There are people starting to look at that because that's the next thing in the arms race to make American peptides.

Everything's Chinese peptides.

There's no Guatemalan peptides?

China is the best at doing it.

Now, the compounding pharmacies vary in grading.

Some of them are really good.

They do all the testing, sterility.

They have very good quality control.

So you get a good product.

But they usually have to compound it with something else to get by the regulations.

Like they'll add on a B12 or a B6 to say, like, the patient had nausea from the traditional semaglutide.

We can compound them with B12 or B6 to get around the nausea.

And that meets the patient rule because there's two ways to get compounded medications.

There's a shortage or there's a unique need that the patient has.

Do we know that compounding with something else actually deals with the nausea or is that just a slight event?

It might help some people.

Got it.

Anecdotally, people will say that they respond better to the pens, like the actual farmer pens compared to the compounded stuff.

The research stuff is all over the place.

Like some of it could be better than compounded stuff.
