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

✓Offers both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1s, and labels which is which on the landing page: compounded semaglutide from $149.99/mo, compounded tirzepatide from $249.99/mo, and brand-name Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, Foundayo and Zepbound from $199.99/mo (checked July 27, 2026)
✓Brand-name medication at $199.99 undercuts its own compounded tirzepatide, so the FDA-approved route is not automatically the expensive one here
✓Trustpilot rating of 4.4 across 1,034 reviews
✓This offer is restricted in only two states, Alaska and Washington - the narrowest exclusion list of any provider we have reviewed
✓Substantial free tooling and educational content: BMI and TDEE calculators, a semaglutide versus tirzepatide comparison, and guides on what GLP-1s actually do
✓Testosterone, oxytocin and weight-loss protocols under one roof if you want hormone and metabolic care from the same clinic
✓The body-fat chart carries a 'Results may vary' disclaimer rather than presenting the figure as a promise

Cons

✗The headline result claim is '↓28%' body fat, sourced only to 'Averages based on real results from Maximus clients'. That data is not published, and body fat is a different measure from the body-weight percentages every other provider quotes - the two are easy to confuse when comparing
✗We could not find an explicit 'not FDA-approved' disclosure for the compounded products. The category is labelled 'Compounded' and the other is labelled 'FDA-approved', but the plain statement most competitors make is missing
✗No refund or cancellation policy is published - only a privacy policy and terms of use
✗A statistic on the oxytocin product renders as '↑ 0 %of participants reported', so at least one clinical figure on the page is broken
✗'Starting at' pricing on all three categories, with no indication of what plan length unlocks the lowest rate
✗GLP-1 sits alongside testosterone and mood products in a men's-focused brand, so the weight-loss programme is one line among several
✗No published phone number or support hours on the landing page
