Liv Body
What we like
- Bundles GLP-1 with the brand's own muscle-preservation supplements — differentiated from pure-medication competitors
- Corporate entity disclosed (LivBody Wellness, LLC)
- $249/mo program includes consultation and ongoing provider support — no hidden visit fees
- Semaglutide starting price ($179) is competitive with the broader compounded market
- Supplements ship from the same brand for a convenient bundle
Watch-outs
- States served not disclosed — check at checkout
- Pharmacy partner not named — only "US-licensed pharmacy"
- No LegitScript certification mentioned
- 503A vs 503B designation not specified
- No named medical director or clinical leadership
- Governing law and refund policy not publicly accessible
- Supplement bundling creates upsell pressure
- Split across two domains (livbody.com and go.livbody.com) weakens the trust signal
Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
