Six questions worth printing.
- 01What is your primary board certification, and in what year did you obtain it?
- 02Is this peptide approved for what you are prescribing it for — and if not, what is the legal basis on which you are supplying it?
- 03Which human trials support this use, and what were their size and duration?
- 04Where does the product come from, and can you show me a certificate of analysis for this batch?
- 05What outcome will we measure, when, and what happens if it does not improve?
- 06What is the total cost for the first three months, in writing?
