Visit Telos RxThe verdict for a first step
Telos Rx edges out Strut Health on the Mama-Match Score, 78 to 77 (C vs C). Listed with caveats — signup and cancellation are easy and the pricing is genuinely flat, but confirm your state and who oversees your care before enrolling.
Strut Health is still a genuine option — $149/mo injectable semaglutide, $99/mo oral lozenge, $325/mo tirzepatide ($199 on auto-refill) — with a February 2026 FDA warning letter you should read first. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
Strut Health
Rank #27 · Grade C
What we like
- A genuine oral/sublingual semaglutide option, plus injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Low headline pricing with auto-refill (from ~$99/mo on oral)
- Simple asynchronous questionnaire signup with cancel-anytime language
The caveats
- February 2026 FDA warning letter for implying FDA approval of compounded GLP-1s
- The cheap prices are auto-refill (recurring) rates; the standard tiers aren't fully published
- Tirzepatide is gated behind medical-necessity language
Mama-Match
Telos Rx
Rank #23 · Grade C
What we like
- Four price points posted up front, before any intake — genuinely transparent on the headline number
- Stated flat pricing — 'your monthly cost stays the same even as your dose goes up' — in writing on the pricing page and its own FAQ
- Oral/sublingual and microdose tirzepatide options for a gentler start
The caveats
- States served aren't published anywhere on the site
- No named pharmacy or medical director; self-stated Trustpilot rating is unverified
- Compounded only; sublingual delivery is far less studied than injections
