Same pattern here, and in the same order.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Price comparison for compounded supply across sources I've used:
| Source | Monthly Cost | Type | Purity Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand (Ozempic) | $956 | FDA-approved | N/A (pharma) |
| 503B Compounding | $136 | cGMP compounded | Yes (in-house) |
| 503A Compounding | $106 | Patient-specific | Varies |
| Research peptide | $46 | Not for human use | Often Janoshik |
I use the 503B option — best balance of quality, cost, and legality. The brand price is insane but insurance can help if you qualify.

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.
