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

Medications

orforglipron

Pros

✓The first and only FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss that can be taken at any time of day with no food or water restrictions, approved 1 April 2026
✓In the ATTAIN-1 trial, participants on the highest dose who stayed on treatment lost an average of 27.3 pounds (12.4% of body weight) against 2.2 pounds (0.9%) on placebo
✓Counting everyone randomised regardless of whether they finished, the average was still 25 pounds (11.1%) versus 5.3 pounds (2.1%) on placebo - Lilly published both numbers rather than only the flattering one
✓A once-daily tablet, so there is no injection, no needle disposal and no refrigeration to organise
✓Self-pay pricing is published up front at $149 per month for the lowest dose through LillyDirect, with free home delivery
✓Eligible people with commercial insurance may pay as little as $25 per month with the Foundayo savings card
✓Eligible Medicare Part D patients may be able to get it for $50 per month from as early as 1 July 2026 - a rarity in this category
✓Lilly reported reductions in waist circumference, non-HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and systolic blood pressure across all doses
✓It is a small-molecule (non-peptide) GLP-1, which is why it can be manufactured as a pill rather than an injection

Cons

✗Weight loss is meaningfully lower than the best injectables. 12.4% at the top dose sits below tirzepatide territory, so if maximum weight loss is the goal an injection still wins
✗It carries the class boxed warning: it may cause thyroid tumours including thyroid cancer, and must not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2
✗Should not be used alongside another GLP-1 receptor agonist
✗Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, vomiting, indigestion, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, heartburn, gas and hair loss
✗Serious risks in the label include pancreatitis, dehydration leading to kidney problems, gallbladder problems, severe allergic reactions and aspiration risk under anaesthesia
✗Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established
✗$149 is the price of the lowest dose only - higher doses cost more, and the $25 and $50 figures depend on insurance eligibility rather than being available to everyone
✗Very new to market, so there is no long-term real-world safety and adherence record yet
