How long before you saw gh results?

This is not something that is unique to GH. I have heard many times over the years were people will swear up and down that brand name drugs work better than generics. For the average, relatively easy to make chemical I would say this is not the case. For something like GH, and my understanding is limited so bear with me, I think there is more than simply getting the dose right and compound correct. It is my understanding that the folding of the protein, which is not checked by a standard testing???, can play a role??? Maybe that's total BS and were the pharma to be priced the same as top notch generics there would not be the mystique that surrounds pharma gh.
I just cannot wrap my head around companies other than sophisticated pharmaceutical companies being able to produce a stable molecule of either 22kDa or 20kDa rhGH in its three-dimensional, folded structure. I believe they can produce long peptides that activate the GH receptor and induce cIGF-1 increases (the important thing), but I don't believe they are producing actual rhGH. I could be wrong, but it seems more probable than not that it's something close-ish but not precisely rhGH.

So like a really well made bootleg movie, you can tell it's not perfect blue ray quality but you still get the majority of the experience lol.

If you listen to Alex Kikel, and he seems to be one of the most knowledgeable people on the planet with GH, that doesn’t seem to be the case...

I honestly think a lot of that is placebo effect to be honest.. We think because we’re paying more that it must be better, but honestly, it’s only ridiculously long expensive here in the states...

You think in Turkey, Greece, Europe, South America etc where a lot of these sources are selling their Pharm Grade GH from are paying the $5-$10 per IU they’re selling it for?? ABSOLUTELY NOT, they’re getting it for a fraction of the price and reselling it.. You can walk into a pharmacy in a lot of those countries and get legit Pharma Grade GH for about what really good generics go for on this site give or take a few bucks..

I do believe there are some “Generics” which aren’t generic and are either completely fake or substituted with something else like a peptide, but I 100% believe, because there are generic brands of GH used in pharmacies in some countries, that reliable generics, like TP’s for example; probably really are made in a GMP facility and they’re back doored like virtually everything else in life with an illicit market...

As I said before, they’ve been tested on every level and compared with exact same people doing the tests with Pharma and Generic, and the results virtually come out exactly the same...

So it doesn’t make sense that they’re “synthesizing something close but not exactly GH”...

Alex Kikel has spoken on this subject and it basically comes down to it being GH or not.. The cascades and effects wouldn’t be doing the same thing with a “something close clone version” of GH...

I think people just want to feel better about paying 5x-10x the price...

There are a bunch of people, a few IFBB pros included, that have used both for long periods of time and say there’s absolutely no difference in results...

It's absolutely possible that generic GH is being diverted from a sophisticated pharm company from overseas that provides real 22 kDa rhGH. It's also possible, and I believe more probable, that the predominant generic market are peptides similar to the 3D structure of 22 kDa rhGH but slightly off. Plenty, plenty of peptide structures could activate the hGH receptor without having the torsional force at the GHR that 22 kDa does. For example, some of our endogenous hGH is the 20 kDa isoform, and it does not phosphorylate the downstream targets as potently as 22 kDa. Given the lack of regulation in the black market, it's extremely probable that we're dealing with GH analogues. Which still work to a greater or lesser extent dependent on the structure.

When it comes down to practical effects particularly the activation of liver-released IGF-I, there are myriad molecules aside from "the one true molecule" that for our purposes work just as well. They just won't work as well as 22 kDa for GH-specific effects.
 
Vial of test from Walmart $100

Price to make vial of test $1

Pretty sure china has the means to be able to figure out how to make hgh and can do it cheaper than we pay here lol.

Anyone ever price out anything else from China? I went to buy Ice packs on amazon and they were like 12 bucks.. and you can order them for 10 cents from China lol.

I get what you’re saying, but again, you’re using fancy words instead of addressing how you have evidence to think it’s a GH analogue instead of true HGH?? Besides that it’s cheaper so it has to be some kind of GH mimic...

All the tests and comparisons come back the same...

Members on here with decades of experience report the exact same effects from Pharma and some well known, reputable and tested generics...

Guys like Alex Kikel as I said above, talk about generics and GH in general and the cascades and effects etc..

You’re saying it’s probably some type of mimic drug close to GH..... Yet it gives all the same effects and cascades as real GH?

Well if it quacks like a duck Bro, then it probably is a duck and you’re just trying to nit pick and find a reason (for whatever reason) to go against generics...

As I said in my post; there are countries you can get Nordis, Humatrope, Geno’s etc for literally the price of TP’s Grey Tops... Are those analogues too?? No...

The US is the only place where 100iu of Pharma GH costs $1,000... (give or take, but just for conversation sake)..

