Strut Health Review: Personalized Compounding for Hair Regrowth
Strut Health operates in the space between mass-market telehealth (Hims, Keeps) and ultra-premium compounding (Happy Head). They're a physician-owned platform that specializes in custom formulations—particularly dutasteride, the "nuclear option" for DHT suppression.
Pricing Breakdown
- Topical Finasteride: ~$50-60/month
- Topical Dutasteride: ~$60-70/month
- Custom Blends: $70-90/month depending on formula
More expensive than Keeps, cheaper than Happy Head. Mid-tier pricing for specialized formulations.
Who Should Choose Strut
Ideal Candidates:
- Finasteride non-responders after 12-18 months of consistent use
- Men with aggressive hair loss (Norwood 5-6) needing maximum DHT suppression
- Those seeking dutasteride who can't find local providers
- Users interested in topical dutasteride to minimize systemic exposure
Skip Strut If:
- You haven't tried finasteride yet (start with the gold standard first)
- You're responding well to standard treatments
- You're risk-averse about using off-label medications
Strut vs. Happy Head
Both offer custom compounding. Happy Head focuses on high-concentration minoxidil with absorption enhancers. Strut focuses on dutasteride formulations. Choose Happy Head if you want stronger growth stimulus. Choose Strut if you want stronger DHT suppression.

Get Started with StrutThe Bottom Line
Strut Health is for men who've already tried the basics and need to escalate. If finasteride delivered results, stick with it—don't fix what isn't broken. But if you're 18 months in with minimal improvement, dutasteride's 95% DHT suppression offers a scientifically sound next step.
This isn't a first-line treatment. It's the second line—for men who need more firepower.
