i do not order between december and february. that is my own rule after a january parcel arrived warm and soft
powder survived
a member in perth and a member in melbourne reported completely different transit times on the same supplier in the same month
dont order in january
summer is the risk

follow up is it cheaper through a clinic or a pharmacy in australia
people did stockpile before the compounding change and some of them are still working through it
the members who were on a compounded version mostly moved to the branded product and paid more, from what i saw
tga and medsafe are separate regulators making separate decisions, and people conflate them constantly

member reported figure
three gel packs and a foil liner got mine through a january delivery. the packs arrived liquid and the powder was fine
lyophilised powder survived an australian summer for me. reconstituted would not have and i would not try it
for the archive update from 10 months ago: supply where i am steadied and the price never came back down
three gel packs
