  • Health Risk: Contaminated or mislabeled products can cause serious adverse effects
  • Quality Risk: Sub-potent products waste money and produce unreliable results
  • Legal Risk: Some suppliers operate in regulatory gray areas that may expose buyers
  • Data Risk: Unsecured payment processing can compromise personal and financial information
OPERATIONAL SECURITY: Every procurement decision is a risk management decision. These guides provide the frameworks to minimize exposure while achieving legitimate research and therapeutic objectives.
