At Strive, quality isn’t a checkbox; it’s the foundation of everything we do. From that very first ingredient to the final vial that reaches your hands, we hold ourselves to higher standards than the industry norm. Because where real people’s health is concerned, exceptional isn’t extra.
The journey to trustworthy medicine begins with the legitimate, responsible, and compliant sourcing of high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
Every ingredient we use comes from FDA-registered suppliers (manufacturers and distributors).
Our GLP-1 ingredients are sourced exclusively from FDA-official “GLP-1 Green List” facilities, ensuring they are legitimate, compliant, and authentic.
Each ingredient shipment arrives with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), a document providing test results for the identity, purity, and potency of what’s inside.
After sourcing, ingredients are brought into our licensed 503A compounding pharmacy. This is where Strive takes compliance and accreditation to the next level.
We voluntarily pursue one of the toughest accreditations in the compounding industry.

We don’t just meet established standards. We build additional quality controls into our processes to provide greater assurance at every step.
Strive sends samples from randomly selected sterile batches for third-party potency testing multiple times each week. This ongoing testing helps verify the competency of our compounding staff and the consistency of our compounding processes.We also apply a strict internal weighing tolerance during preparation: APIs must be weighed within ±3% of the calculated amount. This is a preparation control, not the potency test’s passing range. It is designed to help finished compounds test closer to the middle of the applicable potency range.Finished samples are tested by an FDA-registered third-party laboratory. Results are evaluated against the acceptance criteria applicable to each drug product, including any stricter range specified in its USP monograph.
After compounding is complete, every sterile batch undergoes third-party sterility and endotoxin testing.If a batch does not meet either requirement, it is immediately placed in QA quarantine while our Quality team conducts a formal investigation. The affected batch is not released and is ultimately discarded.
Whether you’re a Strive provider or patient, you can feel confident knowing that every dose is:
Formulated with authentic, compliantly sourced ingredients.
Compounded in a licensed, accredited pharmacy. To go beyond minimum requirements, we are voluntarily accredited at some of our Strive locations by PCAB/ACHC and/or NABP/VPP.
Backed by rigorous quality standards.
Because when it comes to personal health, shortcuts aren’t an option.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are specially prepared for identified individual patient needs based on a valid prescription from a prescribing healthcare practitioner. Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the prescriber at the discretion of their independent professional judgment. Availability, prescription requirements, and permissible compounding practices vary by state law.
