They are adding B12 as a way to say that it’s tailored to individuals and not available.

I’ve used mainly compounded medicine over the last five years and find the fervent dislike that people have for compounders bizarre.

If you look into generic regulation in the US, the standards are already through the floor. I’d rather work with someone who has a more direct financial incentive to not fuck up.

Yes, adding B12 is a regulatory fig leaf. So is bribing public officials: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/07/hims-hers-donates-1-million-...

Sure, and Novo spent 2M last quarter on lobbying. Nobody in this industry comes out looking wonderful. But the compounders who are meeting demand are not Hims & Hers.

Totally the same. Enjoy your bone broth.
Is liking bone broth supposed to be some sort of dog whistle?

I am open to being convinced that I’m wrong here, but you’re doing a pretty terrible job.
