From the other side of the consultation, briefly.
Compounded semaglutide formulations for compounded supply: some pharmacies add ingredients like B12, L-carnitine, or BPC-157 to their semaglutide preparations. Are these beneficial or marketing gimmicks?
My take: B12 addition has some logic (GLP-1s can deplete B12). L-carnitine evidence is weak. BPC-157 for GI protection is theoretically interesting but unproven. I prefer straight semaglutide with no additives — fewer variables, cleaner data on what's working.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else.
Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads.
Beyond-use dating (BUD) for compounded supply compounded products:
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): typically 12 months from compounding date
Reconstituted with BAC water: typically 28-30 days refrigerated
Reconstituted with sterile water: typically 48 hours (no preservative!)
Always use BAC water for multi-dose vials. Sterile water has no preservative and supports bacterial growth after first puncture. This is a common and potentially dangerous mistake.

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.
