Which fits your priorities?
Only the points where these two differ, from the table above and each provider’s record.
Choose Embody if…
- About $612 a year less than Live Vital for compounded semaglutide at standing prices
- Lists oral compounded semaglutide and oral compounded tirzepatide, which Live Vital doesn't price
- Unique compounded oral tirzepatide gum formulation — alternative for patients who prefer not to inject
What to weigh up
- The $79 rate is an auto-applied promo 'locked forever'; the terms list $199/mo and reviewers allege the lock isn't honored
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro option
Choose Live Vital if…
- Physician-led — founded by Dr. Patrick Taylor, MD; all treatments doctor-prescribed via the clinical team
- Every plan includes doctor prescribing, licensed-pharmacy medication, and direct-to-door shipping
- Unlimited messaging with the care team; you can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the current billing period
What to weigh up
- About $612 a year more than Embody for compounded semaglutide
- The advertised '/mo' rate divides a 10-week protocol by three, so a calendar month really costs about $130 or $239
