For compounded supply users considering compounded for the first time: here's a step-by-step guide:
- Get a prescription from your doctor (telehealth counts)
- Research 503B compounding pharmacies with good community reviews
- Verify their FDA registration and inspection history
- Request a COA for your specific compound before ordering
- Start with a 1-month supply to test
- Consider sending a sample to Janoshik for independent verification
- Track your response compared to brand (if you were on it previously)

Regarding compounded supply compounding legality: compounding pharmacies can legally produce semaglutide and tirzepatide while these drugs remain on the FDA shortage list. If/when the shortage resolves, the legal landscape may change.
Stay informed. The FDA shortage list is updated regularly. Current status as of my last check: semaglutide shortage ongoing, tirzepatide partially resolved. This directly impacts compounding availability.

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.
