The generic vs pharma GH discussion

I am afraid I have used Perplexity in private tab or whatever, as I can't find that thread in my list.

I doubt this help finding that paper, if What I (think) to remember was:

- I looked into how to detect possible differences in pharma vs China rHGH
- Perplexity's answer was the 3D structure of the molecule, which led me to the term of "folding", I was previously unaware of.
- it also led me to different kinds of analysis than HPLC-MS, namely CD (I think...)
- the paper talked about comparing rHGH from Chinese facilities and Western ones.
- That the paper was rather recent, likely 2018 or later.
- It had authors with Chinese names, but there might also have been Western names on it. I just remember that, because my first thought was this was a doctored paper by the Chinese, but after a first glance it seemed legit.
- It might have been in relation to administering rHGH to children, but I could be mistaken, as my today's search results often had that as a focus.


I will keep looking through my browsing history, but I use so many devices and browsers, this will be like finding a needle in the haystack...

Maybe the above recollection will help to locate that paper, at a first glance it seemed like a key answer in the question of Pharma vs Chinese rHGH.


Sorry, that is all I present for now.

Well at least now we know it's an indisputable fact that misfolded GH is what causes cloudy GH

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

therefore 99.99% of GH vials contain good GH

and sending a vial in for NMR without knowing if it's gonna be cloudy upon reconstitution is pointless so how's that gonna work, specifically?
I don't fold my clothes and it's not cloudy.


Just saying
 
Was it one of these?


Compares Chinese pharma vs Norditropin.

Nope. Growth velocity is the ultimate clinical endpoint but this study was comparing structural characteristics of the GH molecule (pharma vs UGL??).

Now I'm kinda thinking there wasn't an actual study, only a Perplexity answer mixed around in his brain with some stuff he read on here (no offense banana man).

NMR is really expensive and imo what's the fucking point?

No offense taken! That very well might be the case, though I found this thread only a day or two ago, and I looked into that stuff maybe ten days ago. Would have kept notes, had I known this might be a groundbreaking finding, LOL.
But I was just bored and decided to find some proof, that Kurt Havens is making unsubstantiated claims regarding Serostim and Chinese rHGH...
My entry point for the search was the use of Manitol vs other sugars, I only later learned about misfolded rHGH as a possible explanation for Chinese one not being as effective.

What seemed clear to me though is that his reasoning for using a different sugar as binding agent (or whatever the proper term is?!) is bullshit, but again, I didn't take notes why exactly, and will therefore refrain from talking out of my ass again!

I will try to find it again, but unless I will post a link - consider it a figment of my AI fueled imagination!

Speaking of Kurt Havens. Claims a client had his kidneys wrecked due to Chinese HGH. I think he is mispronouncing Poloxamer 188 and claimed it was the cause.

I thought Chinese HGH only had manitol added ...

1.32 creatinine? fuck thats nothing.

"starting to go up" where is the rest of the data or why cant he present a line graph to show a trend? all from HGH? so many other factors could be involved.

For a PHD candidate this is pathetic.
 
What's your thoughts re: account farming on the AAS forums?

Be specific.

Are you talking about people who join other boards with a different handle and try to remain unrelated from their other accounts?

Does this matter: malicious intent vs "just trying to start over" ?

Yeah, good point. Intent so important as well as context I have to think.

What's your opinion? For an entity with non malicious intent or good intent, do the ends justify the means?
 
Try 18ius of setostim and 18ius of underground GH and you will see what happens to your physique.
Shit, some of these guys pulling 600-700 igf1 numbers on very minimal doses of ugl hgh, i am not one of them , i could only imagine the comparison like you said,
 
Creatinine is nearly useless in bodybuilders, unless it registers clearly in the renal failure range, because of high muscle turnover and nearly universal consumption of multiple daily grams of creatine. That's why cystatin-C is a far superior marker, in almost every case the eGFR will e significantly higher using cystatin-C versus creatine.

In my field where we administer potentially renotoxic contrast agents for scans, < 1.49 is considered 'normal', 1.5 - 1.99 'borderline', and >2.0 'no go' where contrast injection = high likelihood of AKI.

Obviously most important thing in maintaining renal health on PEDs is blood pressure control and hydration. Beyond that SS-31 (elamipretide), SGLT2 drugs i.e. empoglaflozin, and astragaloside IV are all beneficial for long term renal health.
