Strut Health Reviews

As we’ve covered developments in the telehealth space over the last several years, we’ve noticed a trend in which companies’ services expand and contract, offering new treatments and products only to later remove them from their catalogs. It often seems to us as though they’re testing the waters to see what’s practical and profitable.

A handful of treatment categories have stood the test of time in telehealth, including sexual wellness, weight loss, skin care, at-home testing, and allergy treatment. It’s no coincidence, then, that these make up the core offerings from Strut Health.

But if Strut has many of the same types of products and services other telehealth companies offer, how does it compare? Our team of experts sought answers, receiving prescriptions and trying products for ourselves to discover how Strut stacks up against its competitors.

For a few common issues, Strut offers outstanding treatments at very low prices. It’s ideal for men seeking prescription pills for testosterone therapy or oral finasteride for hair loss, men and women seeking certain topical hair loss treatments, and people interested in cutting-edge oral weight loss medications. For every other product category, including female sexual wellness, skin care, and herpes management, Strut doesn’t compete effectively with similar companies offering the same products for less. If you fall into a category where the company excels, you’ll do well. If not, you should look elsewhere.

At Innerbody Research, we thoroughly investigate each and every product or health service we review, including Strut Health. That typically involves a deep dive into available pertinent research, numerous hours interacting with companies, and, ultimately, personal experience with goods and services.

In Strut’s case, we’ve spent more than 1,000 hours studying the various ailments the company aims to treat, as well as the drugs and other therapies designed to treat them. Our efforts comprised more than 300 scholarly articles and dozens of conversations with dermatologists, urologists, and endocrinologists. We also signed up with Strut, took their health tests, and received prescription treatments to try ourselves.

Additionally, like all health-related content on this website, this guide was thoroughly vetted by one or more members of our Medical Review Board for accuracy and will continue to be monitored for updates by our editorial team.

Over the past two decades, Innerbody Research has helped tens of millions of readers make more informed decisions about staying healthy and living healthier lifestyles.

When we set out to evaluate Strut Health, we settled on four key criteria to compare it directly with top competitors like Hims and Roman: product lineup, safety, cost, and convenience.

Let’s take a close look at how Strut stacked up:

Product lineup

Strut has an admirable product lineup. It offers a few treatments in novel formats, as well as one drug for testosterone therapy that may be superior to its more commonly prescribed alternative. However, while Strut can claim a relatively wide assortment of treatment areas, the lineups available in each are a bit limited in scope.

Here’s a comparison of Strut’s treatment options with its top two competitors in each of its major categories:

As you can see, skin and nail products, health testing, and allergy treatments are the only areas where Strut has an edge over Hims and Roman. However, Hims’ skin care treatments are more customizable and are a slightly better deal. And if you compare Strut’s test catalog to a dedicated testing company’s (e.g., LetsGetChecked, Everlywell, or myLAB Box), you’ll see it’s much smaller and, in some cases, a bit pricier.

Safety

Across Strut’s catalog, the treatments and ingredients have admirable safety profiles. There are certainly risks associated with various products, like the sexual side effects associated with oral finasteride for hair loss and cardiovascular risks from PDE5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction (ED),1 2 but these drugs remain among the most widely prescribed and thoroughly understood drugs for their respective intentions. Also, they’re only available with a prescription, and you’ll be asked about your heart health and other potential issues during your intake.

In some instances, when the company could have chosen to offer one drug over another, Strut goes with the safer option. The best example of this is the enclomiphene citrate that Strut offers for male hypogonadism (low testosterone). Other telehealth companies usually prescribe another drug, clomiphene citrate, which includes both enclomiphene and zuclomiphene, the latter of which is directly linked to adverse estrogenic effects.5 6 Enclomiphene doesn't contain any zuclomiphene.

Enclomiphene citrate is also an oral medication, which is safer than injectable testosterone cypionate and transdermal testosterone creams, gels, or patches.3 4 All told, Strut's decision to offer enclomiphene instead of the more common alternatives speaks to the company's interest in safety.

Cost

Cost is the area in which Strut suffers the most, even though certain offerings are less expensive compared to the competition. Some of its prices have come down since we started covering the company, including its price for semaglutide lozenges (an oral version of Ozempic’s active ingredient), but its competitors have it beat at almost every stop along the way. The few areas in which Strut’s prices truly compete include:

• Sildenafil for ED
• GLP-1 weight loss medication
• Testosterone therapy
• Oral finasteride for hair loss
• Some hair loss topicals

For example, Strut has a dutasteride-based hair loss topical in a gel or serum for $69/month, whereas competitor Happy Head offers a similar formula for $89/month. Strut’s $79 monthly cost for enclomiphene citrate is another good deal compared to the $99/month charge from competitor Maximus Tribe.

