Live Vital is a Utah telehealth practice led by Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD, prescribing compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide next to a long peptide menu. The GLP-1s are sold as 10-week protocols paid upfront: $299 for semaglutide and $549 for tirzepatide, about $130 and $239 a month. The site advertises $99 and $183 a month instead. It serves all 50 states.
Is Live Vital legit?
Yes. Live Vital is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 8.2/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Live Vital promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Live Vital. Its listed price is $130 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Live Vital discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Live Vital scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Live Vital has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
6.0/10$130/month is 35% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare. Every listed price requires paying for several months up front, so Value is capped at 6.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

What signing up with Live Vital involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Live Vital shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2Live Vital does not require a live video visit or baseline bloodwork before a first prescription.
- 3Ask Live Vital which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 4The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $130, tirzepatide $239. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Live Vital serves all 50 states.
- The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Every figure here comes from Live Vital's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $130 a month, 35% below the $199 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $239 a month, 11% below the $269 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Live Vital
Against it
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- 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
What Live Vital charges
Live Vital charges $130/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $130/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $239/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $199/month, so Live Vital's $130 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way. Some of Live Vital's plans are paid several months up front, so read the terms you agree to at checkout before you choose a longer one.
bmiMD dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $129/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Live Vital dispenses
Live Vital prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. What arrives is compounded at a licensed pharmacy, not an approved pen. That is the reason it costs less, and the reason the finished preparation carries no FDA review behind it. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder.
Safety and disclosure
Live Vital tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and that it treats patients in all 50 states. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Live Vital. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Live Vital will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. A 503A pharmacy answers to a state board and a 503B facility to the FDA; which one fills it changes what you can check. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Of the peptides Live Vital sells, BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and MOTS-c are among the six in the October 2026 HHS compounding policy. It says HHS does not intend to take enforcement action against 503A pharmacies that compound them under ten conditions, and it approves none of them. Live Vital also sells NAD+, and a 2026 systematic review found no outcomes trials of injected NAD+ for anti-aging or wellness.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Live Vital bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you need access wherever you live
Our read
Live Vital competes on price without an obvious sacrifice elsewhere: $130/month, no FDA warning letters, and wide state coverage.
The Bottom Line
Live Vital scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on follow-up care. Its compounded semaglutide costs $130 a month, paid up front, 35% below the $199 median among the sellers we compare.

Where Live Vital is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Live Vital sets more sellers in the same category beside Live Vital on price, states and what the price includes.
