True, with the qualification that this is a self-selected group. The people for whom it did not work post less, and that shapes everything we think we know.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Adding it to my notes with a link back to this thread.

I read this differently from Dr.PathRoch, on substance rather than tone. A research-chemical supplier selling lyophilised powder labelled research use only is not compounding and is not claiming to. It is a different legal universe with no pharmacy oversight, no patient relationship and no content guarantee, and conflating the two in these threads helps nobody.