Strut’s oral finasteride is available for an extremely low price as part of a quarterly subscription. At $49/quarter, the cost per dose comes down to $0.54. Competitors Roman and Hims charge nearly twice that much at their lowest costs. Sildenafil is the star here, though, as Strut offers a 25mg dose for as little as $1.60. That’s nearly $2 less per dose than the same drug from Hims, and it’s $2.40 less than the same thing from Roman.

Unfortunately, there’s another side to the coin. For example, a testosterone test from Everlywell costs $69 compared to Strut’s $79, while BlueChew and Hims offer greater variety in routes of delivery (like chewables) and lower prices across the board for the ED drug tadalafil.

Convenience

In our testing, we found most aspects of our interaction with Strut to rate highly for convenience. You can choose between gel and serum options for most hair loss topicals, and shipments arrived quickly. Communications with physicians and customer service are also relatively fast, though it took some prodding to get service reps to divulge complete pricing info on a few products.

The communication and clarity issues with HealthCheck, the testing company Strut employs to provide its at-home tests and test results, are well-documented in various customer complaints, and we certainly ran into a few minor glitches along the way. It’s not a huge knock against Strut, especially if you don’t need to test anything through it, but it’s definitely worth noting.

Compared to competitors like Roman and Hims, gaps in Strut’s catalog could certainly be considered inconvenient, particularly if you start out along one treatment path with limited success or minor side effects. In that case, you might want to switch to a similar treatment in the same space (like an ED alternative to sildenafil or tadalafil). But if Strut doesn’t have it, you have to start the process over again somewhere else.

Strut Health is a telehealth company offering prescription and non-prescription products and services for men and women. The company focuses on the following:

• Sexual health and wellness
• Testosterone support
• Hair loss
• Weight loss
• Skin care
• Health testing
• Allergy relief

Strut partners with compounding pharmacies to produce the majority of its products. The pharmacies can create custom combinations of various active ingredients that Strut physicians may determine to be appropriate for your needs.

How does Strut Health work?

When you get started with Strut, you may already know what you want from the company. For example, you could be looking for access to treatments for ED or prescription skin creams, in which case you would navigate to and select a related product, complete a medical questionnaire, and potentially submit images for a Strut-related physician to review.

If your intake proves that you’re a good candidate for treatment, your consulting physician may put through the prescription you initially requested or recommend a similar product from the company’s lineup. Either way, they’ll be in contact with you through the site’s user portal.

Some of Strut’s products require testing before you can access them. For example, the company’s prescription enclomiphene for low testosterone requires that you purchase a testosterone test and submit a sample. You could also submit outside test results if they’re recent enough. If the results of the test indicate hypogonadism, you may qualify to receive enclomiphene.

For any of Strut’s non-prescription products — things like the dermaroller, WoundVite, StrutVite, and at-home health tests — you can simply buy them as you see fit. One of these (WoundVite) is available via Amazon as well.

Strut Health reputation

Strut Health’s online reputation is decidedly average. The company’s profile with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) holds a C- rating and isn’t BBB-accredited. The data here is severely limited, with no customer reviews on the page and only two complaints lodged in the last three years. Both complaints revolve around issues with pricing clarity that can lead to unexpected increases in cost.

There are a lot more customer reviews on Trustpilot, where over 700 people have rated the company to date. The ratings average to a 3.2-star score out of five. The complaints here are similar to those on the BBB page, but they also include several mentions of order-fulfillment issues specifically related to test kits.

Having ordered the test kits ourselves, we know the testing service is fulfilled by an outside company called HealthCheck. We didn’t have fulfillment issues, but we did experience some problems with communication and the HealthCheck website. Hopefully, Strut can exert pressure on HealthCheck to improve, or it can find a more reliable testing partner in the future.

Strut’s catalog is extensive. It includes treatments for various conditions, most of which are available by prescription only. Some of these are intended for use by men, others by women, and some by both.

