Our take on Live Vital
Live Vital prices its GLP-1s as protocols rather than monthly plans. Each treatment page prints a "starting at" monthly figure and, next to it, the total for a 10-week protocol, and the monthly figure is simply that total divided by three. Ten weeks is a little over two calendar months, so the real cost is higher than the headline suggests: $130.01 per calendar month by our math. The FAQ says plans are billed as a 10-week or three-month protocol and that prices apply only if you're prescribed. The compounded semaglutide cost guide shows how monthly programs compare.
Compounded tirzepatide follows the same 10-week protocol format, about $238.72 per calendar month by our math. Neither page prints a price for a higher dose, so ask whether the protocol price holds as your dose rises. On the upside, nothing about the price is hidden behind the intake: both totals are on public pages before you answer a question. The compounded tirzepatide guide explains the drug.
The medical side is more personal than most. Live Vital names its medical lead, Dr. Patrick Taylor, a family medicine physician in Utah, and its clinicians review each intake within 24 to 48 hours. You can do the 10-minute online intake on your own or book a free 15-minute phone consult first. Your clinician reviews your progress before each dose change, and you can message the care team through the patient portal at any time.
The weak spot is the refund policy. Its refunds page says you can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the billing period, and that dispensed medication generally isn't refundable. But where it should explain what happens if you pay and aren't prescribed, the page still shows an unfinished placeholder note. Ask support, in writing, whether you'll be charged before a clinician reviews you and what's refunded if you're declined.
Prescriptions go to a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy that Live Vital doesn't name, and the medication ships overnight in cold packs, usually five to seven days after you submit the intake. Its states page lists all 50 states. Its treatment menu also includes peptides such as BPC-157, TB-500 and MOTS-c, which aren't approved drugs; keep your focus on the GLP-1 plans. Compare it on the compounded semaglutide lineup.
What Live Vital costs
| Product | Real monthly cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutideInjection | $130.01/mo | $130.01/mo |
| Compounded tirzepatideInjection | $238.72/mo | $238.72/mo |
Prices are taken from Live Vital's own site and current as of this update. Real monthly cost folds in required fees and turns four-week billing into calendar months; that's our math.
Compounded semaglutide skips FDA approval: no one at the FDA judges whether it is safe, whether it works, or how well it was made before a pharmacy sends it out.

Fill out the 10-minute online intake yourself, or book a free 15-minute phone consult with the medical team first.
A clinician reviews it
A licensed clinician on Dr. Taylor's team reviews your history within 24 to 48 hours and prescribes only if it's appropriate.
A 503A pharmacy compounds it
Your prescription goes to a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy, which prepares and tests the medication for you.

Who prescribes, and the pharmacy

Where Live Vital does well
- Each GLP-1 page prints the full 10-week protocol total before you start the intake.
- Names its medical lead, Dr. Patrick Taylor, and says a clinician reviews every intake within 24 to 48 hours.
- A free 15-minute phone consult with the medical team is available before you commit.
- Your clinician reviews your progress before each dose change, with unlimited portal messaging.
- Its states page lists all 50 states, and HSA or FSA funds can be used.
What to check first
- The monthly figure divides a 10-week total by three. Work out the calendar-month cost before comparing.
- The refund rule for patients who aren't prescribed is still a placeholder. Ask support in writing first.
- No higher-dose price is printed. Ask whether the protocol price holds as your dose increases.
- The 503A pharmacy isn't named. Ask which pharmacy will prepare your medication.
- Its menu includes unapproved peptides like BPC-157 and MOTS-c. Stick to the GLP-1 programs.
It fits you if
You want to talk to a named medical team before starting, see the full protocol total up front, and don't mind paying per 10-week protocol.
Look elsewhere if
You want a written refund rule before you pay, a standard monthly bill, or a price that's stated to hold at every dose.

- Drug guideSemaglutide: how it works and the products that contain it
Semaglutide copies GLP-1, a hormone your gut releases after eating. It raises insulin only when blood sugar is high, lowers glucagon, slows stomach emptying and reduces appetite through the brain. That is why it lowers blood sugar and body weight. It is sold as Ozempic and Rybelsus for diabetes and as Wegovy for weight.
