Science-backed benefits
Lean muscle mass
Studies have shown that, over a 12 weeks period, most men that increase their testosterone will gain approximately 5 pounds of muscle mass. 3
Sexual performance
Numerous studies have demonstrated that erectile function and sperm production improves when testosterone is given to men with low testosterone levels. 4
Energy & mood
Studies show that SERMs such as enclomiphene show a trend towards increasing energy. They do so through a mechanism that is different than stimulants such as caffeine, which can elevate heart rate, feel jittery, and cause energy crashes. 1 2
Boost productivity
Studies demonstrate an increase in motivation in men with unstable social status. Fuel your ambition and achieve personal and professional milestones. 5

The Differences between
Enclomiphene & Injectable TRT
![Enclomiphene schema](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/qag74ilj/production/b2fd7d9cf00c2a54829f55893e22dc6dec2700d8-1442x768.png)
Enclomiphene
Enclomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) with pure antagonist activity. It blocks the negative feedback from estrogen on the hypothalamus and pituitary, which leads to increased gonadotropin (LH & FSH) signaling to the testes to produce more testosterone.
![Pills](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/qag74ilj/production/74c136da0175e5e3bee2eb146c9e1dcd16a7ee47-688x242.png)

Injectable trt
Testosterone injections introduce synthetic testosterone directly into the bloodstream. While offering rapid and significant increases in testosterone levels, they may lead to fluctuations and side effects like testicular atrophy and decreased fertility due to suppression of natural testosterone production.
Testosterone replacement therapy suppresses the body's own testosterone production and may cause lifelong dependence.

This has been a great place for me - Second to none!
This has been a great place for me. In my fist month on Enclomiphene my testosterone doubled & went from 284 to 578 & my free level went from 55 to 105. Hard to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! Would like to have gotten 2.5 to 3 times that, as I feel around 800 to 900 would be good given my free percentage! I had a little trouble as I didn't get my updates done on time & delayed my meds this month. Was a bit on the snippy side & had to send out apologies. Melody with customer service has been GREAT! Got everything pushed thru in a few days, so hopefully I won't be out to long. Spazed out & got snippy with everyone, but they really pulled thru for me! Melody in Customer Service has been gracious with my LONG Story Messages! Even said "that's what there here for!" Which was great - Let me know my meds already shipped & gave me a tracking number! My libido is much better, I feel calmer & may reduce my Xanax! T levels DO impact you mood, anxiety, sleep or insomnia! Feel more relaxed & less anxious. Xanax was increased 5 months ago, but it was ONLY after a month on Enclomiphene I started feeling calmer! These folks have a GREAT blood testing system that is second to none! No vein puncture! Glad I found this place, sorry it wasn't around for the over 20 years of Hypogonadism I have endured! Thanks 2 everyone on the team, special shout out to Melody!

Simply a miracle drug. Life changing
I saw Maximus come up for a few months in my instagram feed. I questioned the legitimacy for months before I decided to do research. I found many verified reviews about how legit the company was and also medical studies on Enchlomiphene to find overwhelmingly high success rate and praise on the medication. I decided to do a blood test and while I felt symptoms of low T, I never thought it would be possible to have low T in my 30s. I was shocked to see I was on the 1st percentile. I jumped on Enchlomiphene/Pregnenolone and instantly started to see and feel a difference. When trt rolled out, I jumped on that too and wow, I feel even more amazing. My pumps in the gym are stronger, and everything that makes me feel like a man has been amplified. My wife even noticed IYKWIM and she is incredibly satisfied. This has been life changing for me and I expect to continue for as long as possible.

Outstanding Support & Trustworthiness
I don't think I've had a more pleasant customer-centered experience from any other company. From day one, I felt confident that I had chosen the right company to work with. I've had SIGNIFICANTLY MEANINGFUL improvements to my life because I started the journey with them.
Please read! There are many men's clinics out there that are trying to be like Maximus. Maximus has set the standard for men's care.
I've been on a few of their protocols and have had the results they guaranteed and then some. The community, the founder, the success team, and everything in between has been stellar. Special shout outs to Gabriel, Cameron, and Mickler; their responsiveness is above and beyond. I can sense that the team genuinely cares about what they do and back their mission 1000%. It's contagious.
The internet makes it incredibly difficult to filter through what's "real" and what's "not real". The research done at Maximus has ensured that users can feel confident in their decision to subscribe to the 6-star experience Maximus Tribe provides.

Hormone's matter
I never knew hormones played such a key role in attitude, daily emotional health and general well being. I appreciate the king protocol and I'm also taking the building blocks - it's been great so far.

Stellar customer support

I've been on Testosterone Protocol for 4 months now and I feel incredible.
I saw on ad for Maximus on Facebook and I decided to wing it. Signed up for the protocol, did my blood test, and discovered my testosterone levels. They weren't great. And now, I've more than doubled my free testosterone levels and I genuinely feel 5-10 years younger.
Every facet of my life has improved. I've been improving my health, diet, and sleep as well. Gotta say, love the product and the community its cultivated

10/10 - Highly Recommend
I'm entering my 2nd month of treatment (Maximus King Protocol - enclomiphene/pregnenolone), and my experience has been 10/10. I am feeling noticeably better - mental and physical energy levels have gone from a daily average of maybe 3/10 to 7/10 so far. Discussing increasing my dose in hopes of improving that even further.
But just as importantly, the customer service has been impeccable. Quick and thorough replies to all of my questions and concerns, which I really appreciate. This is a top tier experience. I highly recommend.

