Why haven’t any studies been done for compounded products?
The majority of large studies are funded by drug manufacturers who are required to do so by the FDA in order to get a particular product approved for mass marketing. Some drugs (human hormones, for example) cannot be patented; therefore, there is no monetary incentive for any company to pay for an expensive drug study. Furthermore, there are published studies done for many ingredients used in compounded products.
