About Liv Body
LivBody Wellness, LLC came out of supplements and wellness before adding a compounded GLP-1 telehealth program, and the twist is that treatment ships with the company's own muscle-preservation stack, protein, collagen, creatine and more. A consultation, provider support and a plan built for the patient come inside the bundle. Semaglutide begins at $179/month and tirzepatide at $279/month, with programs from $249/month.

Titrating up does not raise the rate, which is flat and monthly: $79 to start on compounded semaglutide, $109 on compounded tirzepatide, the telehealth visit and shipping absorbed into both. Clinicians come from the OpenLoop Health network. Trinity HealthCare Supply, LLC operates the service and puts names to its five dispensing pharmacies as well as to the physicians who prescribe.

Liv Body
What we like
- Semaglutide at $249 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
- Names 4 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality

- Semaglutide at $79 a month, 58% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $109 a month, 59% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information

- Names 5 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
