THINK TWICE ABOUT EMBODY
The following is a letter I wrote to them after I had just absolutely had it and to no avail I never got any response except for generic emails stating they had my money in as soon as it was time to send my meds out again they would. And I was without them for 3 weeks- if not now then when?
The backstory is this: I microdose because my BMI isn't what it needs to be for insurance to pay. I think your BMI needs to be 30 and mine was 24. Anyway they said no problem we have a compounding pharmacy we send our microdosing prescriptions to down in Texas. We do this all the time no worries...
AND THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AS YOU CAN SEE! I sent this letter to the company, addressed it to the doctor I saw, and obviously the pharmacist below.
Subject: CLINICAL FAILURE / LOSS OF EFFICACY: Prescription Refill and Refund Request for LMM
Dear Dr. #@$&?!,
I am writing to address a severe formulation failure regarding my recent GLP-1 prescription, which was compressed into an ultra-concentrated, 10-unit volume. As a fellow compounding pharmacist, I am instructing you to bypass your standard patient response. Do not look at your log sheets and tell me that the correct mass of the peptide is in the vial. We need to discuss the physical volume-dependent absorption kinetics of the product you dispensed.
By forcing the dose into a minute, 10-unit (0.1 mL) volume, you have fundamentally altered how this peptide absorbs under the skin, rendering it clinically ineffective.
A 10-unit subcutaneous injection fails to generate the mechanical interstitial pressure required for convective bulk flow. Without this pressure to expand tissue planes, the drug cannot spread. It forms a tight, concentrated bead with an incredibly low surface-area-to-volume ratio.
Because the surface area exposing the drug to surrounding capillaries is so drastically reduced, systemic absorption is severely delayed. This leaves the concentrated peptide pool stagnant at the injection site, exposing it to prolonged local enzymatic degradation by tissue peptidases. The drug is being chewed up and deactivated under the skin before it can ever reach lymphatic uptake.
My previous 50-unit (0.5 mL) formulation provided the necessary vehicle volume to drive rapid interstitial diffusion, overwhelm local enzymes, and ensure uniform absorption. Your 10-unit shortcut has turned a fast-absorbing peptide into a stagnant, degrading depot.
Because this batch is clinically useless and has caused a major health setback, I am requesting an immediate full refund. Furthermore, I expect all future refills to be compounded strictly to my fluid, 50-unit specifications.
If your facility lacks the necessary formulation protocols to properly handle peptide volume accuracy, please let me, AND EMBODY, know immediately so I can permanently transfer my scripts.
I expect a prompt response regarding the processing of my refund.
Sincerely,
LMM

Heidi responded in a reasonable amount…
Heidi responded in a reasonable amount of time and was very helpful. She was going to investigate changing my rx to compounded with B12 instead of B6

Confusing emails
Confusing emails. After the call was done and she said I was approved and someone else would call about the other supplements, I got an email saying the provider missed the appointment. But we did it and all went well!

Could understand her and she explained much better on how to take it and if it works and don’t work what to do
