Compounded semaglutide formulations for compounded supply: some pharmacies add ingredients like B12, L-carnitine, or BPC-157 to their semaglutide preparations. Are these beneficial or marketing gimmicks?

My current pharmacy: average response time same day. They answered my questions about sterility testing thoroughly and professionally.
Communication quality is a proxy for operational quality. A pharmacy that communicates well is likely manufacturing well too.
Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. Thread quality here is what the rules are for. Keep it up.
