Compounding pharmacies Threatened

Like everything else, there's valid arguments both ways. I've read studies that say 30% of the compounded testosterone is only within 20% of the strength it says it is. The clinic I go to said with many compounding pharmacies, the true dose isn't what's printed on the box. They said it's a real problem. But of course they claim their compounding pharmacy is accurate.
 
Wow, this could be a serious issue for most of us. I want to see proof that this is the case. If it's hard to compound, where are the problems it's causing? And are there any more issues with compound pharmacy's than with larger pharmacy houses? Show the public the proof, which you can't objectively get from the competition in the matter. I signed all three letters and anyone getting hormones from a compound pharmacy would be wise to as well.
 
I'm getting good numbers with my empower Test Cyp. Just switched to test prop so we shall see.
I don't doubt that. From what I know, Empower is fantastic. But that certainly does not mean others are too. I think this is a big problem with compounding pharmacies. I don't know enough about the science (or laws) behind it to know why it's a problem, but have experienced it myself, and know it is more of an issue than they want you to know. For every Empower, there are many others who fall short.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
