Honestly kind of ironic when you think about it — a huge chunk of medicine worldwide is already sourced from places like India and China anyway, the NHS included. Only in a country with a completely privatized healthcare system would you get prosecuted for sourcing drugs "incorrectly" while the actual system is built around monopolies and price gouging.

Here's a link that covers BAC water stability pretty well: https://www.peprecon.com/research/bac-water-stability/ From my own experience I've used 90 day old BAC water plenty of times without any issues, so you should be totally fine at that 90-120 day range.

Honestly the regain issue is real regardless of how you lost the weight in the first place - I was over 200lbs at 20, worked out consistently for 6 years and got thin, then when life got busy at 26 and healthy food wasn't accessible at my job, I put on 60lbs in under a year. Now I'm 29, sitting at 250lbs, and was just diagnosed with insulin resistant PCOS, which honestly may have been there all along but my active lifestyle kept it in check. At this point I'm open to getting a little help because the hard truth is that the moment life disrupts your routine, the weight comes back no matter how you lost it - and I've lived that firsthand.

Honestly, it's not surprising there's been no weight loss at such low doses. All the clinical trials started at 2mg, and by the 3-month mark participants were up to 3-4mg with significant weight loss to show for it. Going at a snail's pace with the "start at 0.25mg and go slow" crowd has basically meant 3 months of spinning your wheels with nothing to show for it.

That's really interesting about the cap color difference - is that something people can reliably use as a visual check, or are there normal batch-to-batch variations in cap shade that might make it hard to tell which is which?
