Synthesis of HGH vs peptides

[Myostatin]

I've heard a lot of debate about whether or not peptides like follistatin and IGF-1 can be real @ the price that they're going for at some of the research chem companies. HGH is a 191 aa sequence and can be bought for < 2 $ / I.U. - since an IU is about 0.33 mg, we're talking ~ 6$ / 1 mg of HGH.

IGF-1 is a much shorter amino acid sequence, so why would it be surprising if it could be sold for a price in the ballpark of hgh, assuming it was being synthesized / sold on a large scale the way hgh is? Is there some difference in synthesis methods?

Follistatin is longer than Hgh at 288 amino acids (I think), but is also much more expensive then IGF-1 so again this doesn't seem particularly hard to believe.

I was thinking the exact same thing myself when all the shit kicked off but decided to stay out the debate for the most part. There may be more it than that but to me what you say is spot on imo

This has also crossed my mind. Makes sence to me, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to the story.

Well looks like we'll have some answers shortly with the lab testing under way in any case....

that would be great!

Pretty sure there is a bit more to it than that but my understanding on how a any of them from insulin to HGH to folli is made once you have the very expense equipment to make it and the set up to do it the making of it part should not be that expensive.
