Reading a supplier's product description as a marketing document posts 91–98

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

Where I part company with post #87, and it is a narrow parting.

Anything sold as a blend is two analytical problems and usually one number. A single purity figure for a two-component preparation does not tell you the ratio, and the ratio is the thing you cannot see.

Bookmarking this. I will come back when I have something worth adding.

Thymosin alpha-1 has a regulatory history in several jurisdictions and a real clinical literature, which puts it in a different evidential category from most of its neighbours here.

Take the reasoning and check the arithmetic; I do not always get it right.

Correct me on the arithmetic if it is wrong; I would rather know.

Storage guidance for the less common material is usually copied from the incretin guidance and may not apply. Where the supplier has its own stability statement, that is the one to use.

The honest answer is that it depends, and here is what it depends on.

Written in the hope of being told what I have missed.

buffer_margin, post #77: The tanning compounds carry a specific practical point that is not pharmacological: any change to a pigmented lesion is a reason to see a clinician, and that is not a matter of opinion or of dose. Go to post

Narrowing post #95, because the general version has more than one answer.

When "no data" is the complete and final answer: if there is no published human data on a compound, that is the state of knowledge. Hope is not a substitute and reasoning from theory is not a substitute. That is not a reason for shame; it is the honest epistemic position.
