Vendor communication red flags for compounded supply:
- Won't provide COA before purchase — walk away
- Claims "100% pure" without analytical data — unrealistic
- No physical address or phone number — accountability matters
- Pushes you to buy more than you need — pressure tactics
- Won't answer questions about their compounding process — transparency is key
- Payment only via crypto or wire transfer — legitimate pharmacies accept cards
A legitimate compounding pharmacy operates like a healthcare business, not a gray market dealer.

Reporting back.
Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
