About MaxLife
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.
Read our full MaxLife review →About Tuyo Health
155 dollars monthly is where compounded semaglutide begins, 279 dollars where compounded tirzepatide does, and those figures are all-inclusive: lab work at intervals, medical consultations at no charge, shipping inside the same week for free, and a protocol built for you. Going brand-name costs more, roughly 399 to 499 dollars a month for Wegovy or Zepbound, on top of a 99 dollar membership, and insurance can pull that down. Dr. German Echeverry founded Tuyo Health.

MaxLife
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $155 a month, 16% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare

Watch-outs

- The FDA has issued MaxLife a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- 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
