Live Vital review
Divides a ten-week protocol by three and calls the answer a monthly price
"$83/mo" for NAD+ is $249 for ten weeks. Ten weeks is 2.3 calendar months, so the real figure is about $108 — roughly 30% above the number on the page.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
Live Vital does the hard part well and then undoes it. Prices sit on every product page with no quiz in the way, the prescribing physician is named (Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD), it is licensed in all 50 states, and the peptide bench is unusually broad for a small shop — MOTS-c, tesamorelin, TB-500, GHK-Cu and KPV blends alongside NAD+ and BPC-157. Then every one of those prices is a fake monthly. The FAQ concedes the mechanism itself: prices run "$66 to $299 per month depending on the protocol, on 10-week protocols". Ten weeks is 2.3 calendar months, but Live Vital divides the protocol total by three. NAD+ is advertised at "$83/mo" against a "10-week protocol ($249 total)" — $249 divided by 2.3 months is about $108, not $83. BPC-157's "$99/mo" is $297 for ten weeks, about $129 a month. Every product on the bench is inflated by the same arithmetic.
Live Vital appears on our recovery-peptide provider hub and our NAD+ provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You want a price on the page rather than after an intake, and you are willing to do the division yourself
- You want MOTS-c, tesamorelin or a KPV blend from a provider that publishes what it charges
- You want a named prescribing physician rather than an anonymous clinician pool
- You want a free 15-minute phone consult before committing to anything
Look elsewhere if
- You are comparing monthly costs across providers — none of Live Vital's monthly figures are monthly
- You want to know your dose: no strength or vial size is published for any product on the site
- You want a refund path or published cancellation terms — neither exists, and shipments are automatic
- You want a named compounding pharmacy, not a category
What it actually costs
What they advertise
"NAD+ $83/mo" on the product page, against a stated "10-week protocol ($249 total)". The treatments index runs the same pattern across the bench: glutathione $66/mo, BPC-157 $99/mo, GHK-Cu $99/mo, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin $116/mo, Wolverine (BPC-157/TB-500) $116/mo, Glow, Klow and MOTS-c $149/mo, tesamorelin $166/mo.
What you actually pay, month to month
About $108 a month for NAD+. The arithmetic: $249 buys ten weeks, ten weeks is 2.3 calendar months, and $249 divided by 2.3 is $108. BPC-157's $297 protocol works out at about $129 a month against an advertised $99. Live Vital does publish the protocol totals on the individual product pages, so the real number is derivable — it is simply never the number in the headline.
The commitment trap
The "/mo" figures are protocol totals divided by three rather than by 2.3. A ten-week protocol is two and a bit months, so dividing by three understates every price on the site by roughly 30%. Live Vital's own FAQ states the mechanism — "$66 to $299 per month ... on 10-week protocols" — but the treatments index shows only the divided figure, and you have to open an individual product page to find the total it came from.

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what Live Vital bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Yes
— a free 15-minute phone consult with no consult fee, and Dr. Taylor is stated to review every intake personally.
Bloodwork / labs
Not required and not offered. No lab gate is published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Not published as a separate line
Dosing is described as personalised after intake, which implies contact, but no follow-up terms are written down.
Human support
One physician. That is the entire clinical layer
— no coach, no dietitian, and a single point of failure on every intake.
Injection supplies
Not itemised on any product page.
Shipping
Automatic and synced to the protocol
— "Prescriptions are synced and shipped automatically so you're never scrambling for a refill." No shipping charge is published, and no way to stop the cadence is published either.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Type stated, name withheld. Live Vital says medications are "prepared by a licensed US compounding pharmacy regulated by state boards of pharmacy", and the FAQ references "a 503A pharmacy" — so you get the regulatory category but never the facility, which leaves nothing to look up.
Oversight
Yes — a free 15-minute phone consult with no consult fee, and Dr. Taylor is stated to review every intake personally. Not published as a separate line. Dosing is described as personalised after intake, which implies contact, but no follow-up terms are written down.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
All 50 states, stated plainly: "Live Vital is licensed to provide care in all 50 states through our telehealth platform." No LegitScript seal is displayed.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Every headline price on this site is a fake monthly, and the FAQ says so if you read it closely enough: "Every price is listed up front on the treatment page: $66 to $299 per month depending on the protocol, on 10-week protocols." Ten weeks is 2.3 calendar months. Live Vital divides by three. NAD+ shows "$83/mo" against a "10-week protocol ($249 total)", so the real cost per calendar month is about $108 — roughly 30% above the advertised figure — and every other product on the bench is inflated identically. Underneath that, no dose or vial strength is published for anything on the site, because "Dosing is personalized by Dr. Taylor after your medical intake", so you cannot check the price against the milligrams either. A price that is wrong in the numerator and unverifiable in the denominator is not price transparency, however visible the number is.
- The compounding pharmacy is never named — only "a licensed US compounding pharmacy" and "a 503A pharmacy"
- The treatments index shows only "/mo" prices; you must open an individual product page to learn it is a ten-week block
- No refund policy published anywhere on the site
- No cancellation terms published, despite auto-shipping
- One-physician operation — a real bottleneck and a single point of failure
- No dose or vial strength for any product, so per-milligram comparison is impossible
None of this is unique to Live Vital — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are catalogued in our vendor red-flags guide.

A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
