The good new is they just sell blanks, and don't put chemicals in there to trick the chemists. I think it costs Merk so much to test because Merk uses very expensive equipment to identify exactly what the ingredients are, whereas I'm just checking to see how many ingredients are in there and the approximate size and the UV spectra and am checking for the presences of flourine.

Interesting ccs,

should people who buy from US pharmacies be concerned about counterfeit drugs working their way in?

i would love if he did, but like i've said before- even if he does and it turns out to be real, it's no guarantee that future batches, say next year, will be authetnic. and i don't think he's going to be testing from the same pharmacy more than once.
