What’s does the supply chain look like?

[Glp1judd]

Very curious how many steps in the supply chain or tirz (or any peptide).

There are so many sellers here, and all sound like manufacturers of some sort based on names, but I’m starting to see that most are resellers.

Also starting to sense that there are several additional steps in the chain. Producers, finishers, packagers, possibly distributors and then vendors.

Hopefully asking this isn’t breaking some sort of omertà. I don’t need names or sources, I’m just curious.

I wanna think elves are involved. I'd be fine if they were in a tree or in the North Pole.

I know this isn't the answer you're looking for but I fear the real origins would make loved one's stage interventions

Remember, they aren't peps manufactured and imported from China. They are simply "bootleg Mounjaro" or maybe "generic Mounjaro" sounds even less innocuous.

The fact that almost everybody carries the same set of peps in similar prices is a strong sign that the sellers are all or almost all middlemen players.

As other said, to me they're intermediate to the manufacturer and some sellers even purchase from these intermediate.

My understanding is that it's not possible for us to buy from true manufacturers even if we wanted to.

The sense I get is that there is some sort of “packager” as well - so some pharma co makes bulk peptides, and then the packager makes packages (vials) according to the orders of the wholesale companies (some of the vendors we see here).

And then some retailers buy from them in bulk and resell (domestic sellers, meds spas, and some compounders)

On the domestic large scale compound side I don’t know where they are sourcing. Maybe same packagers.

Honestly it’s probably like making sausage - I probably don’t want to know…?

From my limited research, there are handful of manufacturers that make the raw peptides. Raw peptides are very difficult to store and work with. they are very small, like a sprinkle of salt. Companies buy the raws and then lyophilize them (adding a filler, package into vials and freeze dry).

From this point everyone else is a middleman (or distributor). This is why the packaging is similar across the companies that we buy from. If you wanted a special dosage,(say 37mg Tirz), or cap color the companies we order from that don't lyophilize themselves would put in a custom order and pass it along to you.

I suspect a few of the larger companies that we order from, lyophilize themselves and sell retail to us as well as wholesale to the smaller providers we buy from.
