Compounding pharmacy licensing verification for compounded supply: before ordering, verify your pharmacy's credentials:
- State Board of Pharmacy license — check on your state BOP website
- FDA registration (for 503B) — check on fda.gov
- DEA registration if handling controlled substances
- PCAB accreditation — voluntary but demonstrates commitment to quality
- USP <797>/<800> compliance for sterile compounding
This takes 10 minutes of research and could save you from receiving substandard or unsafe medication.

Compounding pharmacy red flag checklist for compounded supply — if ANY of these apply, find a different source:
- No verifiable physical address
- No pharmacist available for consultation
- COA not available or clearly template/fake
- Prices dramatically below market ($30-40/month = suspicious)
- No prescription required
- Ships without cold pack or temperature control
- No batch/lot numbers on product labeling
- Pushes "research use only" products for human injection
Your health depends on product quality. Don't cut corners on source verification.

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.

I have been on both brand and compounded, and in the context of compounded supply, my experience has been equivalent with both. The key is finding a reliable 503B pharmacy with independent testing.
