Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Itemized price tables published in the terms for every product and plan: Flat Program semaglutide injection at $199/mo, dropping to $169, $159 and $149 on 3, 6 and 12-month bundles (checked July 26, 2026)
✓Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, as weekly injections or as a chewing gum formulation - a genuinely unusual needle-free option
✓No separate membership fee stacked on top of the medication price
✓Free shipping with 1-2 day delivery claimed
✓Full refund if a provider disqualifies you on medical grounds
✓Clinical services run through OpenLoop Health, an established nationwide clinician network
✓The terms state plainly that compounded GLP-1s are 'not FDA-approved or evaluated for safety, efficacy, or quality'
✓Named legal entity, published support email and a working phone number - support@joinem.co and (347) 269-4270

Cons

✗The advertised price is not the price in the contract. The landing page sells 'flat locked in monthly pricing' at $69/mo for semaglutide and $119/mo for tirzepatide. Neither figure appears anywhere in the terms
✗The terms' promotional Start Program is $99 for month one and then $299/month from month two for semaglutide injection, and $149 then $399/month for tirzepatide - four times the advertised rate
✗The cheapest genuinely flat rate in the terms is $199/mo for semaglutide injection, almost three times the $69 on the landing page
✗Two different cancellation deadlines appear across the same policy set: the refund policy requires 72 hours' notice before your billing date, the terms require at least 5 days before the end of your prescription period
✗All sales are final once medication is ordered, medical consultation fees are never refundable, and bundled plans are not refunded for unused months
✗The user agreement imposes mandatory arbitration and waives your right to join a class action
✗The countdown timer warning that 'price increases in...' was displaying 00:00:00:00 while the offer was still being advertised
✗'(4.8) Excellent!' and '125,000+ happy customers' carry no source; Trustpilot showed 3.6 from 3,906 reviews
✗The compounded, not-FDA-approved disclosure sits in the terms, while the landing page calls the treatment 'the proven way to lose 15% of your body weight fast'

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Offers both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1s, and labels which is which on the landing page: compounded semaglutide from $149.99/mo, compounded tirzepatide from $249.99/mo, and brand-name Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Foundayo and Zepbound from $199.99/mo (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Brand-name medication at $199.99 undercuts its own compounded tirzepatide, so the FDA-approved route is not automatically the expensive one here
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 across 1,034 reviews
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Alaska and Washington - the narrowest exclusion list of any provider we have reviewed
✓Substantial free tooling and educational content: BMI and TDEE calculators, a semaglutide versus tirzepatide comparison, and guides on what GLP-1s actually do
✓Testosterone, oxytocin and weight-loss protocols under one roof if you want hormone and metabolic care from the same clinic
✓The body-fat chart carries a 'Results may vary' disclaimer rather than presenting the figure as a promise

Cons

✗The headline result claim is '↓28%' body fat, sourced only to 'Averages based on real results from Maximus clients'. That data is not published, and body fat is a different measure from the body-weight percentages every other provider quotes - the two are easy to confuse when comparing
✗We could not find an explicit 'not FDA-approved' disclosure for the compounded products. The category is labelled 'Compounded' and the other is labelled 'FDA-approved', but the plain statement most competitors make is missing
✗No refund or cancellation policy is published - only a privacy policy and terms of use
✗A statistic on the oxytocin product renders as '↑ 0 %of participants reported', so at least one clinical figure on the page is broken
✗'Starting at' pricing on all three categories, with no indication of what plan length unlocks the lowest rate
✗GLP-1 sits alongside testosterone and mood products in a men's-focused brand, so the weight-loss programme is one line among several
✗No published phone number or support hours on the landing page
