Billed in 3-month blocks, the compounded GLP-1 semaglutide starts at $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide at $183/mo. Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD founded the practice and every plan is written by a doctor, filled at a licensed US pharmacy and delivered to the door. Messaging the care team has no cap and nothing locks you in. Peptide and hormone therapy round out the menu. Telehealth reaches 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 9.0/10 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 $99 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.

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 $99, tirzepatide $183, a GLP-1 $299. 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 was read off Live Vital's own checkout on 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 $99 a month, 46% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $183 a month, 27% below the $250 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 retatrutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
- Its menu lists retatrutide, which FDA says cannot be used in compounding under federal law and has not been found safe and effective for any condition
What Live Vital charges
Live Vital charges $99/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $183/month
- Compounded retatrutide: $299/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Live Vital's $99 is genuinely below the middle, not just advertised that way.
bmiMD, at about $99/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
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.
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. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
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: $99/month, no FDA warning letters, and wide state coverage.
The Bottom Line
Live Vital's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay Live Vital
Starting at $99 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
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 Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
