Visit Strut HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Strut Health on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 78 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Strut Health is still a genuine option — both molecules as a shot or a needle-free lozenge at low starting prices with clean cancel terms — but I'm only listing it with the February 2026 FDA warning letter attached, because that's the thing you need to weigh first. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no 'first month $99, then surprise' step-up in the fine print
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Strut Health
Ranked #16 · Grade C
What we like
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and needle-free oral lozenge formats
- Low 'starting at' prices, including a $99 oral semaglutide lozenge
- Cancel, pause, or delay anytime with 48 hours' notice — cleaner than most budget brands
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter for misbranded compounded GLP-1s and misleading website claims
- Prices are 'starting at' lowest-dose figures that rise as your dose increases
- Eligibility is marketed to patients who 'fail or cannot use' commercial GLP-1s
