Maximus Reviews: Testosterone From $99.99 and Sermorelin, Priced in Full

The short version

Maximus is a men's performance-medicine company whose core product is testosterone, in four forms, with an unusual focus on keeping your own production and fertility intact. It also sells sermorelin. It prints a full price ladder on every protocol page: testosterone injections, cream or enclomiphene are $199.99 a month month to month, $149.99 on a 3-month plan and $99.99 on a 6- or 12-month plan, with doctor visits, medication and shipping included, and its help center says every partner pharmacy is a licensed 503A compounder. The costs to plan around are the required lab tests, billed on top, and the commitment plans, which cannot be ended early. FDA sent the company a warning letter in June 2026 about its compounded weight-loss marketing. It grades A, 12 points out of 14.

What Maximus is

Maximus Health, Inc. is a Los Angeles company founded in 2020 and led by its CEO, Dr. Cameron Sepah, a clinical psychologist and former UCSF faculty member⁶. Its terms say Maximus itself does not provide medical care: affiliated medical practices, the "Maximus Medical Group Practices," supply the licensed physicians who prescribe through its platform⁵. It lists a medical advisory team that includes urology faculty from UNC, Tulane and Cedars-Sinai.

What it sells for longevity and hormones¹³:

• •Injectable testosterone — weekly or twice-weekly, in an MCT-oil base; on its own it suppresses fertility, which a doctor can offset by adding HCG
• •Testosterone cream — daily; pitched as fertility-preserving when paired with enclomiphene
• •Oral testosterone — daily capsules
• •Enclomiphene — a daily pill that prompts your own body to make more testosterone
• •Sermorelin and tesamorelin — growth-hormone-releasing peptides, as daily injections

The oral-plus-enclomiphene and cream-plus-enclomiphene pairings are, in its words, "patented, proprietary Maximus combinations." It also sells GLP-1 weight loss, an oxytocin cream for sleep and stress, hair-loss treatment and erectile dysfunction pills.

What it actually costs

The ladder is printed, not hidden. Each protocol page shows the month-to-month rate next to the discounted plan rates². Injections, cream and enclomiphene follow the same ladder: $199.99, $149.99 and $99.99. Oral testosterone runs $249.99, $199.99 and $149.99. Sermorelin is $299.99 month to month, $274.99 on a 2-month plan and $199.99 on a 6-month plan³. New clients on the longest plan get half off the first month, so the "$49.99" you may see is a one-month figure.

What the price includes. Its testosterone FAQ says every protocol includes "doctor consultations, ongoing monitoring, and 24/7 messaging with your care team at no additional cost," and shipping is free.

What it does not include: labs. Testosterone treatment requires bloodwork before you start and at one month, three months and every year after. Maximus's at-home kit is $99 each time, a Quest draw costs $19.99 to $115 depending on the panel, and recent labs from your own doctor (within six months, with the right markers) are free to upload⁴. Its help center is plain that follow-up labs are not part of the subscription and that, if you use the at-home kit, you are charged automatically at each interval. Budget about $400 in lab kits in your first year if you use them every time.

What a year looks like. On injections or cream, the 6-month plan works out to about $1,200 a year in medication and care, plus labs; month to month, it is about $2,400. Sermorelin on the 6-month plan is about $2,400 a year; month to month, about $3,600.

Why it does not get the full price score. The same pages carry the line "Pricing varies by dosage and plan length. May vary slightly by state."² The sermorelin page adds that the dosage is "shown at checkout." Its savings-plan terms also say monthly charges can go "higher or lower" if your prescribed care changes during the commitment⁵. In practice the ladder is the figure to expect, but Maximus reserves the right to charge you something different for your dose and state.

How getting started works

1. 1.Answer a health questionnaire and pick a protocol.
2. 2.Do your labs. Order the $99 at-home kit — a small device that collects blood from your upper arm — or upload recent bloodwork or visit Quest.
3. 3.A physician reviews your results and finalizes the prescription; you can message your care team through the platform.
4. 4.Your medication ships from a partner pharmacy, and your doctor adjusts the dose as follow-up labs come in.

Sermorelin comes as a pre-filled liquid vial with small-gauge needles, so there is nothing to mix. Maximus says one 20 mg vial is a 28-day supply at its standard dose of 1 mg five days a week, with lower doses in California³.

