Provider review
Maximus review
The advertised price is a six-month lock you cannot exit
$199.99 buys a six-month committed plan that their own terms say cannot be ended early or partially refunded; buying a single month costs $299.99.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Maximus runs sermorelin as a structured, physician-supervised programme with supplies included, pre-filled liquid vials that need no reconstitution, unlimited messaging and free shipping — and it publishes its whole price ladder, which most of this field does not. The problem is which rung the marketing stands on. The $199.99 figure everywhere on the site is the six-month plan. Buying month to month costs $299.99, a fifty per cent premium, and Maximus's own subscription terms say a committed multi-month plan runs to the end of its term and is not eligible for early termination or a partial refund. So the advertised price is not a price, it is a six-month contract, and their own policy advises starting month-to-month precisely because the committed plan cannot be ended early.
Maximus appears on our recovery-peptide provider hub. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You have already decided you are doing six months and want the lowest rate for that decision
- You want pre-filled vials, needles, syringes and alcohol pads included rather than reconstituting a powder
- You want unlimited messaging with a care team included in the plan price
- You want a provider that publishes its full price ladder instead of one teaser number
Look elsewhere if
- You want to try one month first — that costs $299.99, not $199.99
- You might need to stop early: a committed plan cannot be terminated or partially refunded
- You live in Alabama, the one state Maximus says sermorelin is not available in
- You want lab-guided dosing: Maximus states plainly that lab testing is not required, and bills IGF-1 testing separately
What it actually costs
What they advertise
"Starting at $199.99/mo", which is the 6-month plan. The published ladder is $299.99/mo for one month, $274.99/mo on the 2-month plan and $199.99/mo on the 6-month plan.
What you actually pay, month to month
$299.99/month if you buy a single month. $199.99 requires a six-month commitment.
The commitment trap
The advertised rate is a six-month contract. Maximus's subscription terms state that committed plans are paid in advance or in instalments for the full term and are "not eligible for early termination or a partial refund of the committed term" — so the $199.99 headline commits you to about $1,200 before you know whether the treatment suits you. The honest month-to-month number, $299.99, is 50% higher and is not the one on the marketing.
Money you will meet later
- "All sales of prescription medications are final. The return window is zero (0) days."
- Consultation and laboratory fees are separately stated as non-refundable
- IGF-1 testing is available but billed separately through Maximus Labs

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what Maximus bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Yes
— a physician-led care team with unlimited messaging, inside the plan price.
Bloodwork / labs
Not required
Maximus's own FAQ answer is that lab testing is not required to use sermorelin; IGF-1 testing exists as a separate paid add-on.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Unlimited messaging with the care team rather than scheduled…
follow-up visits.
Human support
A care team by message. No dietitian and no dedicated coach.
Injection supplies
Included, and unusually complete: pre-liquid-filled vials…
needing no reconstitution, small-gauge needles and syringes, alcohol pads.
Shipping
Free.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Not designated. Maximus says "LegitScript-certified, USA pharmacies" and "licensed US compounding pharmacies", which is a certification claim rather than a facility type — no 503A or 503B is stated.
Oversight
Yes — a physician-led care team with unlimited messaging, inside the plan price. Unlimited messaging with the care team rather than scheduled follow-up visits.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Published, and generous: sermorelin is available in every state except Alabama. California is dosed differently (a smaller weekly total on a smaller vial), which Maximus states on the page rather than at checkout.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
The daily-cost claims on their own page do not survive arithmetic. The hero says injections start at "less than $6/day" and the footer says "under $9/day", but $199.99 a month works out to about $6.58 a day and the true month-to-month $299.99 is about $9.86 — neither advertised daily figure is achievable at either published monthly price. Set that beside a six-month plan that cannot be cancelled, a zero-day return window on all medication, and first-name-only "verified buyer" testimonials with no verification mechanism, and the pattern is a company whose numbers are consistently rounded in its own favour.
- The advertised rate is only available on a non-cancellable, non-refundable six-month term
- Zero-day return window: all prescription-medication sales are final
- Two different "per day" claims on one page, neither of which matches either published monthly price
- No 503A or 503B designation, only a LegitScript certification claim
- No lab requirement at all, which is convenient but means nothing is being monitored
None of this is unique to Maximus — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are catalogued in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The other providers we rank on our recovery-peptide provider hub — the most specific board Maximus sits on — in the order that board ranks them.
- CoreAge RxOne price that does not move when your dose does
- HEHealthRXPublishes the whole price ladder, prepay strictly optional
- Try AgelessThree formats, and two different prices for the same vial
- Strut HealthInjection or troche, but $119 is the auto-refill price only
- MAMadeMedPrices are published — but there is no monthly option at all
- BHBodybuilding Health+Deepest peptide catalogue here, and the loosest one
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- SRSynergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to

A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
