Live Vital review
One doctor, two protocol lengths
A single named physician reviews every prescription — and the site cannot decide whether a protocol runs three months or ten weeks, which is a $45-a-month difference.
Our verdict
Live Vital is built around one doctor. Dr. Patrick Taylor reviews every prescription request personally, his name is on the page, and the site says so rather than hiding behind a clinician network. That is real accountability and rare in this category. The pricing is where it wobbles: the NAD⁺ page says $149 a month on a three-month protocol totaling $447, and the site's own FAQ says its protocols are ten weeks. Ten weeks at $447 is about $194 a month. One of those two pages is wrong, and nothing on the NAD⁺ page tells you which.

What it is
A physician-supervised longevity telehealth practice serving all fifty states, with a catalog built almost entirely from injectable peptides — GHK-Cu, BPC-157, TB-500, tesamorelin, MOTS-c, CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, glutathione — and NAD⁺ in the longevity track. Compounding is done by 503A pharmacies and shipped overnight in cold packs.
How it works
You complete a medical intake, Dr. Taylor reviews it for safety and appropriateness — stated at twenty-four to forty-eight hours — and if approved the prescription goes to a 503A pharmacy for patient-specific compounding and testing, with five to seven days total processing. Dosing is personalized after intake and adjusted through regular check-ins, and unlimited messaging with the care team is included in every plan. No insurance; HSA and FSA funds are eligible.
Pricing transparency
$149 a month, presented with the note that it is a three-month protocol totaling $447. There is no month-by-month option offered, so $447 is the real commitment and the page is straight about that much. What it is not straight about is the length. The site FAQ says every price is listed up front at $99 to $299 per month "on 10-week protocols", and their peptide guidance elsewhere describes eight to ten weeks of dosing followed by a two-to-four-week break. If the NAD⁺ protocol is really ten weeks, $447 is about $194 a month rather than $149. Ask which it is before you pay, because the answer changes the price by roughly a third.
Branded vs compounded
Compounded NAD⁺, and the FAQ says so plainly: compounded NAD⁺ therapy is not an FDA-approved drug product. Compounded drugs are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality before dispensing. The pharmacies are described as 503A but not named. No milligram dose is published — the page says dosing is not one-size-fits-all and is personalized after the intake. The NAD⁺ page also never states the route of administration; the site's dosing and storage guidance describes sterile subcutaneous injection with multi-dose vials, which is the only place a reader would find out what they are actually doing with the product.
Pros and watch-outs

- One named physician reviews every prescription, and the site says so rather than citing an anonymous network
- Licensed in all fifty states
- Unlimited messaging with the care team included in every plan
- States that compounded NAD⁺ is not an FDA-approved drug product
- Unusually candid logistics — compounding time, cold-pack shipping, beyond-use dates and what to do about them
- HSA and FSA eligible
Watch-outs
- The NAD⁺ page says a three-month protocol; the site FAQ says ten-week protocols — a difference of about $45 a month on the same $447
- No month-to-month option, so the real commitment is $447
- The route of administration is never stated on the NAD⁺ page
- No milligram dose published
- No LegitScript certification stated
- The compounding pharmacy is not named
Best for
Someone who wants a named doctor accountable for the prescription and is comfortable committing to a full protocol rather than a month.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who needs to be able to stop after thirty days, or who wants the product page to tell them whether they are injecting, spraying or swallowing it.

Frequently asked
- How much does Live Vital NAD⁺ cost?
- $149 a month as a three-month protocol totaling $447, per the treatment page. There is no single-month option. Note that the site FAQ describes its protocols as ten weeks rather than three months — at ten weeks, $447 works out closer to $194 a month.
- Is the protocol three months or ten weeks?
- The site says both, in different places. The NAD⁺ page's own figure is a three-month protocol at $447; the FAQ answering what treatment costs says prices are quoted on ten-week protocols, and the peptide guidance describes eight to ten weeks of dosing followed by a break. Get the answer in writing before paying, because it moves the monthly cost by about a third.
- How is the NAD⁺ administered?
- The NAD⁺ page does not say. The site's dosing and storage guidance describes sterile subcutaneous injection from multi-dose vials shipped in cold packs, which is what the rest of the catalog uses, and the page's own metadata calls it an injection. A product page that never names its own route is a gap worth noticing.
- Who actually prescribes it?
- Dr. Patrick Taylor, named on the page, who the site says reviews each prescription request personally for safety and appropriateness within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Most of this category routes you to an unnamed clinician network, so a single accountable prescriber is a genuine difference.
- Is it FDA-approved?
- No. Their FAQ states that compounded NAD⁺ therapy is not an FDA-approved drug product, and that it is prescribed under physician supervision after intake and informed consent. Compounded drugs are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy or quality before they are dispensed.
- Is Live Vital legit?
- Live Vital is an NAD⁺ injection providers service. Its stated availability: All 50 states. What our record does not establish: which medications it dispenses, whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.
- Is Live Vital expensive compared with other NAD⁺ injection providers providers?
- Live Vital publishes a starting figure of $149/mo. Across the 129 NAD⁺ injection providers providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $17.97 to $799 with a median of $170, which puts Live Vital below the median, toward the cheaper end. The other 39 NAD⁺ injection providers providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
