They gave advice and advertised it as being for human use. Prices are not even considered.

"Why this one got hammered by USPS (it’s not a “typical compliant RUO” case)The feds lay out a textbook mail-fraud + misbranded-drug case:
Blome ran the classic RUO website (“RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY,” “NOT FOR HUMAN USE,” “I understand” click-through) but:Gave explicit human-use dosing advice over the phone.
Continued shipping after Missouri Board of Pharmacy cease-and-desist (Nov 2024).
Shipped 31,776 parcels via USPS (mostly from Huston’s Hottel Springs house).
Took in ≈ $15 million in deposits (PayPal, CashApp, Zelle, checks with memos like “tirz,” “sema,” “peptide,” “meds”).
Products sourced from China → 3rd-party tested in CA → sold direct-to-consumer for weight loss."
USPS just seized millions in assets from 2 Missouri men running Blome Research.
Jason Huston & Casey Crider shipped 31,000+ packages of illegal misbranded peptides (marketed as weight loss drugs) through the mail. $15M+ deposited.
Homes, trucks, ATVs & more taken in Newton County yesterday.
Under federal watch for 2 years. Stay compliant out there.

@felixbe54584201 I'd d say that If diet was dialed in, people wouldn't take GLP-1s. Learning on the fly is the most predictable outcome here (and maybe the best too), and maybe creating customers for life.... sadly
😱PEPTIDE PURCHASE PRICE FROM A MANUFACTURER (LEAKED) 👀🔥
• Semaglutide → $2.48 for 10 vials (100mg total)
• Tirzepatide → $2.48 for 10 vials (100mg total)
Retatrutide cost + the most expensive peps
👇👇 Chinese Manufacturing is cheap. The rest is pure markup. Make sure you get your "Free Reship"

Patients pay $1,000+ for Ozempic/Mounjaro while manufacturing is literally pennies (in 🇨🇳). The gray market is unstoppable... too much money at stake.
@bowtiedmeathead It comes down to money, and then maybe dealing with doctors. But consulting with a doctor does not necessarily mean not going gray.
If yes → 503A
If no → follow the white rabbit
Education is key.
