18 months into the raw ban, which compounds are you genuinely struggling to find?

[Paris GH]

Eighteen months into the China restriction on raw materials and the compound landscape has changed quite significantly. In France I am seeing mast-e disappear from most sponsors. Primo is still available but at prices that make the cost-benefit calculation quite different from two years ago. The core compounds - test, deca, NPP - remain well stocked and priced reasonably. Who is still running the premium compounds and who has simplified their stack because of this situation?

[TEXMEX]

Primo is essentially priced out of most peoples reach now. Running EQ in its place this blast. Not the same compound at all but it is what is available at a reasonable cost. Adapt and keep moving.

Mast-e situation is the same here in the US. All the suppliers I use are on prop now. I actually find the faster feedback on where my E2 is sitting useful. Not the worst outcome from the raw ban situation.

[Chi Guy]

Primo is effectively gone at the doses I want to run it. EQ and NPP are filling that role this blast. Not the same compounds but you work with what the market provides. The core stack is unchanged.

[Mick AU]

Mast-e situation is the same here in Australia. All suppliers are on prop now. I actually prefer the faster feedback on how my E2 is sitting so it worked out alright in the end, reckon.

[BERLINER]

Germany is seeing the same supply issues. Core compounds remain available. The specialty compounds are where the constraints are becoming visible. Mast-e and MENT are the most obvious gaps in our market right now.

[FrankfurtFit]

The situation in Germany mirrors what I read from other European members. Core compounds remain available. Specialty compounds are where the constraints are visible. Mast-e and MENT are the clearest examples right now.

[Dutchman]

MENT sourcing in the Netherlands is essentially impossible right now. The raw material restrictions are the direct cause. No reliable restock timeline visible from any supplier. The compound is effectively unavailable until that changes.
