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.
Mito Health: a closer look
Lab marketplace selling panels and single tests at the lab's price, plus a draw fee. We searched the FDA warning-letter database on October 31, 2026 and found no letter naming Mito Health.
In its favour
- Lowest single-test prices we track
- States CLIA certification and CAP accreditation
- Panels from three labs, including BioReference in NY and NJ
To weigh
- A per-visit draw fee is extra ($15 at Quest, $11.50 Labcorp, $9.50 BioReference), so headline test prices are not all-in.
- Member prices need a $99/yr membership; savings on one Core panel ($79.16) do not cover it.
- No refunds once labs are run.
- Clinician review does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
