I was looking to purchase some Reed Life to clean oboe reeds and can't seem to find a source. Is it discontinued?

I got some from the Doctor's Products just a few weeks ago. Haven't heard anything about it being discontinued; I hope not, as I depend on it.

Yeah I tried Weiner's and WWBW and both were out/not listing it. I'll try from the Doctor himself. It really helps resurrect oboe reeds!

Who needs Reed Life......a mixture of half-and-half glycerol and hydrogen peroxide is just as good and a tenth of the price.

(Disclaimer - I am the NA distributor of ReedLife)
ReedLife is still available in limited quantities - I have not had enough to supply WWBW and Weiner of late however. ReedLife production has been limited by staffing cuts.
ReedLife is not simply a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and glycerol (BTW 50% Glycerol is way off the charts high) but has other humectants in a patented formulation.