Strut Health sexual wellness products

Central to Strut’s product lineup are its sexual wellness products. For men, these include treatments for ED and premature ejaculation (PE), as well as a prescription testosterone booster (Strut Mojo). For women, the sole product is a prescription topical arousal cream. Individuals of both sexes can make use of Strut’s valacyclovir prescription if they’re dealing with genital herpes infections.

Strut Health hair loss treatments

Strut offers various hair loss treatments suitable for both men and women, as well as one or two that most dermatologists would only prescribe to men. The most promising among them is oral minoxidil, the topical version most people would recognize by its brand name, Rogaine. Let’s take a closer look at each of Strut’s hair loss offerings:

Strut skin and nail treatments

Strut offers a handful of products intended to improve your skin and nails:

• Tretinoin Cream: prescription skin cream for acne, fine lines, and rough spots
• Rosacea Formula: custom cream containing azelaic acid, oxymetazoline, metronidazole, or ivermectin
• Anti-Aging Formula: tretinoin, niacinamide, and more to soothe and increase cell turnover
• Brightly Formula: vitamin C–based cream designed to prevent deep wrinkles
• Melasma Formula: hydroquinone, kojic acid, other ingredients intended to lighten dark patches of skin
• Acne Formula: topical antibiotic intended to treat acne
• Acne Scar Formula: tretinoin in a silicone gel to reduce acne scarring
• Scar Formula: triamcinolone, levocetirizine, and vitamin C combined to reduce the appearance of scars
• Nail Formula: a combination of ketoconazole, terbinafine, hydrocortisone, biotin, and antibiotics applied directly to the nail
• WoundVite: nutritional supplement to increase wound healing
• StrutVite: nutritional supplement for hair, skin, and nail health

Several of Strut’s skin care treatments share ingredients, including tretinoin, silicone gel, niacinamide, and clindamycin. Let’s look at how some of these ingredients might work for their intended purposes:

Strut offers a pair of nutritional supplements, as well. One of these, StrutVite, is designed to bolster skin, nail, and hair health, and the other, WoundVite, is intended to accelerate wound healing.

Here’s a quick look at the ingredient bills for both:

StrutVite ingredients:

There’s ample crossover among the supplemental ingredients that research connects with healthy hair, skin, and nails, so it’s not too surprising to see them combined in a single product. But StrutVite is little more than a decent multivitamin, and some of its ingredients that aren’t often found in multivitamins either lack sufficient scientific evidence to support their inclusion or are present at doses too low to be effective.

For example, while biotin gets a lot of attention for its purported ability to improve hair health and growth, the science appears to refute the notion.35 And while ashwagandha has been shown to reduce stress in ways that may contribute to healthier hair, it often does so at doses around 3-6 times what’s present in StrutVite.36

WoundVite ingredients:

WoundVite largely falls into the same traps as StrutVite, with ingredients that can be found in most multivitamins at similar doses and a few additional components that either lack evidence or appear in doses too small to promote wound healing.37 In some cases, WoundVite’s listing lacks dose information altogether, as is the case with its chlorella, calendula, grape seed extract, and turmeric content.

Strut health testing

We’ve spent the better part of a decade researching and reviewing various at-home tests and testing companies. Many of those companies offer a wide assortment of tests covering everything from sexual health to food intolerance. Strut’s catalog of tests is a little more targeted, with most being at least tangentially related to the company’s other products.

Here’s a quick breakdown of tests available through Strut:

Strut currently uses a company called HealthCheck to distribute and perform its health tests. HealthCheck has been at the heart of many negative comments on Strut’s Trustpilot and BBB pages. In our testing experience, we didn’t encounter the kinds of billing and service issues that other customers did, but we did note a significant issue with communication.

When we sent our sample off to the lab, we had a tracking number from FedEx, which showed the package arrived at the lab a few days later. But our dashboard on the HealthCheck website only ever listed the sample as “waiting to be received” until the day the results came in (about ten days later).

Ultimately, none of this impacted the test’s accuracy or even the timely delivery of results. But it was frustrating and corroborated customers’ negative comments. There are other third-party testing companies that contract with telehealth companies and provide better service, at least in our experience. Hopefully, Strut will consider a change in the future.

Strut weight loss program

Strut’s weight loss offerings consist of three prescription products and one nutritional supplement. Among the prescriptions, the one most likely to be effective is semaglutide.

