How MaxLife scores
Six columns, each one computed from something MaxLife has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
7.3/10$195/month is 27% below the register median of $267 for compounded tirzepatide.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
3.5/101 FDA warning letter on record; does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.
Support10%
7.0/10The price covers medication, consult, shipping.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with MaxLife involves
Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.
- 1MaxLife publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3MaxLife does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering medication, consult, shipping.
- Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $155, tirzepatide $195. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
- No state list is published, so whether MaxLife serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
- 1 FDA warning letter on record. The letter itself is linked in the enforcement section below — read what it alleges rather than the fact that it exists.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off MaxLife's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide at $155 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
Against it
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
- 1 FDA warning letter matched to this operator in our enforcement register — read what the letter alleges, since a letter discloses a problem rather than disqualifying a seller
- 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
What MaxLife charges
MaxLife charges $155/month.
- Compounded semaglutide — $155/month
- Compounded tirzepatide — $195/month
The median across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this lands mid-market — close enough that the deciding factor is unlikely to be price.
Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.
What MaxLife dispenses
MaxLife prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.
What we could verify
MaxLife publishes little that can be checked from outside an intake. FDA has sent this operator a warning letter, and we flag it at the top of the page. A letter is a disclosure, not a disqualification: read what it actually says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
- A regulatory record matters to you more than price does — read the warning letter flagged above before deciding.
Our read
MaxLife lands mid-market on price without a standout advantage or an obvious problem. It comes down to whether its particular package fits. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter flagged at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician you would be prescribing through.
The Bottom Line
MaxLife falls below our bar on medical oversight. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where MaxLife is the wrong choice
No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

Regulatory notice
MaxLife has an FDA warning letter on record, dated February 20, 2026
This letter concerns false & misleading claims/misbranded. A warning letter is public correspondence from FDA, not an adjudication. On its own it establishes no finding of illegal activity, and a company that gets one often answers with corrective action.
