Yeah man. I work for a supplier that sells both types now, so I feel I am at more liberty to give my true opinion.
As long as these Rips from HK stay the way they are now.....I have no desire to run pharm grade GH unless it costs $2/iu.
I am going to try the Nord pens....just because everyone speaks so highly of them. But other than that, I have no desire to pay a 400% markup for a label.
GH blood serum levels don't fucking lie...If you buy pharm grade GH you are paying for a label, and peace of mind knowing you are getting exactly what the label says, and nothing more or less. Which is DEFINITELY worth something...I just don't like when some people act like anyone who buys generics is retarded...the idea of that has been proven false by members here with bloodwork...over and over again.
Now...my opinion and a question. The rips test...from HK and TP are the only generics that test out with any consistency. That's not my opinion, that's a fact. HK also sells hyges. Ask HK and he will tell you that his rips are more consistant.
With that being said, the rips test high, but they come with what some call "ridiculous" water retention that you don't get with pharm grade gh. As a matter of fact guys that take high dosed of seros, nords, omnis(10-12iu's) talk about waking so ripped every morning no matter what they eat and drink that they feel and look kind of flat. Slin takes care of that but leads me to ask the question......why? WTF is in rips that causes the water retention that pharm grade doesn't?
I'm listening to guys say they would only run rips if they were competing(and couldn't afford pharm)because they could stop 2 weeks out and shed the water. They would not choose rips if they didn't have a target because they say u really only truly see what the rips have done when u come off? If they want to stay "on" they would choose hyges from HK because the water doesn't come with hyges.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you said a "400%" markup? You don't mean markup from the retail price to the black market?
What's funny about the Black Market is that price is set by what the Market can bear...what folks can/will pay. Without insurance a 126iu kit of Serono Serostim is about $2,500. Not gonna happen on the street. Right now I know of legit sources for 126iu sero kits that are asking and getting $650 for that kit. Seros are the most abundant(what you're most likely to see)
Stretch and the price he's asking for the pens is very competitive. I don't know of anyone lower or legit sources offering right now. When I do the price is a bit more.
I'll qualify my statements with the fact I've never used rips or other generics. I've only used seros and am at this time once again on but only at 2iu;s/ed dowm from my regular 4iu's. My real first go was started about 6 or 7 months ago but came off after my head injury and with what came as a result. I was out of the gym for about 2 months. I had more expenses had to allow my issue to go to another to enjoy as I needed the cash. Things have loosened up a bit where I can justify 2ius/ed again.
Another thing to keep in mind, unless your rips are coming from 1 of 2 sources you can't be certain they are the real deal. Getting burned once closed the price difference.
