Is Livea legit?
Yes. Livea is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 7.2/10 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 Livea promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Livea. Its listed price is $99 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Livea discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Livea scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Livea 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 Livea 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.
- 1Livea shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask Livea which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $99, tirzepatide $199. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Livea serves 4 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.
- 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.

Pricing
Prices re-verified
Compounded semaglutide 'starting at $99/month,' injected once a week. Livea also lists a $69/mo program fee for consultation and supervision; whether the $99 includes it is explained at the free consultation.
Compounded tirzepatide 'starts at $199/month when available.' Livea says the end of the FDA shortage affects compounded tirzepatide, and it offers options based on eligibility, including brand-name alternatives.
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Livea'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 $199 a month, 20% below the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Livea
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Serves only 4 states, so check that yours is one of them
- 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 Livea charges
The standing price at Livea is $99/month. That sits at the affordable end of what we see.
- Compounded semaglutide: $99/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $199/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Livea'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 Livea dispenses
Livea 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
Livea tells you the 4 states it serves. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Livea. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Livea 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 Livea bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- the lowest standing monthly cost is what you are solving for
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
Our read
Livea competes on price: $99/month. The catch is disclosure, which is why Livea scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Livea falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Livea
Starting at $99 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Livea 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 your state is outside the area this one covers, consider DudeMeds.
