I'm not at all optimistic.

It's difficult for us (entirely outside the pharmaceutical industry) to properly understand what RLC need to do, and whether they can achieve it in a sensible time. It is over two years since the last availability update.

The lack of updates is very disappointing - even "We're still working on it."

I agree. my instincts are they won’t come back. i’m currently paying £219 for 100 x3 grain of NP or armour and i’m on 4 grains day so it’s super expensive. this is before Postsge and customs,& i take metavive on top

SIGH!!!

I don't think it's coming back. And even if it does, it won't be the same as it was and it will more than likely be at least as expensive as the other NDTs.

I noticed that the issues of potency which RLC themselves refer to affected batches made in 2017. We are now five years after that!

That represents a huge volume of recalled product, lost sales, etc. Add in the costs of addressing all issues (obviously we have no real idea what they are but they are not going to be trivial). Then re-establishing their distribution/marketing. That has got to be a major financial burden.
