GH vs. Peptides - is one safer?

[Joltan]

I've heard Peptides are potentially safer than normal HGH. Is this true?

Seems like if they do the same thing, they would both have equal deleterious effects.

Who said they both do the same thing? One introduces artificially made HGH in peptide form. The other is a peptide which causes your own body to naturally produce more real hgh so is IMO much safer but IMO neither is unsafe as long as following correct dosing guidelines.

Perhaps, the primary reason why peptides are used in bodybuilding has to do with how they improve growth hormone production. It is no longer a secret how HGH helps to improve lean muscle mass.

Your body uses peptides to promote increased secretion of HGH.

If you injected rhgh directly, external hgh will help you improve lean muscle mass.

It's two different things, but both can works in synergy

 

[IronLion2]

In supraphysiological doses both can be dangerous and generally carry the same risks despite having different mechanisms. Diabetes, organ growth, heart hypertrophy, promotion of cancer cells, neuropathy, etc.

They are both dangerous if you use them heavy

HGH has been used by varying groups for therapeutic reasons for some time now. Many peptides are still being studied and we don't know what, if anything negative, could come from using some of them. Of course we know that increasing growth hormone levels can come with side effects, but we don't know yet if using something like cjc or some of the ghrp's could cause separate problems. When the pituitary is hit with a signal to release HGH, is it ok if it isn't the normal endogenous signal? Or is that bad somehow? And the frequency, etc etc. HCG is said to potentially desensitize leydig cells, making leutinizing hormone less effective. Will peptides do this to the pituitary? Or worse? Hopefully not, but we should take into consideration the possible risks of things that are newer, we just don't know yet.

Synthetic GH hans around the blood stream for hours.
GH pepttides product a pulse that is mostly gone after an hour.

I can see how GH would be more likely to cause diabetes.