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, medications that are only available via subcutaneous delivery from an autoinjector pen (like an EpiPen). While these drugs live in the zeitgeist as weight loss medications, their original purpose was to treat diabetes. An oral version of semaglutide for diabetes, Rybelsus, has been on the market for some time, and it shows promise as a weight loss medication.

You can also get an injectable version of semaglutide from Strut, but there’s no autoinjector involved. It comes as a vial full of liquid medication with a bag of single-use syringes you use to inject yourself weekly.

In addition to Strut’s semaglutide, the company’s weight loss offerings include:

• Zero Crave Rx: a combination of bupropion, naltrexone, and B12
• Fat Burner Booster: a combination of methionine, inositol, B12, and L-carnitine
• PeptideVite: an accompaniment to semaglutide that uses a multivitamin and proprietary GI blend to stave off nausea and boost energy.

The ingredients in these products are compelling for weight loss, though none offer the level of efficacy you can expect from semaglutide. For example, a major semaglutide study saw participants lose an average 15.8% body weight after 68 weeks38 — 39.6lb for a 250 lb individual, for a final weight of 210.5lb — while bupropion, an antidepressant medication also used for weight loss, saw a mere 5% body weight reduction after 24 weeks when combined with a restricted-calorie diet.39 And B12 has only been associated with body weight, not shown to reduce it via exogenous administration.40

Strut allergy treatment

Strut’s allergy treatment is a strange one. Hims used to offer allergy medication access through a short-lived primary care platform that has since shuttered, and those medications were pretty standard allergy pills. Strut’s approach is quite different, with a topical roll-on allergy medication as its lone treatment offering.

You can get a roll-on specifically for perennial allergies like dust and mold, for seasonal allergies like pollen, or a combination product for perennial and seasonal allergies. The treatment actually contains the allergens in question and is designed to retrain your immune system to tolerate a higher threshold of their presence before triggering a reaction.41

Strut is intended for men and women seeking treatment for various conditions, including ED, FSD, hair loss, and seasonal allergies. Given the breadth of the company’s catalog and how it compares to competitors in both product availability and price, Strut’s true reach is a little more limited.

Ultimately, Strut is only a good resource for the following people:

• Men seeking a low price for prescription sildenafil
• Men seeking oral testosterone therapy
• Anyone interested in oral semaglutide for weight loss
• Men and women seeking topical hair loss treatment alternatives to minoxidil on its own
• Anyone seeking certain skin care treatments, specifically for acne or scars

Who might want to look elsewhere?

If you find yourself curious about any of Strut’s other offerings, you might want to start elsewhere, as you're liable to find lower prices and a greater variety of treatments from competitors like Hims, Roman, and others.

You also might want to consider alternatives if you have decent insurance. Strut’s telehealth system is better suited to the uninsured or people whose insurance is insufficient to cover the treatments they want or need.

The majority of Strut’s products are going to be safe for most people whose intake questionnaires and physician conversations qualify them for a prescription. There are certain conditions for which an individual may be denied a prescription for a certain product, which is a measure intended to preserve a high level of safety.

That said, there are also side effects for many of Strut’s medications that can’t be anticipated on an individual basis; you have to try them for yourself to find out. For example, oral finasteride for hair loss has about a 2-3% chance of inducing sexual side effects in men, including fertility issues, low libido, and even ED. Some of the side effects have been known to last after you stop taking the medication. But you can’t know whether you fall into that 2-3% without trying it.1

Other risk factors among Strut’s various offerings include:

• Oral minoxidil for hair loss: cardiovascular complications like drops in blood pressure, plus unwanted hair growth on the face or body42
• Topical hair loss treatments: scalp irritation, increased hair loss43
• PDE5 inhibitors for ED: cardiovascular issues, muscle pain, vision disturbances2
• Sertraline for premature ejaculation: diarrhea, GI upset, headache, fatigue44
• Retinoid-based skin creams: redness, burning, itching, scaling45
• Semaglutide for weight loss: nausea, vomiting, pancreatitis46

You and your consulting physician will have to weigh the potential for these side effects and any possible contraindications to other issues or medications before moving forward with treatment.

In most cases, Strut’s pricing is pretty straightforward. Like Hims and Roman, there are often two subscription-based tiers for purchases: monthly and quarterly. Quarterly pricing results in a lower overall cost.