You have questions, we have answers.
How do I know EP Protocol works?
Extensive scientific research and clinical practice have vetted the oral medications used in EP Protocol. You can learn more about the research behind EP Protocol here.
EP Protocol includes CLIA-certified at-home lab testing to evaluate your “before and after” results. These lab kits allow you to see the results for yourself, and are used by your clinician to optimize the pharmaceutical dosage to your unique needs.
How does the at-home lab kit work?
As soon as you complete your onboarding questionnaire we will ship you your at-home lab kit via priority mail (if qualified).
The kit requires no finger-pricking. Instructions are fast and intuitive.
Completed kits are conveniently picked up from your home by one of our carriers -- at no additional cost to you. Or you can drop it off at one of our carriers if you would prefer.
Within days of the completed kit reaching the lab, your results will be shared with you and your Maximus doctor.
Depending on your location and how fast you complete the kit once you receive it, the entire process can take as few as 4-5 days.
Can I submit my recent blood work instead of taking the at-home test?
Yes! Please ensure that the following markers are included: Total Testosterone, SHBG (or Free Testosterone), and LH. Bloodwork must be within 6 months of signing up to be considered valid.
Is EP Protocol as effective as TRT?
EP Protocol is a safer alternative to TRT. It is based on extensive scientific research and clinical practice that has validated our approach. In fact, a recent review by top experts concluded that our therapy should “become the primary medication for men with secondary hypogonadism (low T) who wish to preserve spermatogenesis (fertility)… and is “a very promising drug for patients with secondary hypogonadism and who are concerned about the negative effects of exogenous testosterone (TRT).”
Read more about how Testosterone Protocol compares to TRT.
What is the cost and what’s included?
The treatment cost for EP-02 is $199.99/month, which includes doctor consultation and medication (if qualified).
Labs are required in months 1 and 2, and cost $72.50 each. The first kit is shipped upon completion of your onboarding intake to capture your baseline hormone levels. The second kit is shipped upon completion of your followup intake (~30 days later) to capture your hormone changes on EP-02. If additional labs are required, costs are passed through directly to you at no profit to Maximus.
Does EP Protocol have any adverse side effects (like hair loss)?
General adverse effects
The adverse effects of enclomiphene have been extensively studied during phase II and phase III clinical trials. The drug is generally well tolerated, however infrequent side effects may occur such as:
— Headache (observed in 3.3% of patients)
— Nausea (observed in 2.1% of patients)
— Diarrhea (observed in 1.9% of patients)
— Common Cold (observed in 1.7% of patients)
— Hot flush (observed in 1.7% of patients)
— Joint pain (observed in 1.2% of patients)
— Dizziness (observed in 1% of patients)
Overall, there was no evidence of drug toxicity and rates of adverse events were not significantly different from placebo. 1
Hair loss
Some people ask how our protocol could affect hair loss, because they've heard Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) worsens hair loss, since testosterone converts to DHT, another androgenic hormone that may contribute to male pattern baldness.
Our protocol is very different than TRT by stimulating your own natural production of testosterone, which affects DHT differently than synthetic testosterone taken from outside of the body. A study showed that testosterone replacement gel (1% 10g) increased DHT by 8X as much as enclomiphene, even at higher dosages than what we typically use (12.5-50 mg).
TRT also shifts the balance between the two hormones (DHT:TT ratio) towards DHT, while enclomiphene maintains the balance. Thus, enclomiphene should have less effect on hair loss compared to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), and is considered a more "hair safe/friendly" for most people. 2
For individuals worried about potential DHT side effects, or for individuals who already know they are susceptible to DHT side effects, we offer dutasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that reduces the conversion of testosterone to DHT.
If you are experiencing these or other side effects, please immediately contact your licensed clinician through the patient portal.

HSA/FSA plans vary on what services they are willing to cover. If you are uncertain whether your plan covers Maximus' services, check with your plan administrator.
Is EP Protocol vegan-friendly and kosher?
Yes to both, though you should specify your special needs during your onboarding so that your doctor prescribes the appropriate capsules.
We hold ourselves to the highest scientific standards — here are our sources.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
While over 93% of patients experience increases in testosterone, your results may vary due to your unique biology.
For patient groups characterized by comorbidities such as diabetes, considerable obesity (BMI >35), coronary artery disease, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, and with an average age of 63, a marginal uptick in risk for atrial fibrillation, acute kidney injury, and pulmonary embolism has been observed after initiating TRT. 1
Moreover, individuals with significant health issues including obesity, a familial history of clotting disorders, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and sleep apnea demonstrated a potential risk for venous thromboembolic events during enclomiphene treatment. 2