Also, that I’m aware of, there is no patent on HGH (something which I believe controls the high prices of certain medications), so other companies are allowed to make it legally without issue in generic form.. There are countries that use generic GH in their pharmacies as I said before... So I think it’s more than likely that good generic GH is being produced in real facilities and just being back doored like everything in China is...

If you don’t like them or can’t find one you trust, then cool bro. If you make a great living and would rather spend 10x on Pharma because you feel like it, then more power to you bro....

But that’s like saying my Sun Pharma generic Test Cyp that I’m prescribed is a mimic because it’s cheap (I get it for free from insurance) or my Generic Cialis made in India (which I’m also prescribed here in the US) has to be a mimic because the Eli Lilly Cialis costs $300+ for 30 pills and mine costs $14 for 30 so how is that possible?! It must be fake. No bro. Making these drugs, GH included isn’t as complicated as they made it seem 20 years ago when 100iu of generics used to cost $500 and I remember people used to say you can’t even squirt the Bac water on it because you’d ruin the whole thing and that it can only be in the fridge reconstituted for a couple days MAX... Lmao... We know now that is not the case..

I think you’re still living in 1994 with some of these things man lol...

There are significant differences between even what are referred to as biosimilar and reference quality rhGH [1]. Jintropin, Hygetropin were high quality biosimilar (but not reference quality) rhGH. After the US prosecution of Dr. Jin Lei (of Jintropin) by US regulators, he stopped prosecuting Chinese labs for quality violations in the Chinese market. Since then, a variety of different rhGH products have emerged, some biosimilar and others deviating in degrees of biosimilarity. Biosimilar, e.g., real Omnitrope is efficacious but not as efficacious as reference quality rhGH in the referenced research review/meta-analysis.


If you guys want to hear it from a guru, Victor Black has a Master Class course on Chinese hGH which explains the reality fairly well.

There are biosimilar rhGH's that are efficacious. They are not as efficacious as reference standard rhGH (Pfizer Genotropin, Eli Lilly Humatrope, Novo Nordisk Norditropin, et cetera).

This should not be that surprising.

I also find it hilarious that you think I'm "against generics" when I've implied no such thing. I think it makes a ton of sense to use quality biosimilar GH. Where did I not get that across?

My apologies, I guess I was reading your posts in the context that you had something against them or a bad experience and were generalizing all of them...

So let me get this straight though, you’re saying that some GH are more bio identical than others and assimilated better than others??

Well I would think that excipients in the GH have something to do with how someone reacts to certain GH and anything else, as in it’s not bio identical then it’s not GH...

I look up Victor Black and see what you’re talking about to see if I understand it better...
 
I ran a couple different sponsors hgh.
The first run I ran 2iu a day for 12 months. No bloating, stayed lean and vascular. Noticed results after about a month.

I just recently started running hgh from a well known sponsor and I'm noticing results 7 days in already but I am very bloated and I'm only running 4iu. My muscles seem to pop and be very full. My shoulder pain is gone and my recovery is better. Hasn't affected my sleep , no lethargy. The bloating makes me look completely different, I started taking dandelion root and apple cider Vinegar pills to see if it helps. Hopefully it will go away over time.
Might lower it to 2iu if it doesn't subside in another 7 days..

My results have been different each time with a different sponsor/ brand of hgh.
Hi

Try 12g soluble fiber a day + Vitamin b6.The b6 start at 200mg a day and work your way up depending on how your body responds.Gnc has a 200mg sustained release b6 product, it's cheap too.

Are you suggesting the to minimize bloating?

No problem, NEMSZ, I appreciate you re-reading.

The presence of excipients would be where there is a lack of purity (one "class" of potential problems with generics). An rhGH product can also contain biosimilar rhGH yet be underdosed. Then, on extreme end you have fraudulent product (the worst "class" of potential problems with anything from the black market).

The class of product you want are legitimate products which contain either: bioidentical (i.e., reference quality) rhGH [probably not worth the money] or biosimilar (i.e., differences in the precise manufacturing processes that still yield a similar molecular structure) with good efficacy [worth the money]. These processes are patented in various countries (e.g., US Patent US4124448) and would have to be licensed out for use. A lot of the Chinese manufacturers would have to develop processes that still yield a biosimilar product.

Actually have some fiber caps I forgot i had and I picked up some b6 from the vitamin shop in town. Going to try it out. Thanks

So far the bloating has gone down since I posted but it's still being stubborn on my midsection and face.

Bloating in my face drives me crazy.Let me know how it goes.

1,000 max.Slowly work your way up.
