Live Vital vs Apex MD
Neither of these figures buys an ordinary month of semaglutide: one is a fixed block that runs out mid-titration, the other is a mixture.

Live Vital
Partner
$130/mo
Sold in ten-week blocks rather than calendar months, which makes the advertised monthly figure smaller than the one you live with. Spread over the calendar it works out near $130 for semaglutide and $239 for tirzepatide — the numbers to compare against anyone else's month.
- The protocol total is published beside the rate
- A defined protocol length rather than an open subscription
- All fifty states, stated in the footer
- A named physician reviews every intake
- A ten-week protocol is priced as three months
- Neither GLP-1 is listed on the treatments page
- A fixed block means paying for unwanted weeks
- Compounding pharmacy is not named
Pick it for: A defined course you can finish and then reassess
Not for: Anyone comparing advertised monthly figures at face value.
Apex MD
Editorial
$299/mo
Prices all four combinations: semaglutide at $299 injected and $349 orally, tirzepatide at $399 and $419. Expensive across the board, but one of the few sellers that will tell you the oral figure without an intake.
- No plan term — a month is a month
- Both molecules in both routes, each priced separately
- Prices published before the intake
- 51 jurisdictions
- Priced well above where this market sets compounded semaglutide
- The semaglutide injection contains additives with no trial behind the combination
- $50 to $100 route premium on top
- Compounding pharmacy is not named
Pick it for: No commitment at all, if price is not the constraint
Not for: Anyone who wants the molecule on its own, or a competitive rate.
Our verdict
This is not a like-for-like comparison, and the reason is in the vial and the calendar rather than the prices. Apex MD compounds its semaglutide with NAD, B-12 and L-carnitine, so the higher figure buys a preparation no trial has studied, and no multi-month rate is published to bring it down. Live Vital sells a fixed ten-week course that covers the escalation and stops short of the maintenance, so price the second block rather than the first.

Before you choose either
Coverage is not the same, and it decides the question outright for anyone living in the gap. Apex MD serves 1 that Live Vital does not — DC. Check your own state before you weigh anything else here.
Whether these two publish a milligram dose is not settled in our records for both of them, so treat the two prices as not yet comparable and ask each what dose the monthly figure buys. Set the answers against every published price we hold — a lower monthly price at a smaller dose is not the cheaper option.
Our take is computed from a published rubric that does not read commercial status, and what is known about safety applies to both of them equally.
