How Live Vital prices its GLP-1s
Live Vital sells semaglutide and tirzepatide as 10-week protocols, not month-by-month subscriptions. Semaglutide is $299 for the 10 weeks, which Live Vital advertises as starting at $99 a month. Tirzepatide is $549 for the 10 weeks, advertised as starting at $183 a month. Ten weeks is shorter than three calendar months. Dividing each full charge by ten weeks and multiplying by 52/12 gives approximately $129.57 and $237.90 per calendar month of continuous supply. These only illustrate the starter supply length. Later protocol prices are unpublished, so they cannot establish your ongoing monthly or annual cost.
The word "starting" matters. Live Vital doesn't publish what later protocols cost as your dose rises, so ask before you renew. It doesn't take insurance, but HSA and FSA funds can be used for any cost. Medications and supplies ship in temperature-controlled packaging, and Live Vital says everything you need to begin is in the box.
Considering Live Vital?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
One doctor, by name
Live Vital is a small practice built around one physician. Dr. Patrick Taylor, a family medicine and longevity doctor in Salt Lake City, reviews every intake himself and prescribes in all 50 states. He trained at the UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine and did his residency at the University of Utah.
There are two ways in. You can complete a self-serve online intake, which takes about 10 minutes, and a physician reviews it within 24 to 48 hours. Or you can book a free 15-minute phone consult first, and Dr. Taylor calls you. On the semaglutide listing, he says he starts patients low and raises the dose slowly to keep early nausea manageable.
After you're approved
Live Vital says it typically takes five to ten days from intake to starting treatment. Medication is prepared by a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy, which Live Vital doesn't name, and shipped to your home.
Once you're on a protocol, you message the care team through a portal. Live Vital promises replies within 24 hours, often the same day. Dose adjustments are included at no extra charge, and refills are synced and shipped automatically.
The practice also sells peptide protocols, such as NAD+, BPC-157 and tesamorelin, through the same account.
Canceling and refunds
You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. The 15-minute introductory phone consult is free. The current refund page says compounded medication is generally non-refundable once prepared or shipped; it does not clearly settle what happens to payment if treatment is declined. Ask before paying. Since you pay for 10 weeks at once, decide on the first protocol before you check out.
Live Vital doesn't offer brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.
