I compound tirz with glycine and B12. I honestly think these are miracle drugs.
I’ve never been extremely overweight but I hit a point where I had 30 pounds to lose, despite my height, and I can’t deal with the hunger amidst all my other life stresses.
In a similar boat (overweight, borderline obese - slightly elevated cholesterol - high stress) and my doc has recommended I look into GLP-1s and maybe ask my insurance which types they do and don't cover.
Worst comes to worst I could go compounding for about $200/mo from what I've seen.
if you saw the 60 Minutes on compounding pharmacies, which are completely unregulated and never inspected, and sometimes contaminate products out of lack of care/repercussions
you'd never touch a compounded pharmacy product ever again
Compounding pharmacies are regulated by section 503 of the FD&C act, and also subject to inspection.
Are you referring to the fact that the FDA does not inspect all facilities because they have limited resources? This applies to pharmaceutical companies as much as it does to compounders. If you think the FDA posts inspectors at every pharmaceutical company in India, you’d be wrong.
People are straight up buying black market "research use only, not to be used in humans" GLP-1. Compounding pharmacies are reliable, safe and well regulated compared to that.
Clearly, there's an entire spectrum of tradeoffs between safety/shadiness, availability and price. I think that's a good thing.