Let’s go through Strut’s major product offerings with an eye toward price:

Sexual health products

Strut’s ED medications include sildenafil (generic Viagra) and tadalafil (generic Cialis). Frankly, the tadalafil price can’t compete with the likes of Hims, but Strut’s sildenafil price is remarkably low compared to Hims, Roman, and just about every other sildenafil purveyor. Here’s how it works out based on monthly and quarterly subscription options:

You can also get a prescription for daily tadalafil at the 5mg dose that costs either $90/month or $216/quarter.

For PE, Strut offers sertraline, the generic form of the SSRI Zoloft. Despite being intended to treat depression, sertraline has long been used as an off-label treatment for PE.10

Sertraline is a daily medication. Strut sells it as a monthly subscription for $30/month or a quarterly subscription for $75/quarter. Roman’s monthly sertraline plan is cheaper at $24/month.

For women, Strut offers a prescription arousal cream containing sildenafil and other ingredients in a 12ml bottle for $49. This is both more expensive and less voluminous than the 15ml OMG cream from Wisp that costs just $39.

For anyone dealing with cold sores or herpes, Strut offers valacyclovir (generic Valtrex), but only in 500mg increments at prices that others easily beat.

By comparison, you can get the same dose from Roman on an episodic schedule for $42/quarter or on a suppressive schedule for $87/quarter.

Strut Mojo (enclomiphene with or without tadalafil)

Strut’s prescription enclomiphene citrate for low testosterone is well-priced at $79/month or $189/quarter. That’s for the 6.25mg dose, however. Prices increase at 12.5mg and 25mg, doses that we’ve seen in research more often than 6.25mg.

You’ll also have to pay an additional $79 for an initial testosterone test. You won’t be charged for medication if your results come back indicating normal testosterone levels.

You can combine Strut’s enclomiphene citrate with daily tadalafil to tackle both low testosterone and ED simultaneously, and the addition doesn’t affect the price. Here’s how the doses and combinations are priced:

If you’re dealing with ED that may be a by-product of low testosterone, the combination treatment is a great way to tackle both problems with a single pill. It would allow you to regain erectile performance immediately and normalize testosterone levels over time.

Hair loss treatments

Strut offers both oral and topical treatments for hair loss, some of which are available at relatively competitive prices. There are also bundles that combine treatments and bring costs down even further. Some treatments are available monthly, others quarterly, and a few give you the choice.

Here’s a quick breakdown of pricing:

There are also two products available as individual purchases:

• Ketoconazole 2% shampoo: $25/bottle
• Dermaroller: $12

Some of the prices are outstanding, such as the $49 quarterly cost for oral finasteride, which is nearly half the amount you’d pay through Hims or Roman. Topical dutasteride is also here at a great price: just $69/month, or $20 less than the $89/month through competitor Happy Head.

Weight loss

The costs of Strut’s weight loss products are on par with the least expensive competitors in the field. There are some caveats when you compare how costs might change at different dose levels, however.

Here’s a quick look at how Strut’s semaglutide offering compares with two prominent competitors:

It would be rare if Strut’s dose of injectable semaglutide proves too weak for anyone, as it’s been shown to be effective in study after study. It's the novel, non-injectable forms that are at issue because there's no dose-informed research into any GLP-1 receptor agonist like semaglutide being delivered as drops, dissolving tablets, or lozenges

Rybelsus, the oral form of semaglutide that’s prescribed for diabetes, comes in 7mg tablets,47 which have to pass through your digestive system before entering your bloodstream. Other oral forms, like lozenges, enter the bloodstream through oral membranes, meaning it should take less of the drug to be effective since less is lost through metabolism. But without dedicated research, the 1mg standard dose that Strut and its competitors offer seems more like a shot in the dark than sound science. And if you need a higher dose, Strut and Henry will charge you more for it.

Strut’s other weight loss offerings are priced thusly:

• Zero Crave Rx: $149/month
• Fat Burner Booster: $59/month
• PeptideVite: $47/month

By comparison, Hims offers more in-depth customization of oral weight loss medication that can include the bupropion, naltrexone, and B12 found in Strut’s Zero Crave Rx, but it does so for just $79/month.

Skin care and nail treatments

Strut’s skin care creams live in a price range running from $49 to $70. Its two skin care supplements cost $25 and $40, and a single bundle is available that allows you to save on two specific creams.

