This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth. Nothing to add that would improve it.

Adding a me-too, because a thread of one person's experience is not much use. Posting only so the count is not one.

Price comparison for compounded supply across sources I've used:
| Source | Monthly Cost | Type | Purity Verified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brand (Ozempic) | $939 | FDA-approved | N/A (pharma) |
| 503B Compounding | $169 | cGMP compounded | Yes (in-house) |
| 503A Compounding | $129 | Patient-specific | Varies |
| Research peptide | $54 | 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.

Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 12 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 48 hours (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.
