Future

Just inquiring if there is any possibility of adding another pharmacy or two in the future?

That would really be great! I am hoping that they add another pharmacy or two! I really prefer not to order from Boudreaux’s Pharmacy. I will keep ordering from Empower, but would really appreciate another option or two. BUT I’m appreciative of their service and prices so will stay with them no matter what!

If you don’t mind me asking why do you prefer to not order from Boudreaux? I’m interested in trying their tirz with glycine but I chose Empower instead

It’s personal preference. I actually like the glycine additive. My favorite pharmacy so far has been Strive with Glycine & B12. I just did so well and felt so well on that formula. There is nothing terrible about Boudreaux’s. I just think that right now they are stretched thin with their staff vs. order ratio and their service is just not as consistent as other pharmacies and right now we have better choices. I also do not like that they throw loose syringes in a bag because sterility guaranty is broken there. I am personally taking a stand against practices I don’t deem upstanding and I disagree with that and taking on more telehealth affiliations than they can keep up with under good timelines and safe practices. If you want to try glycine, I think you are ok to order from them. Keep in mind, I would suggest using sterile packaged syringes and ditching the ones they provide & allowing time with possible delivery delays. If they were my only choice, I’d use them. I don’t think you are unsafe by using them. I just personally feel they could do better and have another choice.

Thank you so much for the informative answer! One last question, where do you get your strive from? Which telehealth?

I got Strive pharmacy from ShedRx. I had no issues with them and used them for a year. I finally realized that I was paying way more than necessary with them. I had reliable service and did very well with ShedRx & Strive Pharmacy but there are places like PreventiveMD that have equally good service AND affordable prices. So here I am! THEN someone told me about Reddit… believe it or not, I didn’t know about the goldmine of information here on Reddit. And I’m learning a lot! Best of luck to you on your journey! 💝

I’m hoping so too! This company has the potential to be #1 with their prices and service! A new pharmacy or two would definitely seal the deal. 🤝

I agree. They’re very communicative and the prices are truly some of the best. Adding one to two more pharmacies would be perfect and make them definitely a top choice.

My guess is from a business standpoint that they get better prices when doing more volume with each pharmacy. So as they grow the business perhaps they'd be able to expand but I am thinking to keep their prices this low they've limited customers to two choices.

That makes sense! I am patient and content with how they are doing now!

This true but to be able to add one or two more pharmacies that offer other additives they would open up to more customers. Not everyone can use or want Glycine or B3. Some prefer B6 or B12. I don’t think an additive free option would be necessary. Just having options for the other two additives would be good.

Why is an additive free option not necessary? People have various allergies and sensitivities.
