EllieMD vs Strut Health
The verdict
Strut Health takes it — 79.4/100 to 55/100.
Strut Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. The same molecule as a lozenge or an injection at the same price — the one place here where the needle is genuinely optional.

- Free physician visit, free shipping and free follow-up care included
- Cancel, pause or delay yourself with 48 hours' notice

- Not available in Arkansas