Where the medication comes from

Maximus's help center states: "All Maximus partner pharmacies are licensed 503A compounders with appropriate state accreditation."⁷ It does not name the pharmacies. It says the pharmacy filling your prescription depends on your state, the medication and partner availability, and "may change over time." If that matters to you, ask for the dispensing pharmacy's name before your first shipment.

Its own pages add the standard caution: "Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy, or quality."

Billing, cancellation and refunds

This is the section to read twice before choosing a plan.

• •Committed plans cannot be ended early. Its refund policy says 3-, 6- and 12-month plans "continue through the end of the committed term" and "are not eligible for early termination or a partial refund"⁸. Its terms add that if you cancel mid-term you remain responsible for the remaining monthly payments, with an exception if a healthcare provider documents a health reason you cannot continue⁵.
• •Maximus itself suggests starting month to month. Its policy recommends a month-to-month plan while you complete bloodwork and see how you respond, "before committing to a multi-month plan, which cannot be ended early." That is good advice, and it means the $99.99 figure is a price for people already sure the protocol suits them.
• •Plans renew automatically at the end of the term for the same length, at the then-current rate. The terms promise notice at least 30 days before renewal.
• •Prescription sales are final. Once medication ships it cannot be returned or refunded. Consultation and lab fees are non-refundable.
• •Damaged or wrong orders must be reported within three days of delivery; Maximus ships a replacement at no cost.
• •Month-to-month plans end at the close of the current month when you turn off auto-renewal.

The FDA warning letter

On June 8, 2026, FDA issued a warning letter to Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus (MARCS-CMS 730095). That is the entity name as the letter's recipient block writes it, and it is how you find the letter yourself: search that name in the [FDA's warning-letter database](https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/compliance-actions-and-activities/warning-letters)⁹. The letter concerns the company's compounded weight-loss products, not the testosterone or sermorelin protocols this review covers. We report that it exists, who it was addressed to and when; FDA's own copy says what it alleges.

What testosterone and sermorelin can and cannot do

For men with genuinely low testosterone and symptoms, treatment is well established. For men with normal levels who want an edge, the picture is thinner, and the risks need monitoring: Maximus lists raised hematocrit, hemoglobin and PSA among the side effects, which is why its lab schedule matters. Enclomiphene raises testosterone while preserving sperm production, but it is not FDA-approved and is compounded. Sermorelin prompts the pituitary to release growth hormone; raising growth hormone has not been shown to change muscle or fat in healthy older adults. See peptides for longevity, sermorelin for longevity and do NAD+ and peptides work?.

Who it suits, and who should skip it

It suits you if you are a man who wants testosterone or sermorelin with the full price ladder in view before you start, you care about keeping natural production or fertility, and you are comfortable with a lab schedule. It states a 503A pharmacy standard, which Male Excel, Hone Health and Peter MD do not.

Skip it, or go in carefully, if you are not yet sure a protocol suits you — start month to month, as Maximus itself advises — or you want lab costs included in one monthly figure. Women looking for hormone therapy will find little here beyond weight loss and the oxytocin cream.

How it compares

Among testosterone providers on our provider rankings, Maximus has the lowest committed-plan price for injections in the table and states a pharmacy standard the others do not. Male Excel charges a monthly membership on top of medication, and Hone Health bills medication separately from its membership. Peter MD publishes a single TRT price. See our Male Excel review, Hone Health review and Peter MD review.

The verdict, against the rubric

Our grading method scores five things out of 14: price transparency (4), a real longevity line (4), clinical oversight (2), pharmacy disclosure (2) and human support (2).

• •Price transparency: 2 of 4. A full price ladder is published before you sign up, but the same pages say pricing varies by dosage and may vary by state, so it takes the middle score.
• •Longevity line: 4 of 4. Testosterone in four forms, growth-hormone peptides and lab monitoring are core to this site's scope.
• •Clinical oversight: 2 of 2. Doctor consultations are included in the monthly price.
• •Pharmacy disclosure: 2 of 2. Its help center states that every partner pharmacy is a licensed 503A compounder.
• •Human support: 2 of 2. Ongoing monitoring and messaging with the care team are included.

That is 12 points out of 14, an A. Maximus puts its plan ladder, its pharmacy standard and its cancellation rules in plain view. Start on the month-to-month plan, add the lab kits to your budget, and only commit to a longer plan once you know the protocol works for you.
