To be clear, you're not discussing stocking the actual product, Increlex, correct? You're talking about a product that you'll attempt to have clients believe will be on par with Increlex...as many have done but none have been successful.We are looking to stock pure igf-1 API (increlex),would anyone interested?
rhIGF-1 and rhIGFBP-3 are produced by two separate E. coli strains: one containing the human gene for insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), the other containing the human gene for insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3). IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges and a molecular weight of 7649 daltons.
There's no money in offering the pharm grade product, Increlex. We've had vendors pick up a kit at a pharmacy in Turkey and then show us all the receipt and ship the product to members.
The deal with this way of doing things ensures the product is real...unless its a counterfeit product.
There is also a limited supply. The vendors who have done this have done it as a way to gain trust. Did they mark it up. I don't remember and don't care.
The point is I believe my fellow members who posted before me may be of the understanding that you are talking about the actual product, Increlex. A product brought to the world by Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
Every Igf-1 product, no matter how "Pure" the vendor claims it to be has always been a let down. Its going to be Research or Media Grade and is going to suck.
The price here in the USA for 40ml of Increlex is $60k plus or minus a few hundred bucks depending on the pharmacy used. That's the cash price.
The reason its so expensive is that there aren't any generics yet. The company has a patent on the drug. Once the patent expires and generics can be produced we'll see prices less than we see today.
Its prescribed to pediatric patients ages 2 to 18 yrs of age. Its why there aren't boxes of it being offered around. Parents are going to see that their children get treatment.
