Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
Strut Health
The cheapest entry point on the board, and the only place selling the same molecule as a lozenge at the injection's price.
Why it's a deal
- Cheapest entry on the board at $99/mo for sublingual semaglutide
- Sublingual lozenges for both molecules at the same price as the injection
- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice
The fine print
- The $99 and $149 prices require auto-refill — a one-off order costs more
- Asynchronous by design, so in many states you never speak to the prescriber
- Compounded only, and not available in Arkansas
Care Clinics
Cheap on both molecules — $100 sema, $133 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 32 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route
