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.

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 rather than against each other alone.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
