Hi, all !

Quick introduction, started on Semaglutide and loss more than 70lbs. Sadly Blue Cross and Blue Shield is a horrible company and changed coverage, from reasonable copay to 600-750 per month.

Went the route of the virtual visit and compounding pharmacy. Price was 499 for 3 months which was great for Tirzepatide.

Then found out many were just preparing from overseas sources and started my own research. Ended up with Retatrutide and working through the dose escalation.

Your post made me wonder, those compounding pharmacies prepping from overseas sources, do they have different vendors than we have access to? Like, im curious if they are using the same "grey" products we are, if they actually check purity and concentration, and if they even care.

I wonder that too, the raw products usually in industry called API are probably just coming from a few sources. I've never seen a compounding pharmacy for these mention purity or any other factors.
