And that led my friend to another big question: Waitwhat exactly does compounded even mean? Because lets be real, its a word that gets thrown around a lot, but most of us dont use it in everyday conversation
This is the core reason a single published ratio cant be applied responsibly across all research use cases: the right volume depends on the protocol, not a fixed property of the peptide itself
