Comparison of compounded dosing arithmetic delivery formats I've tried:
| Format | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized vial | Longest shelf life, lowest cost | Requires reconstitution |
| Pre-mixed vial | Ready to draw up | Shorter shelf life (28-45 days) |
| Pre-filled syringes | Most convenient | Higher cost, shorter shelf life |
| Sublingual drops | No needles | Lower bioavailability, less data |
I use lyophilized vials for cost and stability. The reconstitution takes 30 seconds once you've done it a few times.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. Posting only so the count is not one.

Adding the part of the answer the thread has not reached. Order of operations matters more than any single choice here: establish a baseline, change one thing, wait long enough for it to express itself, then measure again under the same conditions.

Coming back a few months on. It held. Nothing dramatic to report, which is the report.
