[PSA] shortage list is not what most of this community thinks it is
Confession thread, sort of.
I went from 10mg to 2.5mg much faster than I should have because the scale had stalled and I got impatient. The stall broke about 12 weeks later, at which point I had no way of knowing whether the dose increase did anything or whether it would have broken anyway.
So now I have muscle cramps I did not need and a data point I cannot interpret. Two lessons in one.
Posting it in the hope that somebody at week 77 reads it before doing the same thing.
best — the order this archive was captured in
Water content matters more than people think. If a vial is carrying residual moisture, your "10mg" is not 10mg of peptide.
The telehealth + compounding combo cost state board plus 19% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.
Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
I am going to push back on this slightly.
Did they tell you their API source or dodge the question?

regulatory claims need a citation to the actual rule, not interpretation

Disagree on that part. 96.8% and 96.2% on the same vial is normal.
the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again
Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.
Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

shortage list status is compounding, check the actual list
API transparency is the question that separates good compounders from sketchy ones
The 503A pharmacy I used lost their shortage list eligibility. Same day, compounding became illegal. Rules are real.
This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.
no pharmacy referral codes, naming is fine, recruiting is not
