Sometimes the answer is no.

Most glutathione products online are one click away. Ours isn't. Every VIVO treatment starts with a medical intake and a review by a licensed provider — and they decide whether treatment is appropriate for you. That's not friction in the process. That's the process.

You complete a medical intake. A licensed provider reviews it. They decide whether to prescribe — and if they do, a licensed pharmacy prepares your medication against that individual prescription. Then it ships to your door. No step in that chain is a formality.

A compounding pharmacy prepares a medication for one person, against one prescription — not in mass batches for a shelf. One thing we say plainly: compounded medications are prepared by a licensed pharmacy for an individual prescription, and they are not FDA-approved drug products. That's true of all compounded medicine, and you deserve to hear it from us rather than find it in fine print.

Most sellers in this category answer to no one. VIVO is LegitScript certified — ongoing monitoring of licensure, transparency, and advertising practices, not a one-time badge. We're not claiming that makes the medication work better. We're showing you the standard we operate under, so you can compare it to whoever else you're considering.

• —Is a real, licensed provider reviewing your intake — or is the "consultation" a formality?
• —Is the medication dispensed by a licensed pharmacy?
• —Is your payment charged only after a provider actually approves your prescription — or immediately at checkout regardless?
• —Does the seller tell you plainly whether what you're buying is prescription medication, or something sold as "research use only"?

A seller advertising "no prescription needed" as a convenience is describing the absence of the exact oversight these questions are asking about.
