Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Both price ladders are published in full and the arithmetic is correct at every tier. Semaglutide runs $249 for one month, $217/mo over three ($650), $175/mo over six ($1,050) and $158/mo over twelve ($1,900), checked July 27, 2026
✓Tirzepatide is laid out the same way: $297 monthly, $267/mo over three ($800), $217/mo over six ($1,299) and $167/mo over twelve ($1,999)
✓Every advertised saving checks out - the 13%, 30%, 37%, 10%, 27% and 44% figures all match the underlying numbers
✓One price across all doses, from 0.25mg to 2.4mg semaglutide and 2.5mg to 15mg tirzepatide, so titrating up never costs more
✓Possible side effects are listed openly on the product page - nausea, injection site reactions, decreased appetite and gastrointestinal discomfort - with a note that most are mild and temporary
✓Both injectable and oral formats are offered at the same published prices
✓Medication, provider review, personalised dosing and ongoing support are all included in the price, with free shipping and cancel-anytime terms

Cons

✗We could not find an explicit statement that the compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The site explains what compounding is but omits the disclosure nearly every competitor makes
✗Trustpilot has exactly one review of this domain, so there is effectively no independent evidence about the service against a claim of 2,400+ patients
✗Tirzepatide is billed as the 'Most powerful GLP-1 medication available' - a superiority claim made about a compounded preparation that has not been trialled against anything
✗The 'up to 15% of their body weight in a year' figure is presented as what TMates has seen in its own patients, with no published data behind it
✗The lowest advertised rates require paying for a full year upfront - $1,900 for semaglutide or $1,999 for tirzepatide
✗The site is behind bot protection and will not load without JavaScript, so pricing is invisible to anyone browsing with scripts disabled
✗No published customer phone number, support email or support hours
✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check

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
