Medications

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 entire weight-loss line is FDA-approved branded medication - Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound vial and KwikPen, Ozempic, Ozempic pill, Mounjaro and the new Foundayo pill - with no compounded product in the lineup
✓Genuinely competitive medication pricing for branded drugs: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149/mo and the Wegovy pen and Ozempic from $199/mo (checked July 26, 2026)
✓A microdosing plan for the Wegovy pill is offered at the same $149/mo, which is unusual for a branded product
✓Zepbound vial and KwikPen at $299/mo undercut what many telehealth platforms charge for the same branded product
✓Every product carries an 'Important safety information' link directly beside it
✓A large, established, publicly listed company with real regulatory exposure, rather than an anonymous LLC
✓Ongoing care is included from day one alongside the medication

Cons

✗The advertised prices are medication only. A Hims Weight Loss Membership is required on top - $39 for the first month, then auto-renewing at $149/month - so the realistic all-in cost starts near $298/month and reaches about $448/month for Zepbound
✗The membership 'does not include or guarantee a prescription', and medication 'is not available without a membership'. You can pay $149 a month and be declined treatment
✗The $39 introductory membership auto-renews at nearly four times that rate
✗Mounjaro and Zepbound are listed at $1,899/month, far above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.0 out of 5 across 8,862 reviews - the weakest independent score of any major provider we have reviewed here, despite the FDA-approved lineup
✗The '32 lbs' figure beside the Wegovy pill is asterisked to trial data for the branded drug, not to outcomes among Hims members
✗Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, so prescribing them for weight loss is off-label and depends on your clinical picture
✗Because medication and membership are billed separately, the headline price understates what leaves your account each month
