Maximus GLP-1 Review
Men's performance and health platform offering GLP-1 alongside testosterone optimization and other protocols.
Maximus is the cheapest way to try GLP-1 therapy, the $79.99 microdose and $99.99 starter are unmatched, and the microdosing program for lower-BMI patients fills a gap nobody else serves. Full verdict ↓
Clinical evidence: 20.9% average body-weight reduction at 72 weeks in SURMOUNT-1 (NEJM, 2022). Individual results vary; compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved.
Summarize this article with
Maximus scores 7.1/10 in our independent review, starting at $150/mo for compounded GLP-1 medications. Maximus owns the lowest entry price in the market: $79.99/mo microdose semaglutide and a $99.
What makes it different: Only platform offering GLP-1 microdosing from $79.99/mo for BMI as low as 22, targeting the 'small weight loss' and metabolic health market.
At a glance
- Men interested in GLP-1 microdosing, patients with BMI 22-27 who don't qualify elsewhere, or anyone wanting the cheapest possible trial of GLP-1.
- Anyone wanting transparent all-in pricing, separate consultation fees, lab costs, and price increases after the intro period create unpredictable total costs.
Maximus Pros and Cons
What We Like
- +Lowest entry price in the market, $79.99/mo microdose semaglutide, $99.99/mo 3-month starter pack
- +GLP-1 microdosing available for BMI as low as 22, the only platform serving patients below standard obesity criteria
- +Nausea-reducing formula with added glycine and B12 to ease GLP-1 side effects
- +Free expedited shipping on all medication orders
What Could Be Better
- −The $99.99/mo rate is introductory: standard dosing is $299.99/mo, with consultations billed separately at $28-35 and labs at $199-349/yr, so budget on the standard rate, not the intro
- −Compounding pharmacy partners are not disclosed, a transparency gap for a healthcare platform
- −Bulk-plan prices rise as your dose escalates; ask for the full dose-price schedule up front so total cost isn't a surprise
