Maximus: a closer look
Testosterone clinic's yearly lab panels; Optimal and Maximal, with many calculated scores. The FDA has sent Maximus a warning letter: The FDA warned Maximus on June 8, 2026 about false or misleading website claims for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. The letter does not concern lab testing.
In its favour
- Low yearly price for the Optimal panel
- Includes free testosterone and estradiol
- At-home testosterone kit with no subscription
To weigh
- No physician review of comprehensive panel results.
- Metric counts are padded with calculated ratios; Optimal's ApoB is estimated by formula, not measured.
- Lab company not named.
- Renewal wording conflicts between the Maximal card and the FAQ.
Superpower: a closer look
Yearly membership: one Baseline panel at Quest, clinician review, AI chat. We searched the FDA warning-letter database on October 31, 2026 and found no letter naming Superpower.
In its favour
- Lowest yearly membership price we track outside NY and NJ
- Clinicians from an independent medical group review results
- Satisfaction refund in its membership agreement
To weigh
- '100+ biomarkers' includes calculated ratios; Function's lawsuit alleges about 55 direct measurements (allegation).
- NY/NJ members pay double ($399).
- At-home draws cost extra and the fee is only shown at booking.
- Not available in 9 states.
