OK, I've been trying to dance around a few issues, which if addressed, all require lengthy responses (something I try to avoid). All I want is to help people and if that's not happening, then I lose interest real fast. Anyhow with that said,...you mentioned:
Exactly
I have had fantastic results with blues , greens and yellow
Results, including strength/potency are extremely hard to detect when comparing blues/yellows/greens. Yet it can be done (explained below).
But to compare these generics to even GenSci, is a waste of time as there simply is no comparison. First, No, none of these generics originate at GenSci as some suppliers claim. That sales pitch is ridiculous and any China resident knows better. Of course, US citizens buy into this hook, line and sinker.
With that said, next, an understanding of GH is required. For instance, you said,
There is no way I would pay 400 for same just to get name brand.
This is not the same = you are not simply receiving the choice of paying for a name brand, yet having the alternative of lower priced, similar quality GH. Yes, GenSci is FDA approved, but GenSci's GH and other non generics far exceed and surpass in strength and as jm425 suggested, an IGF test is not the only means to compare! Let's begin...
1. HGH is a very
powerful protein! Why does this matter? How about an example...if I were to sell you a bottle of soap and you decided to shake it up,...what would you think if that shaking produced no bubbles? What if you shook the bottle up vigorously, over and over again and still no bubbles? Pretty weak solution, right? I'd even be considering if it was even soap?!?
This rule applies when it comes to proteins! It's been said, where there's smoke, there's fire! Well, where there's bubbles, there's protein! The flip side of the coin is also true,...No bubbles = No protein!! No protein = No HGH. There is no way around this fact. This is also the very reason why IF you are not careful with GenSci's
real HGH, bubbles begin to form in the vial. Does
anyone experience this problem with any of the generics?? Now I'm not talking about Hygetropin or GenHeal = legit laboratories, but not FDA approved. However blue, yellow and greens are hell to produce bubbles! Give it a try if you think I'm off on this. I've seen them all...well, let's just say I've seen enough. FYI - I've never been able to produce more than a few (larger size) bubbles in some of these generics by simply giving them a good shake! Nope. However there was one exception - One day, a vial fell from the top of my fridge and impacted on my tile - it smacked so hard I thought it broke. Of course I was shocked to see when I picked it up, that it had numerous bubbles (large and small),
however sadly they quickly broke up. The cool thing was, this event offered proof that the vial was not void of protein. HGH?
An brief explanation of the necessary bubbles HGH
must have: When proteins exist and are introduced to water/air, stimulation of the solution will cause protein molecules to cluster around newly formed air pockets, thus creating bubbles which remain intact and not quickly/easily dissipate.
Now here's one important point: More protein = more protein molecules, capable of creating more lingering bubbles in varied sizes, even frothy. Less protein = LESS bubbles. No proteins = No bubbles.
Bottom line - by visual examination, we can conclude the existence or even the lack of proteins existent in a particular solution, i.e. HGH in this case.
You also made another good point,
If you get great results with the generics, it makes no sense to spend that much more.
2. Some say they've received nice results using the generics! Great! At least that tells us GH or something similar (IGF-1 even) is in our solution. FYI - IGF-1 is cheaper to manufacture than HGH and will also raise IGF levels (if this is how you chose to test). However just because we're receiving GH benefits, doesn't mean our GH is potent. Low doses of GH will produce results.
In fact, while most of these generics contain HGH, in many cases, there's only trace amounts. Am I saying if I shake up one vial and it produces a vast amount of foam like bubbles and then shake up another and it only produces half the amount, is the second vial 1/2 the potency? Well, all things being equal and as I've understood it, basically YES. Think of it like this (I believe I have done my research properly on this part), one protein molecule is capable of clinging to and retaining an air bubble for a specified duration. While two protein molecules may either cluster to one bubble OR may decide to cling to two different bubbles. This sequence multiplies with the addition of protein, i.e. more protein = more bubbles capable.
We may think we're saving a buck or two per IU, but are we? What if it takes you twice as much to receive the same benefit? What if it's worse?? My research with both script and generic has seemed to suggest for every 1IU of prescription GH I take, 3 to as much as (approx.) 10IU of the generics (depending on which) are required.
So I ask you, are we really saving anything?
3. What I've hated the most about generics is -
JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE WE INJECTING?!?! What's most bothersome to me is what's left lingering afterwards! Good brands, not subjected to numerous fillers, merely take a swirl or two (IF ANY) to dissolve. Yet the generics -- take about a minute or so of swirling. My problem? Just what is this stuff that didn't dissolve? Now if you got the answer, then have I got something to sell you!
On the other hand, I can tell you what it is not! It is NOT GH protein and that's where you lose me. I'm tempted to create a video showing what is be expected upon reconstitution of pharm grade GH's.
I'll end with this - if you can get FDA approved or a known legit brand of GH for a buck or two more per IU, just the peace of mind (knowing what you're putting into your body) is worth it. Course, as I said, by sticking with generics you're probably already paying way more than you think.
