Some days ago I mentioned that QSC’s HGH was probably bunk because my IGF-1 levels came back only in the medium range. After doing some digging and talking with a few knowledgeable guys, I realized that HGH can “hit” everyone differently...and that isn’t always reflected accurately in IGF-1 bloodwork.
I also reached out to Dr. Dean for his input, and he suggested doing a GH serum test to assess the quality instead. The result came back at 40.1 ng/mL, and according to Dr. Dean:
So overall, it seems like this batch is relatively good quality. I also excluded the possibility of 40.1 ng/mL being this high due to GHRP spikes, because GH result drawn ~2.5 hours after a SubQ shot aligns with the expected peak and magnitude of real somatropin, not with the short, earlier, and smaller spikes from GHRPs or GHRH analogs. In other words, the timing and size of the spike fit genuine HGH and are inconsistent with GHRP/CJC mimics.
And yeah, I know; the only truly accurate way to verify it is through Janoshik, which I might still do. Just thought I’d give you all an update.
