Vendor communication red flags for compounded supply:
- Won't provide COA before purchase — walk away
- Claims "100% pure" without analytical data — unrealistic

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.
