Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

Asked 24 compounders about API source. One told me, one dodged, one said they cannot say. The answer is the signal.

cloned storefronts use old images, search for those

Metadata check caught a COA that was created in a browser four months after the analysis date. Not evidence of fraud, but worth flagging to Homopeptide.

Strongly agree. Mass% and area% are answering different questions on the same document.

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

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

chromatogram or it did not happen

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

the community lane table lives here

Water content was 3.8%, acetate was 6.2%, purity was 99%, but net peptide was only 90% of the label weight. Perfectly honest, just chemistry.

origin to destination, carrier, transit variance

Yeah, 96.8% area is not the problem, the missing impurity breakdown is the problem.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with shipping, not with what you concluded.

Water content on the document? That affects your concentration math.

Water content on the document?

Counter-anecdote: opposite result, same dose. Which mostly tells us the variance is huge.

Which country? Rules differ.

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

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