tesamorelinMOTS-cBPC-157TB-500CJC-1295/IpamorelinNAD+GHK-Cuglutathione

Pros

✓Every protocol is priced openly on one page: glutathione $66/mo, NAD+ $83/mo, GHK-Cu $99/mo, Wolverine and CJC-1295/Ipamorelin $116/mo, Glow, Klow and MOTS-c $149/mo, tesamorelin $166/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
✓A named, identifiable physician stands behind the service, and a free 15-minute phone consult with him is offered before you buy
✓It publishes a dedicated peptide therapy informed consent document covering risks, benefits and alternatives - genuinely rare in this corner of the market
✓Telehealth consent and a HIPAA notice are published alongside the usual terms and privacy policy
✓Products are prescribed after a medical intake and prepared by a licensed US pharmacy, with unlimited messaging included
✓Available in all 50 states, per the company

Cons

✗This is not a GLP-1 weight loss service. Live Vital sells no semaglutide and no tirzepatide - its 'Weight & metabolism' line is tesamorelin and MOTS-c, which work through entirely different mechanisms
✗Two of its headline ingredients, BPC-157 and TB-500, were placed by the FDA on its 503A Category 2 list - bulk substances identified as raising significant safety risks in compounding. They appear here both standalone and inside the Glow, Klow and Wolverine blends
✗MOTS-c and KPV have essentially no published human trial evidence for the benefits described, yet MOTS-c is sold as a weight and metabolism protocol at $149/mo
✗Tesamorelin is described as 'An FDA-studied analog that targets stubborn abdominal fat'. Its actual FDA approval is for HIV-associated lipodystrophy specifically, not general abdominal fat, and the compounded version sold here is not the approved product
✗We could not find any statement that these compounded peptides are not FDA-approved
✗No refund or cancellation policy appears among the published legal documents
✗No independent review record exists - no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file, no displayed rating
✗No published phone number or support hours beyond the booked consult

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓The full dose-by-dose price ladder is published before purchase: semaglutide 0.25 mg (4 injections) $125, 0.5 mg $245, 1.0 mg $295, 1.7 mg + 2.4 mg $345, 2.5 mg $395
✓No subscription is necessary - you can buy a single month without enrolling in anything recurring
✓HSA and FSA cards are accepted
✓Physician access is included in the product price
✓Ships 2-day or overnight, and the product does not require refrigeration in transit
✓A clear, published eligibility floor: a minimum BMI of 27 is required to order
✓If a physician does not approve your order, it is refunded instantly
✓A physician may contact you within 24 hours of purchase if more information is needed

Cons

✗A blanket no-refund policy on everything else: "Our medications are ordered specifically per patient and therefore cannot be refunded. We have a 'no refund policy'"
✗Subscription patients are automatically escalated to a higher dose every month unless they email support to opt out - and the price rises with the dose. The burden is on you to stop it
✗The escalating price ladder means the $125 headline is a first-month figure only. By month five you are at $395
✗You have 48 hours from delivery to inspect the package and report any problem, which is a short window if you are travelling
✗Insurance is not accepted at all
✗HSA/FSA support is minimal - only a plain purchase receipt is provided, with no codes, forms or physician notes if your administrator asks for them
✗The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved
✗No phone number is published - contact is info@citizenmeds.com only
✗The website itself is thin: the product catalogue carries far more detail than the company does