Here’s how the pricing works out:

• Tretinoin Cream: $70
• Rosacea Formula: $59
• Anti-Aging Formula: $49
• Brightly Formula: $49
• Melasma Formula: $69
• Acne Formula: $49
• Acne Scar Formula: $49
• Scar Formula: $49
• Brightly and Anti-Aging bundle: $89
• WoundVite: $40
• StrutVite: $25

These prices are about on par with what you’ll see from competitors, but the lineup is somewhat more extensive.

Strut also offers a strengthening and anti-fungal nail treatment for $59, which you won’t see from its close competitors. You can bundle that nail formula with the company’s hair, skin, and nail supplement, StrutVite, for $79.

Health testing

Strut offers five health tests at this time, all of which are serviced through third-party testing company HealthCheck. Here’s a quick breakdown of costs:

• Men’s and women’s health panels: $179
• Men’s and women’s sexual health panels (standard): $119
• Men’s and women’s sexual health panels (comprehensive): $159
• Respiratory panel: $159
• Men’s testosterone panel: $79

That’s far fewer tests than you’ll see from competitors like Everlywell or LetsGetChecked. Some of Strut’s prices here are favorable, while others fall short. For example, $159 for a six-panel STD test isn't’ bad compared to $169 for the same test from Everlywell or for a five-panel version from myLAB Box.

The men’s and women’s health panels seem like good deals, too, until you look under the hood and see that four biomarkers for $179 pales in comparison to the 11 biomarkers in Everlywell’s $249 health tests. But it’s a lot better than $199 for the same test from myLAB Box.

Allergy treatment

Strut’s allergy treatment takes a relatively unusual approach. There are no familiar pills or even injections like the sort involved with some of the more intense allergy treatments. Instead, the company employs a roll-on treatment that might induce a little sticker shock at first.

Strut’s roll-on allergy treatment can be fine-tuned to cover seasonal allergies (e.g., pollen), perennial allergies (e.g., pet dander), or both for the following prices.

• Seasonal OR perennial allergies: $99/month
• Seasonal AND perennial allergies: $198/month

This specific type of transdermal allergy treatment is available through only a few telemedicine providers, and they all appear to use the same pricing structure.

Strut’s return policy is straightforward, but it lacks certain nuanced information at the same time. As stated on the site, the company doesn’t accept returns on any prescription products. But there’s nothing written there about non-prescription products like supplements or the dermaroller for hair loss.

On the privacy side, Strut spells out various aspects of its policy, including what information it collects and how it may share it. Missing from this policy page is any information about how long the company keeps your information. It says only this: “When we, in our sole discretion, believe we no longer have a purpose to retain your personal information, we will securely destroy your personal information in accordance with applicable law.”

Similar sites — Roman, for example — make a point of aligning their policies with certain state or national health information policies, like HIPAA or Washington State’s My Health, My Data Act (MHMDA). Strut doesn’t appear to align with any of these policies. This isn’t a reason to believe your information is at risk, but it may be a reason to go with a competitor if prices and products are similar enough.

Alternatives to Strut Health exist for every medication category in the company’s catalog. In many cases, there are alternatives that offer superior products, more products, better prices, or some combination thereof.

Because Strut is a telehealth company with multiple treatment lanes, it helps to compare the company to similar brands. But it’s also informative to see how some of its offerings stack up against specialty companies.

Other telehealth behemoths

Two of the biggest names in telehealth make for the most direct comparisons to Strut: Roman and Hims & Hers. The Hims side of Hims & Hers has its own website separate from the Hers side, and there are more catalog crossovers between Strut and Hims than there are between Strut and Hers, but Strut’s offerings for women necessitate Hers’ inclusion here.

Ultimately, each of these companies has some prices that the others can’t touch. Roman has everyone beat for oral minoxidil, Hims for oral tadalafil, and Strut for oral finasteride. Based on our years of experience, we can recommend the following companies for certain categories:

• Daily ED medications: Hims
• As-needed ED medications: Hims
• Topical hair loss treatments: Hims
• Oral finasteride for hair loss: Strut
• Oral minoxidil for hair loss: Roman
• Custom skin care creams: Hims

At this time, we don’t recommend Hims or Roman for certain categories, like weight loss drugs, allergy treatment, health testing, or nail care. For these, we point our readers toward more niche services, which we’ll discuss next.

Niche telehealth companies

The niche companies we could compare to Strut include dedicated at-home testing companies, others focused solely on hair loss, and brands that focus exclusively on weight loss medications. Strut has products that compete with all of them, but it rarely offers better prices or products.

Here’s a quick look at some top competitors in these spaces:
