MaxLife sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat membership fee that covers the medication, supplies and overnight shipping. Price depends on plan length rather than dose: a three-month Starter Kit prepay buys a lower monthly rate for the first quarter, after which the standing monthly rate applies.

- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
