question from a user

Empower is great for compounding. And as for the generics. I guess you would just trust the ones that you could actually find on the FDA website? I guess if it's coming out of Costco or Walgreens, the chance of it being a bad product is extremely low but the curiosity did exist just because at least anecdotally it seems like there might be some difference, at least in how you feel, but again, so much of this could be psychological so there was also that angle.

We trust the large chains more just like you suggest, and like the poster below states, since Testosterone is such a safe product & the production isn't hampered by a ton of restrictions like HCG is, there is little incentive for large companies to make poor versions rather than the real thing considering the risk is high & reward is low.
