Interesting thread I read about China dominating the rare earth metals game.

they raise costs for U.S. manufacturers who rely on those materials, which can ripple into higher prices and market drops.

I agree with this. But...
In my business, for years there was an unfair state sales tax on construction receipts.
The "above board" companies would pay the tax, while the majority (unlicensed or just brave) did not.
At the end of the day, as a business, you have to be competitive in order to have any business at all.
Resulting in prices for the consumer staying much the same but costing the companies who are trying to be law abiding.
What i'm getting at is, we'll still get cheap products IMO

I agree with this take. Now that people have gotten a taste of what peptides can do they will go above and beyond to get their stash. Companies are making money by the sheer volume of patrons.

Wouldn't make sense to turn away your customer base by charging that Eli Lilly MSRP.

Thanks for an answer! I can see “business as usual” until it absolutely can’t be usual.

I wasn’t headed toward the second item here 😬 although, isn’t the Oz patent in Canada expiring due to a missed filing date? If someone comes in at say half price that could be interesting to watch.

I do see your first item happening. I haven’t been here long but have seen a couple of waves of new users roll in. And I’m finding peps to be like Pringles… My small collection grows.

The Novo patent will expire early in Canada because Novo didn't pay the fee of $250 Canadian (about 185 USD) to maintain its patent there. https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/novo-nordisk-s-canadian-mistake
