry pricing. That said, the right pick is the program whose support model and formulation match what you actually need.

Are Embody and Strut Health compounded or brand-name?

Embody offers compounded glp-1 with personalization. Strut Health offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, sublingual/oral and once-weekly injection. If you specifically want brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, lean toward whichever explicitly supports brand access; if compounded is fine, both can typically meet that need.

Can I switch from Embody to Strut Health?

Yes, switching between Embody and Strut Health is straightforward in most states. You typically finish your current month, complete a new intake with the other provider, and they handle the prescription. Watch for overlap on auto-renewal billing and confirm any dose-tier or formulation differences with the new clinician before your next shipment.

About compounded GLP-1 medicationsCompounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products. They are prepared by state-licensed 503A pharmacies or 503B outsourcing facilities and are not individually reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Compounders describe these preparations as using the same active ingredient as the approved medicines; the FDA has warned that some compounded products use salt forms, semaglutide sodium or semaglutide acetate, that it considers different active ingredients from the approved drug, and has issued warning letters over marketing that presents a compounded preparation as interchangeable with an approved one. The FDA declared the semaglutide shortage resolved on February 21, 2025 and the tirzepatide shortage resolved in December 2024, so the shortage-era pathway for broad compounding of these drugs has ended. Compounding now proceeds under the ordinary rules: a 503A pharmacy compounding for an individual patient on a prescription, or a 503B outsourcing facility, which compounds in bulk under CGMP and FDA registration rather than per patient. Those rules generally do not cover a product that is “essentially a copy” of an approved drug unless a prescriber documents a change that makes a significant difference for an individual patient. Talk to a clinician about contraindications including personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.
