Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. Nothing to add that would improve it.

There is a second half to this that has not been said yet. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.

Quick syringe math for dosing arithmetic dosing: if your vial is reconstituted at 5mg/2mL, that's 2.5mg/mL. For a 0.25mg dose you need 0.1mL = 10 units on an insulin syringe.
I keep a chart on my fridge:
- 0.25mg = 10 units
- 0.5mg = 20 units
- 1.0mg = 40 units
- 1.25mg = 50 units
Always double-check your concentration before drawing up!

Ongoing cost tracking for dosing arithmetic — transparency for the community:
Monthly medication cost: $147
Supplies (syringes, BAC water, alcohol swabs): ~$10/month
Janoshik testing: ~$12/month (amortized quarterly)
Lab work: ~$47/month (amortized quarterly)
Total: ~$177/month
Compare to brand Wegovy at $1387/month without insurance. Compounded is roughly 85% cheaper for what I have found to be clinically equivalent medication.
