Pros

  • The FAQ publishes actual prices rather than a teaser: semaglutide $146/month and tirzepatide $258/month, with six-month plans at $750 total for semaglutide ($125/mo) and $1,350 for tirzepatide ($225/mo), checked July 27, 2026
  • A lifetime price lock is offered under code YUCCA4LIFE at $146/mo, which if honoured protects against the mid-treatment increases common in this category
  • Trustpilot rating of 4.6 across 1,197 reviews, closely matching the figure shown on site
  • The compounded, not-FDA-approved status is spelled out in full, including the point that these drugs do not undergo FDA review for manufacturing quality
  • The whole site is available in Spanish, which almost no other provider in this category offers
  • Licensed providers in all 50 states, US-licensed pharmacies and free expedited shipping
  • Refund policy and shipping policy are both published as separate documents
  • NAD+ and sermorelin are available if you want more than weight care, without being bundled into the GLP-1 price

Cons

  • A developer's note is rendering inside the live page. Between the product cards the text reads: 'the SSR pass triggers an "Invalid hook call" because the React renderer dispatcher is null in the Cloudflare Workers SSR pipeline'. An engineering comment left in production is not reassuring on a site handling prescriptions
  • Secondary product pricing contradicts itself: NAD+ is shown as 'Starting at $158' in one block and 'As low as $215' in another, and sermorelin as both '$158' and '$199'
  • 'Pricing is shared after intake once eligibility is confirmed' sits directly above a FAQ answer that then states all the prices, so the site cannot decide whether pricing is gated
  • Social-proof counters disagree with each other - one product card claims '1000+ Patients enrolled in last 7 days' while others on the same page say '100+'
  • Describing compounded products as having 'the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as brand-name drugs' is the claim type the FDA cited in a February 2026 warning letter to a competitor, even though Yucca does disclaim FDA approval immediately afterwards
  • The 'for life' price lock has no published terms explaining what would void it
  • No published phone number or support hours
  • No BBB profile or complaint record to check against the Trustpilot score

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
