There is a new interview I saw with the Janoshik fella, the scientist who tests gh, peptides and steroids in the Czech republic all the UGs use. He is used for quality control by governments, real drug manufacturers who want outside testing of their products so you know he's legit. He said he tests 2000 glp-1 products alone each month, he's so busy he doesn't actually run the machines himself at all just oversees the lab. Anyway he comments on "generic" gh and says most of it EASILY qualified as "pharma" quality. For example, pharma standard requires a 96% pure product and most generic is at least 97-98% pure and has low dimer count. So this expert says it's a myth that on one side you have pharma and on the other side you have this generic that supposedly isn't the same thing. But the idea persists that nothing voming out of China is as good as "pharma" also forgetting China makes labeled pharma GH which is used in medicine in China, and also can be found on the black market like Jintropin. Everyone thought Jintropin was inferior "generic quality." The US government didn't, US pharma companies didn't and the US put pressure on China for rhe mass exportation of their competing product and it was mostly shut down. Many coaches in the US are in the business of selling for example very expensive "Genotropin pens" their clients are required to use. "If no pharma GH like Geno then no GH at all" they say
They say there is fairly little completely bunk GH on the market and you are likely not coming across it if you've done even a little research on suppliers, according to Janoshik. Also says GH is very stable and is generally not degraded in transport according his testing.
For sure today, I haven't used GH in over 10 years. I think it was more common to get bunk gear/gh 10+ years ago. There is too much money in it today and it's not too hard to test it. Plus with the forums and social media, it's so easy to spread news if things go south with a source.
I believe a good UGL produces gear that is on par with pharma if not stronger. 100%
It's just so easy to produce these days.
In fact, last year I stopped my TRT script because i can get a vial of UGL Test for $25 from a source i've used for over 10 years, without the hassel of dealing with a Doc. I do the bloodwork myself and keep my test levels on the high end of normal. Can't say I would ever know if i was using pharma or UGL test at all.
I do see an Endo once a year just to get his opinion, but nothing has changed at all.
