Medications

bioidentical estradiolprogesteroneestriolDHEAsildenafilminoxidil

Pros

✓The full price list is published openly, with no intake required to see it: progesterone capsules from $39/mo, estrogen tablets from $54/mo, estrogen body cream (with progesterone) from $89/mo, vaginal estrogen cream from $89/mo and the estrogen patch from $149/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Multiple delivery routes are offered - patch, body cream, vaginal cream, tablet and capsule - so treatment can be matched to preference rather than to whatever the company happens to stock
✓Winona owns its own 503A compounding pharmacies rather than outsourcing to a partner, which gives it direct control over formulation and consistency
✓Its pharmacy page explains the 503A/503B distinction correctly and states that 503A pharmacies are regulated by State Boards of Pharmacy, not the FDA - an accurate description that competitors routinely overstate
✓Roughly 8,000 Trustpilot reviews at 4.6, with 99% of negative reviews answered and a typical reply time under 24 hours
✓The rating advertised on site matches the rating on the public Trustpilot profile
✓The initial visit is free, so you can be assessed before paying for treatment
✓Editorial content carries numbered citations rather than unsourced assertions, and the site runs a public subreddit alongside a help centre and published phone number
✓HSA/FSA eligible, with a dedicated page explaining eligibility
✓Adjacent products are priced transparently too - DHEA from $27 per 3-month supply, sildenafil arousal cream at $79 per order, minoxidil hair serum at $150 per 3-month supply

Cons

✗Everything Winona dispenses is compounded in its own 503A pharmacies, which means it is not FDA-approved and has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality. The site explains 503A status clearly but does not foreground the 'not FDA-approved' consequence as plainly
✗Pharmaceutical products cannot be returned, per the terms - so once a prescription ships, you own it
✗The terms carry a mandatory arbitration clause on an individual basis with a class-action waiver, set out in capitals at the top of the document
✗Every headline price is a 'from' figure, so the actual monthly cost depends on the dose your clinician prescribes and is not knowable before the consultation
✗The hormone therapy explainer describes HRT as 'scientifically proven to be the safest, most effective treatment' for menopause symptoms. It is cited, but that is a strong framing for a therapy whose risk profile still depends heavily on age, time since menopause and personal history
✗Trustpilot notes Winona invites customers to review, which tends to lift scores relative to organic-only profiles, and that it may use AI-assisted replies
✗Systemic estrogen is not appropriate for everyone - women with a history of breast or endometrial cancer, unexplained vaginal bleeding, blood clots, stroke or liver disease should not start it without specialist input
✗Compounded hormone therapy in general lacks the long-term outcome data that exists for FDA-approved products, so the evidence cited for HRT as a class does not transfer automatically to these specific preparations

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Compounded injectable semaglutide from $149/month and compounded tirzepatide from $199/month on auto-refill, with a 30-day tirzepatide supply listed at $325 without it (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Explains what compounded medication actually is, and why it is not FDA-approved, instead of burying a disclaimer - the clearest patient-facing explanation of the distinction we found
✓Free online MD visit, free shipping and free follow-up care are all included in the price
✓Damaged or defective orders can be reported within two weeks, far more workable than the 24 to 48-hour windows most competitors impose
✓Publishes a support email, a street address and actual support hours rather than a contact form alone
✓Oral semaglutide is offered alongside injectables, plus sermorelin for those who want a non-GLP-1 option
✓Cancel anytime, and the pricing page states plainly that medical necessity is required rather than implying everyone qualifies
✓Separate men's and women's weight-loss pathways, and a broad catalogue covering hair, skin, sexual health and menopause

Cons

✗The refund policy was last modified on 21 September 2021, years before Strut added its GLP-1 line, so the document governing your money predates the product you are buying
✗No returns or refunds once medication leaves the pharmacy, and no refund for cancellations received after the pharmacy has processed the order
✗The tirzepatide page places 'Just $6.63' beside a '30 DAY SUPPLY $325' heading. The $6.63 figure is the daily rate for the $199 auto-refill price, not for the $325 supply shown next to it
✗'As low as' pricing is tied to committing to auto-refill, and the site does not show what a single non-recurring order costs for semaglutide
✗There is no independent review signal at all - no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file - so nothing external corroborates the service quality
✗GLP-1 sits inside a large catalogue spanning hair, skin and sexual health, so the weight-loss programme gets less dedicated clinical content than a specialist provider offers
✗Support runs weekdays 9am-5pm ET only, with no evening, weekend or phone coverage published
✗Compounded products carry the usual caveat that they have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality
