What Embody tirzepatide costs

Embody sells compounded tirzepatide in four plan lengths, all with no membership fee: $129 for a month, $378 for 3 months, $738 for 6 months and $1,188 for 12 months, which works out to $99 a month. Its terms say provider visits and shipping are included and the price doesn't change as the dose goes up. In late October 2026 a site-wide banner advertised a $200 pre-Black Friday saving; the pages don't show how it applies to tirzepatide.

MaxLife charges a flat $120 a month, the same price at every dose, billed every 3 months ($360), with no membership fee. That makes MaxLife $9 a month less than Embody's monthly price, $18 less for 3 months ($360 against $378) and $18 less for 6 months ($720 against $738), while Embody costs $252 less for a year paid at once ($1,188 against $1,440).

What MaxLife offers

MaxLife is a telehealth company in Irvine, California that serves all 50 states by mail. Compounded tirzepatide costs $120 a month, flat: all-inclusive and the same price at every dose, with no membership fee and no hidden fees. It's billed every 3 months ($360). Cancel anytime with notice before your next billing period. The online consultation, ongoing medical support and expedited shipping are free, the medicine if prescribed and supplies are included, and higher doses are available when your provider decides they are right for you.

A licensed provider reviews your online intake, health history and clinical records, usually within 24 hours, can follow up with questions, and you can ask for a video visit. Completing the intake doesn't guarantee a prescription.

MaxLife (maxlife.com) is a patient management platform, not a pharmacy or a drug maker, and independent licensed providers decide whether a prescription is right for you. When a provider prescribes, a licensed partner pharmacy authorized to serve your state prepares and dispenses the medicine. Partners include Dirx Pharmacy, Southend Pharmacy, Hallandale Pharmacy, Red Rock Pharmacy, Advanced Pharmacy, Perfect Rx Pharmacy, Health Wealth Pharmacy, Quaker Community Pharmacy, VLS Pharmacy and NewLife Rx Pharmacy. Which one fills your prescription depends on your location, the prescription and availability. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.
