Provider review
Live Vital review
Divides a ten-week protocol by three and calls the answer a monthly price
"$116/mo" for CJC-1295/ipamorelin is $349 for a ten-week protocol. Ten weeks is 2.3 calendar months, so the real figure is about $152 — roughly 30% above the number on the page. NAD+ was quietly repriced from "$83/mo" to $149/mo and its page now states a real three-month protocol.
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 the arithmetic undoes it. CJC-1295/ipamorelin is advertised at "$116/mo" against a "10-week protocol ($349 total)" — $349 divided by 2.3 calendar months is about $152, not $116, because dividing a ten-week total by three overstates nothing so much as the honesty of the label. NAD+, which used to run the same trick at "$83/mo", was repriced in August 2026 to $149/mo on a stated three-month $447 protocol — the arithmetic there is now straight, at a price 80% higher than the old headline. Glutathione moved $66 to $119, and standalone BPC-157 left the treatments index entirely, surviving only inside blends.
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+ "$149 / mo — 3 month protocol ($447 total)" after an August 2026 repricing (it was "$83/mo" on a ten-week $249 protocol). Treatments index: GHK-Cu $99/mo, Wolverine (BPC-157/TB-500) $116/mo, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin $116/mo, glutathione $119/mo, Glow, Klow and MOTS-c $149/mo, tesamorelin $166/mo. Standalone BPC-157 is no longer listed.
What you actually pay, month to month
NAD+ is now a straight $149 per calendar month ($447 over a stated three-month protocol — advertised and derived agree). CJC-1295/ipamorelin is not: its page still sells a ten-week protocol ($349 total), and $349 over 2.3 calendar months is about $152 against the advertised $116. Protocol totals sit on the individual product pages, so the real number is derivable — it is just not always the number in the headline.
The commitment trap
Week-denominated protocols divided by three: a ten-week protocol is 2.3 months, so the "/mo" label understates those products by roughly 30%. NAD+ was moved off this arithmetic in August 2026 — by raising its price from "$83/mo" to $149/mo — while CJC-1295/ipamorelin still runs it. Which basis any given product uses is only discoverable on its own page.

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 personalized 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
Not published as a separate line. Dosing is described as personalized 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
The ten-week-divided-by-three arithmetic still prices products here: CJC-1295/ipamorelin shows "$116/mo" against a "10-week protocol ($349 total)" — about $152 per real calendar month, roughly 30% above the advertised figure. And the one product where the arithmetic was straightened out, NAD+, was straightened by raising the price 80%: the old "$83/mo" ten-week protocol became $149/mo on a three-month one, with no note to returning readers that either number had moved.
- The compounding pharmacy is never named — only "a licensed US compounding pharmacy" and "a 503A pharmacy"
- The treatments index shows only "/mo" prices; whether a product is billed on a real month or a ten-week block is only discoverable on its own page
- 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 cataloged 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.
