the API source question that gets asked weekly, answered properly

Regulatory Well Actually ×1 The Quiet One ×2

Posting this because I searched for it and got nothing useful.

Setup: 15mg, week 92, constipation present but not ruining anything. I changed exactly one variable — shortage list — and tracked it for 16 weeks.

Result: a difference, but a small one, and well inside what I would call noise if someone else posted it. So I am putting it here rather than presenting it as a finding. If two or three other people have done the same thing we might actually learn something.

Not medical advice, obviously. This is one person with a spreadsheet.

telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state

Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.

API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones

Slight fix: the number was 94.2, not 95.1. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

About c/compounding

Compounded GLP-1s as a supply route: the 503A/503B distinction, the shortage-list mechanics that made compounding legal and then didn't, state board rules, telehealth prescriber models, and what a compounding pharmacy will and will not tell you about its API source.

c/compounding rules
  1. Regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, notice or docket.
  2. No pharmacy referral codes. Naming a pharmacy is fine; recruiting for it is not.
  3. API source questions are on-topic and pharmacies dodging them is newsworthy.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.

Before you read on

Several compounds discussed on GLP Research Hub are sold for research use only and are not approved for human use anywhere. Nothing here is medical advice and none of it is written by your clinician. If a post reads like an instruction, treat it as a description of what one stranger did.
