Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Eden
Eden sells compounded semaglutide for $99 a month and tirzepatide for $129, all-inclusive and the same at every dose, filled by its own pharmacy or vetted partners.
Why it's a deal
- Names its medical team rather than referring to anonymous providers - Dr. Halland Chen, Dr. Rebecca Emch, Dr. Matthew Bennett and Dr. William Lee are listed with their affiliations
- Available in all 50 states, with both molecules and no teaser tier - the rate does not step up as you titrate
- States plainly on its own site that compounded medication is not approved by the FDA and has not been reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality
- Free expedited shipping on all orders, 24/7 provider messaging, no insurance required and HSA/FSA eligible
The fine print
- Eden's same-price-at-every-dose promise excludes new-member discounts and some plans, so confirm the monthly figure on your checkout screen before you pay
- Eden's custom weight-loss kits are a different product that needs a separate membership ($39 the first month, then $99 a month); the GLP-1 plans do not carry that fee
- FDA issued a warning letter to Eden Health International Inc. dba Eden, dated June 2026. It is public in the FDA warning-letter database and linked from this review so you can read it yourself
- Eden is compounded only - no brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound
- Eden fills prescriptions through its own Eden Pharmacy or unnamed partner pharmacies, so you may not know in advance which one ships your order
Strut Health
Semaglutide at $129 a month and tirzepatide at $149 on auto-refill, plus needle-free semaglutide lozenges and tirzepatide tablets for anyone who would rather not inject.
What's good
- Low auto-refill prices at Strut: $129 a month for injectable semaglutide and $149 for injectable tirzepatide
- Needle-free routes on both molecules: a semaglutide lozenge, listed as low as $99 a month on auto-refill, and oral tirzepatide at $199
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice
The fine print
- The FDA issued Strut Health a warning letter in February 2026 — it is on the public FDA warning-letter database
- Strut's prices require auto-refill; a one-off order costs 14% to 21% more
- Strut Health is asynchronous by design, so in many states you never speak to the prescriber
- Strut Health is compounded only, and does not ship to Arkansas
