Getting Started with Maximus Tribe: The Initial Process

Everything shared here is based on my own research and personal experience. While I strive to provide accurate and well-researched information, I am not a doctor. Always conduct your own research, consult with a medical professional if needed, and make informed decisions based on your own circumstances. I may be wrong at times, and I welcome discussion and differing perspectives.

As I begin documenting my experience with Maximus Tribe, I want to provide a clear and objective account of the initial steps involved. There are mixed reviews regarding this service, and while some users report issues with customer support, Maximus maintains a strong reputation in the space. The company provides assigned doctors, operates on a subscription model to ensure a consistent medication supply, and offers a community-driven support system through their Discord channel. Over the past month, I have been observing conversations in the Discord, and while I have seen complaints, the Maximus employees appear responsive, with most issues being resolved fairly quickly.

Ordering Process and Subscription Model

The first step in ordering from Maximus Tribe is filling out an online questionnaire. This covers low testosterone symptoms, personal health information, and goals for using enclomiphene. Once completed, users choose a subscription model. There are three options:

• Monthly

• Three-month

• Annual

The longer the subscription, the better the pricing. I opted for the one-month plan to assess the effectiveness of enclomiphene before committing long-term. The total cost for my first month was $249.98, which includes the $100 blood test kit sent by Maximus. This suggests that the actual cost of the medication itself is around $150 per month for a 30-day supply at the dosage level determined in consultation with the assigned doctor. Based on discussions online, it appears that whether the prescribed dose is 12.5mg, 25mg, or another variation, the cost remains the same, but I have not yet confirmed this definitively.

I believe my prescription will come in 12.5mg tablets, which I plan to split and take every other day to start. My goal is to begin at a conservative dose, assess my response, and adjust accordingly.

The Assigned Doctor and Patient Portal

After placing my order, I received two emails. The first was from CRL, the company responsible for shipping the Tasso SST Collection Kit used for blood testing. The second was from my assigned doctor, Dr. Eric Wright (LinkedIn profile), who provided details on accessing the Elation Passport patient portal. This portal will be used for communication, prescription details, and test result tracking.

Additionally, Maximus encourages new patients to join their Discord channel, which serves as an informal support and discussion hub. While I have been more of an observer so far, I plan to engage more actively and may even share updates from this blog there.

The Tasso SST Blood Collection Kit

Within a few days, my FedEx package containing the Tasso SST Blood Collection Kit arrived. This system is designed for at-home blood collection and is significantly less invasive than a traditional venipuncture. The kit includes:

• The Tasso device for blood collection

• A heat pack to improve blood flow

• A collection tube

• An alcohol wipe, gauze, and band-aid

• A prepaid FedEx return slip

The blood draw process is remarkably simple and painless. The Tasso device adheres to the arm, and after pressing a button, blood begins flowing automatically into the attached tube. The entire procedure takes less than five minutes. Once the sample reaches the fill line, the device is removed, capped, and prepared for shipment. According to the instructional video provided by Tasso Inc. (video link), it is best to:

1. Be fasted for at least six hours before collection

2. Drink a couple of glasses of water beforehand

3. Mail the sample as soon as possible after collection

The cost of this test is $100, which some might find high, but it offers the benefit of being convenient, minimally invasive, and fast. For individuals who dislike traditional needle-based blood draws, this method presents an easy alternative.

Awaiting Results and Next Steps

As of this writing, my blood sample is packaged and ready to be shipped. I plan to drop it off at FedEx around noon today. Once the sample is processed, my results will be uploaded to the Elation Passport portal. I am particularly interested in comparing these results to my previous blood test from Quest Diagnostics, which was conducted on January 27, 2025 in the afternoon. Since testosterone levels tend to be highest in the morning, it would not be surprising if my numbers with Maximus come back slightly elevated in comparison.

Once my bloodwork is available, I will update this blog with my results and provide an analysis of how they compare to my previous test. If you have any questions about the ordering process, the Tasso blood collection kit, or anything else related to Maximus Tribe, feel free to reach out.
