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)

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. Albumin binding above 99% is the whole reason weekly dosing works, and it is also why the trough matters more than the peak. People who dose late are not losing a peak, they are letting the trough fall, and the appetite effect tracks the trough.

Compounded has been just as effective for me. If compounded supply is the concern, the COA from my 503B pharmacy shows 99.1% purity. Verified by Janoshik.
OP back with an update, since a thread like this is useless without one.
Update since I posted: I held at 1.7mg for a further twelve weeks and lost another 4kg slowly, which settles it for me. I was escalating because the number was available, not because I had stopped responding.
