That's fair. I couldn't find much info on their website, so I assumed this was another make insulin cheap using "biohacking" deal. I don't have any experience with small molecule synthesis or dry powder manufacturing, so I can't really speak to how feasible this may be. However, having seen first-hand all the ways simple manufacturing steps can go wrong, the risk of consuming a medication that hasn't been through rigorous QA/QC makes me very wary.
I share your wariness; the consensus on all the cross-posts seems to be the danger of it. open source drug testing would surely be vital in something like this.
