Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use.

Compounding pharmacy customer here with experience relevant to compounded supply.
I've ordered from 4 different compounding pharmacies over the past 14 months. The quality variation is real — purity ranged from 94% to 101% of label claim based on independent Janoshik testing.
My current compounder (a 503B facility) has been consistently 98-101% purity across 8 orders. I pay $131/month vs $1,201 for brand. The savings are substantial and the product is equivalent in my experience.
Re: compounded supply — this applies whether you're using brand or compounded. The clinical principles are the same.

Compounded semaglutide formulations for compounded supply: some pharmacies add ingredients like B12, L-carnitine, or BPC-157 to their semaglutide preparations. Are these beneficial or marketing gimmicks?
My take: B12 addition has some logic (GLP-1s can deplete B12). L-carnitine evidence is weak. BPC-157 for GI protection is theoretically interesting but unproven. I prefer straight semaglutide with no additives — fewer variables, cleaner data on what's working.

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 9 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 7 days (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.
