tried telehealth for 15 weeks. here is what happened.

PSA Receipts ×2 Clean Column ×3

I have had 5 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.

Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 10 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.

The independent number came back 93.7% against a claimed 98.6%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.

Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.

Disagree on that part. 98.9% and 99.0% on the same vial is normal.

This is correct. The shortage list does expire and the rules change.

u/rina_sobczak128 points·1 months ago

the shortage list is temporary, it ends and compounding becomes illegal again

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Slight fix: the number was 97.6, not 97.4. Decimal point, but a fairly consequential one.

u/prior_auth_painappeals7 points·1 months ago

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

shortage list status is shortage list, check the actual list

Yeah, 503A and 503B are different regulatory animals.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

state board rules differ, say which state

telehealth prescriber models exist, pricing differs by state

Rodent data is rodent data.

Adding to this: shortage list is doing more work than the comment implies.

The telehealth + compounding combo cost state board plus 16% markup. Not cheap but covered by insurance depending on state.

Inter-lab variance on this kind of assay is routinely 1–2 points. Different column, different gradient, different integration.

503B compounding is different from 503A, different rules, different legality

Tracking number removed. It identifies both ends of a shipment.

Strongly agree. API source transparency matters.

Edit to your parent would help — the concentration you quoted assumes one scenario and you have written another above it.

the 503A/503B distinction is load-bearing, do not blur it

u/honest_syringe_202521 points·1 months ago

The evidence standard in c/vendorvetting gets called too strict about once a month, and every time, the thread ends with the complainant agreeing.

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.
