I think the word GENERIC is misleading to anyone buying/using these Chinese Internet GH COUNTERFEIT Products.
It makes the buyer 'feel' better about the purchase.
A
generic drug (generic drugs, short: generics) is a
drugdefined as "a drug product that is comparable to a brand/reference listed drug product in dosage form, strength, quality and performance characteristics, and intended use."
[1] It has also been defined as a term referring to any drug marketed under its chemical name without advertising
[2] or to the chemical makeup of a drug rather than to the advertised brand name under which the drug is sold.

Although they may not be associated with a particular company, generic drugs are subject to the regulations of the governments of countries where they are dispensed. Generic drugs are labeled with the name of the manufacturer and the
adopted name (nonproprietary name) of the drug.
A generic drug must contain the same active ingredients as the original formulation. According to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), generic drugs are identical or within an acceptable
bioequivalent range to the
brand-name counterpart with respect to
pharmacokinetic and
pharmacodynamic properties
A
counterfeit medication or a
counterfeit drug is a
medication or pharmaceutical product which is produced and sold with the intent to deceptively represent its origin, authenticity or effectiveness. A counterfeit drug may contain inappropriate quantities of active ingredients, or none, may be improperly processed within the body (e.g., absorption by the body), may contain ingredients that are not on the label (which may or may not be harmful), or may be supplied with inaccurate or fake
packaging and labeling. Medicines which are deliberately mislabeled to deceive consumers—including mislabeled but otherwise genuine generic drugs—are counterfeit
