Vendor communication red flags for compounded supply:

  • Won't provide COA before purchase — walk away
  • Claims "100% pure" without analytical data — unrealistic
  • No physical address or phone number — accountability matters
  • Pushes you to buy more than you need — pressure tactics
  • Won't answer questions about their compounding process — transparency is key
  • Payment only via crypto or wire transfer — legitimate pharmacies accept cards

A legitimate compounding pharmacy operates like a healthcare business, not a gray market dealer.

For compounded supply users considering compounded for the first time: here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Get a prescription from your doctor (telehealth counts)
  2. Research 503B compounding pharmacies with good community reviews
  3. Verify their FDA registration and inspection history
  4. Request a COA for your specific compound before ordering
  5. Start with a 1-month supply to test
  6. Consider sending a sample to Janoshik for independent verification
  7. Track your response compared to brand (if you were on it previously)

Following on from maya_sedona — and this may be the naive question:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

GMP compliance checklist relevant to compounded supply compounding quality:

  • Clean room environment with HEPA filtration
  • Environmental monitoring (viable and non-viable)
  • Personnel training and competency assessment
  • Validated analytical methods for testing
  • Stability testing program
  • Complete batch records and traceability
  • Quality management system with deviation handling

A 503B pharmacy following cGMP should be able to answer questions about ALL of these if you ask. Don't be afraid to ask — it's your health.
