- Cancellation requires at least thirty days of notice, and medication costs are non-refundable
- No dose-by-dose price ladder or named medical director is published; ask whether a higher dose changes the membership price
- The site displays a LegitScript checker link; check its current record rather than treating a seal as product approval
- FDA issued MaxLife Technologies Inc. dba Maxlife a warning letter in February 2026; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
