    I really don't think there is any meaningful way to quantify the numbers.

    if its not pharmacutical then it is a home brew basically.you can brew it yourself,but your assuming the powder you get is pure...stick to pharm grade and dont take the chance...there is a reason why that sh!t is so cheap

    Everyone talks bad about homebrew gear, but making your own, I hear no more horror stories than with any other gear. Some people are just conceited pricks, I think. They talk it down like the homebrew is generic, even though the gains are the same as human grade. Some people's kids, I swear.

    what do you think pharmaceutical companies use? yes, they also 99% of the time get some of their crutial materials from jackie chan or whomever in china.

    Only difference is the level of quality control and testing imo. But some of the top homebrewers (ug labs) go the the extra lengths to rival the big pharm companies

    If the powder source is legit then there are no worries.......... Human and Vet grade gear is faked all the time too.

    dont get me wrong, i have no problem with home brew, as far as i know i may be using it right now. i was however suprised at the level of chemistry skills. alought of these people have, shall we say braun and brains, wow. and i wondered how much it acctully happens. sorry if i sounded derogitory by calling then home brew, i simply didnt know what else to call them. and to tell you the truth i wasent to bad at chem. myself in the day and am asking these questions to asses availibility to try my own hand at it.
    thank you for your time
