This. Ask for the batch record. The ones who send it inside a day have told you more than any review could.

How many separate lots is that across? One lot tested twice is one data point.

Correction: that supplier is in the documented twenty with a source page, not in the wider-market table. Different evidence bases entirely.

lead time quoted at checkout is the number to hold them to

The half-life explanation was the thing that made weekly dosing intuitive for me rather than arbitrary.

Fat-free mass index is a ratio of fat-free mass to height squared. It moves when either term does, which makes it awkward to interpret during active weight change.

a claim with no batch number is a marketing document

Minimum order and lead time — did they quote both up front?
