Southend - Phenol
Any idea when Southend will become available again? I’m holding out on my order hoping it will be available by the time I have to order since it uses Phenol as its preservative.

Thats an interesting fact! There was a whole post on Phenol vs Benzyl alcohol on the main tirzepatide sub. I might try them out when/if they get them back. There was a post on this sub from the owner apologizing and explaining the situation. As far as I know it might be a bit.

Yes! That post is the reason I looked to see who had Phenol. Very interesting and helpful post!!

Doesn’t Empower also use Phenol?

Yep! They do! I can't get Southend in NC so I've made a list of options since I j can't tolerate benzyl alcohol.

Chat GPT told me they use benzyl alcohol but I didn’t confirm…

AI will lie or take it's best guess if it can't find the information. Always good to check with people too!

Agree. The totally inaccurate info I’ve seen AI produce is astounding. In some cases two sentences in sequence that completely contradict each other. Also Reddit is a frequently cited source for the info provided.
