Tirzepatide: additives, alternative sources, and how to deal with the ban?

I just found out about the whole ban on compounded tirzepatide (I been living under a rock apparently).

My provider presents these options to me now:
  • Empower Pharmacy (Tirzepatide/Niacinamide)
  • Strive (Tirzepatide/Glycine/B12)
  • Southend Pharmacy (Tirzepatide/B6)
  • Red Rock (Tirzepatide/Glycine)
I have been spending an average of $150/month on my dosage (3.5 mL/weekly) of regular compounded tirzepatide, but now I see all those options, and I don't know which one to select and how that would affect my protocol.

Any advice on what the differences are between those two options?

Also, has anyone here ever obtained tirzepatide from research companies? If this ban goes into full effect long term, I am strongly considering that.

I hear people are stockpiling tirzepatide, is that a good idea? I am getting nervous with this ban and I am wondering if I should look into that.

Any feedback and advice is more than welcome. Thank you!

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.
