Being greedy and wanting to make profits/ a living are not the same thing. When it comes to profits, big pharma, and these compounding pharmacies, are thinking selfishly, and prioritizing money, over people. I’m sure both are well aware that MCT oil is a healthier and more desired carrier oil by their consumers, but they would make less money. So due to selfishly putting profits over their consumers/ customers, I would consider both greedy.
But that’s a good point, obv big pharma and compounding pharmacies have expenses that UGL sources don’t, and therefore need to cover those costs, before they can even begin to see profits. Testosterone raws are so unbelievably cheap tho. The profit margins are still going to be insane, after covering whatever additional costs big pharma and compounding pharmacies have to cover. They could use mct oil as the carrier oil, cover additional expenses that UGL sources don’t have to worry about, sell the testosterone products for very little, and still make a ton of profit. Again, when testosterone raws are bought in bulk, the profit margins are insane once the products are mixed up and ready to be sold. It literally all comes down to trying to squeeze every last cent of profits out of their products as possible, over using ingredients that would be healthier for the consumers. People are going to buy their products no matter what carrier oil they use. That’s evident by just looking at all of us. Even though we prefer a better carrier oil, we’ll still use their products regardless, including me. So I don’t blame them for using crap ingredients if people are gonna buy their products regardless, and profits are the #1 priority. Still sad that this is what big pharma/ the government/ compounding pharmacies prioritize, over their customers, but I do understand the logic behind it all. Still sad tho, imo
