## Our verdict

Apex MD states the additives are contained in its figure. Maximus Tribe prices the branded product beside the compounded one. Both remove a question a reader would otherwise have to ask.

## What actually separates them

Apex MD and Maximus state different things about published price. Everything else they publish, they publish the same way.

Apex MD costs $49.01 more than Maximus — 20% more for the same molecule. Whether that buys anything is what the rest of this page is for.

Over twelve months that is about $3,000 at Maximus against $3,588 at Apex MD — a difference of $588.

## Before you choose either

Ask both sellers what dose the monthly price buys before you compare the two figures. A price is only a price once you know what quantity it is attached to, and a seller that will not answer has told you something. Set both against [every published price we hold](https://thisglp.com/best) rather than against each other alone.

Our take is computed from a [published rubric](https://thisglp.com/methodology) that does not read commercial status, and [what is known about safety](https://thisglp.com/research) applies to both of them equally.
