Our assessment
Live Vital sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, names the physician who prescribes them, and prints the full ten-week protocol total beside each price. Two things undercut that. Neither drug appears in the site's own treatments catalog or menus. And the per-month figure on each page is the ten-week total divided by three, so a month on the protocol costs more than the headline. Budget from the total, not the monthly number.
The monthly figure is not a month
Each drug page leads with a starting per-month figure and prints a ten-week protocol total right under it. That per-month figure works out to the total divided by three.
Ten weeks is closer to two and a third months. So what you actually spend in a month on the protocol is higher than the headline, and the total is the number to compare.
Both figures are labeled starting prices. The pages say doses are increased gradually, but neither prices a higher dose or a second protocol. Ask what the next ten weeks cost before you pay for the first.
Compounded, though the drug pages never say so
Each drug page lists brand names as other names for the molecule: Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus for semaglutide, and Mounjaro and Zepbound for tirzepatide. Neither page says that what Live Vital sells is a compounded preparation.
The site does say it elsewhere. Its FAQ states that every protocol is prepared by a licensed US compounding pharmacy, and its weight-loss guide sets brand-name drugs against its own compounded versions.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products. A reader should not have to leave the product page to learn which kind this is.
A named prescriber, an unnamed pharmacy
Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD, is named on both drug pages, and the FAQ says he reviews every intake personally. His profile lists a medical degree from UNC Chapel Hill and a family medicine residency at the University of Utah.
He also offers a free 15-minute phone consult before any intake, with no obligation. That is a real chance to ask the questions this review raises.
The pharmacy gets no name. The FAQ calls it a 503A pharmacy, while the weight-loss guide refers to FDA-registered 503B compounding pharmacies. The consent form places sole responsibility for sterility, potency and safety on that pharmacy.
Service area, cancellation and refunds
The site says it serves all 50 states, in its footer, its FAQ and the physician's profile. Its Terms are narrower, offering care where telehealth is permitted. The GLP-1 intake opens with a warning that certain medications ship only to select states, and it does not say which.
You may cancel at any time, effective at the end of your current billing period. Medications and lab work are generally non-refundable once ordered or dispensed, and the consent form adds that no refunds are given for results.
Orders ship overnight in cold packs after a processing time the FAQ puts at five to seven days. Neither the drug pages nor the FAQ state a shipping charge.

Good fit if

- People who would like a free phone call with the prescriber before starting an intake.
- Buyers comparing compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide from one seller, with the protocol total printed on each page.
Look elsewhere if
- Anyone who needs a true monthly price. Each figure is a ten-week total divided by three.

- Readers who want brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic or Zepbound. These pages sell compounded versions.
- Anyone who needs the price of a higher dose or a second protocol before committing.
What stands out about Live Vital
Strengths
- Names the physician who prescribes, Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD, and says he reviews every intake personally; his profile lists his medical school and residency
- Offers a free 15-minute phone consult with that physician before any intake, with no obligation
- Prints the ten-week protocol total beside the per-month figure on both GLP-1 pages rather than leaving the real charge for checkout
- States a plain cancellation term in its Terms: cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period
- States its service area in words, all 50 states, on its FAQ and the physician profile
Trade-offs
- Neither GLP-1 appears in its treatments catalog or site menus; the semaglutide and tirzepatide pages exist but nothing in the navigation links to them
- The per-month figure is the ten-week protocol total divided by three, and ten weeks is about two and a third months, so a month on the protocol costs more than the headline
- Both figures are starting prices, and no price is published for a higher dose or a second protocol
- The drug pages list Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound as other names for the drug without saying that what is sold is compounded; that is stated only in the FAQ and a weight-loss guide
- Names no compounding pharmacy, and its consent form places sole responsibility for sterility, potency and safety on that unnamed pharmacy
- Calls its pharmacies 503A in the FAQ and FDA-registered 503B facilities in its weight-loss guide
- Its Terms limit care to places where telehealth is permitted, and the GLP-1 intake warns that certain medications ship only to select states, without naming any
- Medications are generally non-refundable once ordered or dispensed, and the consent form rules out refunds based on results
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved finished drug products
How this review was verified
- The semaglutide and tirzepatide pages each print a starting per-month figure with a ten-week protocol total beneath it.
- Neither drug appears on the treatments page or in the site's menus; both pages are live with their own intake.
- Both drug pages list brand names as other names for the molecule. The compounded source is stated in the FAQ and the weight-loss guide.
- The FAQ names Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD, as the physician who reviews every intake.
- No pharmacy is named on the drug pages, the FAQ, the Terms, the privacy policy or either consent form.
- The Terms state the cancellation and refund policy. The peptide therapy consent lists semaglutide and tirzepatide among its peptides and rules out refunds for results.
- No FDA warning letter under the Live Vital name. Untitled letters are published separately and were not searched.
