Raeliva
A San Diego marketing company that says plainly it does not prescribe. It names the practice, two of its doctors and six pharmacies.
Review by Leah Garner, clinical-evidence editor · Updated September 2026
The short version
Raeliva is candid about its own role, and it names the practice, two doctors and every pharmacy. The clinical claims are the weaker half. Most rest on trials of branded drugs, or on a sermorelin paper about children, not on the products sold here.

Raeliva is a brand run by Pacific Shores Research Group, LLC of San Diego. Its own legal page says it is not a pharmacy, does not prescribe and does not bill you. It sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as weekly injections or as daily tablets that dissolve under the tongue. The longevity line covers NAD+, sermorelin and glutathione, plus low-dose semaglutide and tirzepatide sold for metabolic support. Every product is compounded, and the site labels each one that way.
What Raeliva prescribes, by goal
Weight
- SemaglutideFDA-approved
- Injection (compounded)From $219/mo
- Sublingual (compounded)From $260/mo
- TirzepatideFDA-approved
- Injection (compounded)From $299/mo
- Sublingual (compounded)From $359/mo
Compounded semaglutide injection is $219 on the monthly plan and tirzepatide injection $299, each taken once a week. The daily tablets cost more: semaglutide $260 and tirzepatide $359 a month, dissolved under the tongue once a day. The site says the tablet delivers the same molecule as the injection. How much semaglutide is absorbed under the tongue has not been measured in people. No milligram dose is printed on any product page, and the price stays the same as the dose rises.
Longevity
- GlutathioneLegal to compound
- Injection (compounded)From $189/mo
- NAD+Legal to compound
- Injection (compounded)From $179/mo
- Nasal spray (compounded)From $179/mo
- Oral (compounded)From $179/mo
NAD+ is $179 a month as an injection, nasal spray or tablet, and the provider picks the form. The page prints no dose or schedule for it. Glutathione is $189 a month by subcutaneous injection, again with no dose printed. The glutathione page cites a skin trial in healthy women, and that trial gave 250 mg a day by mouth, not by injection.
Recovery
- SermorelinLegal to compound
- Injection (compounded)From $179/mo
- Oral (compounded)From $179/mo
Sermorelin is $179 a month, described as a once-daily injection often taken at night. The longevity page and menu also list a tablet at the same program price. No strength is printed for either form.
Sleep
- SermorelinLegal to compound
- Injection (compounded)From $179/mo
- Oral (compounded)From $179/mo
The sermorelin page frames the drug around sleep and recovery and cites a physiology paper on growth hormone release during sleep. Its main clinical source is a review of sermorelin in children with growth hormone deficiency. Neither source tested adults taking sermorelin for sleep.
Each “From” figure is the seller’s own starting price, in the unit the seller states. Where a required fee or a package length changes what one month costs, the smaller line under it is our arithmetic, not a figure the seller prints. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved.
Who prescribes
A licensed clinician
The prescribing is done by clinicians of Lion MDs, which the site calls an independent medical practice licensed in all 50 states. The FAQ names its two lead doctors, Dr. Ana Lisa Carr and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, with an NPI number for each. The About page names a different doctor, Dr. Hirenkumar Italia, as medical director, without explaining the link. CareValidate Incorporated runs the consultation, the prescription decision, your medical record and billing on its CareGLP platform. Six pharmacies are named: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx, The Pharmacy Hub and Foothills. The pharmacy that fills your order is printed on the shipment.
You start with an online questionnaire on Raeliva's intake form, which the About page calls a three-minute medical questionnaire. The answers pass to CareValidate, and a provider reviews them. The FAQ says the provider may follow up by text or email and may ask for a photo of your ID. A video visit is not mentioned on any public page. If you are approved, orders typically arrive within three to five days. Afterward you get ongoing access to the clinical team by message. Near the end of each plan a check-in form goes to a provider, who decides the next dose before any refill.
Are labs required?
Provider's call
No product requires bloodwork up front. The FAQ says a provider may review recent labs, order new ones, or decide a health history is enough. Lab work may be billed on top of the monthly price, and the site says you are told the cost first.

What it claims, and what it cites
The weight-loss pages print 14.9% average loss at 68 weeks and 20.9% at 72 weeks. Both are labeled as data from the FDA-approved medication and cite the branded trials. Each page adds that compounded versions were not studied in those trials, which is accurate. The before-and-after stories claim losses of 38 to 56 pounds. Each carries a note that the result is above the trial average and not typical. The homepage claims over 1,500 patients treated. A footnote says the count covers every site the operator runs, not Raeliva alone. The longevity sources are thinner. The NAD+ page cites a review of NAD+ biology in aging, not a trial of NAD+ therapy. The sermorelin page cites a review about children with growth hormone deficiency.

Sold by Raeliva, not listed here
- Microdose semaglutide and tirzepatide, $149 a month
- Sold for metabolic support at a fixed low dose, not for weight loss, and not comparable with the full-dose programs. The site notes that microdosing is not an FDA-approved dosing regimen.
How it bills
Each program has a monthly plan. The GLP-1 programs add prepaid three- and six-month plans. NAD+ and sermorelin add a twelve-month plan as well, while glutathione is monthly only. The site says the monthly price covers the medication, the provider review, shipping and ongoing support, with no membership fee. You cancel by emailing support or messaging your care team, and the FAQ promises written confirmation. Refunds come only in narrow cases, such as a cancellation before the pharmacy processes the order or a provider's refusal to prescribe. The terms add that medical consult fees are not refundable.
