New here, have spent months researching peps and I keep going back and forth. Out of all of the forums I have joined to read up on this material this seems like the most objective and professional (no pun intended) I've come across so I present my question here.. if someone could educate me because I feel like I'm missing something...
1. How are chemically synthesized peps biologically active? (ie sure you can sequence the pep and create an amino acid "chain" analogous to the bare-bones structure of the protein, but that has no bearing on tertiary or quaternary structure - it would be a jumbled cord of randomly associating amino acid residues with no predictable or useable receptor-ligand interaction.. implying I'd be throwing $$ in the toilet by buying anything not made via plasmid or vector recombination...)
2. How are you guys getting serum GH and IGF tests done without an MD order? Only lab I have found in my area willing to do is "anylabtestnow". Any others I should look into? For reference their lab tests run $275 for a GH/IGF panel.. not cost effective to just "try" out a $100 combo of ghrp2/cjc1295 or bottle of DES...
I am coming from a standpoint of a BS in Micro/Molecular Biology and a PharmD degree. If there is something blatantly obvious that I am missing I apologize.. like everyone else, just looking to find a less expensive alternative to US pharma hGH with the benefits of an endogenous product.
