Everybody speaks about GeneScience
Jintropin and its quality, but their main
technical man left GenSci a year ago.He still
owns 6% of the company,but he reportedly
left due to a dispute. He has since started
–producing HGH generic powder,which is
the correct 191 amino acids growth hormone
(somatropin), although it is made without
GMP license. This individual is selling the
technology and powders to many people,
and subsequently there are many new brands
CHINESE
GROWTH HORMONE
BY RONNY TOBER In the last summer issue of Body of Science
we published an extensive article about growth hormone. On our
forums there is a lot discussion on the brands, the prices, and the quality
of GH, especially that of Chinese origin. Generic Supplements, a
Dutch underground laboratory, had done several analyses through us
to find a constant and reliable API (raw powder) manufacturer.When
they asked me to try and find a laboratory that was able and willing to
analyse complex peptide hormones, because they wanted to analyse a
generic Chinese GH version, I was very sceptical. From the research of
the previous growth hormone article I knew that GeneScience had the
patent in China for the manufacture of GH by secretion technology.
And this method is the only one to produce 191 amino acid GH with
high purity.When they offered us a sample in January 2006,we took
it, and were very curious to find out the content.We ended up being
greatly surprised by the results.
28 Voof HGH now in circulation. Much of it
makes use of this legitimate powder,but are
all the products made of it of acceptable
quality? The answer, of course, is no.
The key problem with HGH is packing.
It cannot be packed in a kitchen. It cannot be
packaged in a simple lab with a basic clean
room or iso9001 (enough for tablet production)
climate system. It must be done in a very
specific controlled area with the right
machinery.Otherwise, the powder, even if it
is good itself,may degrade and cause welts or
injection point problems when administered.
The powder cannot sit for a long time when
exposed to air, even the small amount
trapped inside a vial when producing it.The
problem with a GMP license in China is
that it is not centralised.Every province has
its own SFDA GMP personnel.**********,
for example, has a real GMP certificate,
which can be checked on the SFDA website.
Chinese FDA allows only 8IU, so that would
be the approved item.A form of**********
is made with 10IU, but it is produced for
export only without SFDA approval. This
goes for all Chinese manufacturers.
So with all these different product and
regulations, how can you tell you have a
quality HGH product? One way to find out
if the powder is correctly packed is to pay
close attention when you first add the dilutent
to the powder vial.When you pierce the
needle (a small insulin needle is preferred)
through the rubber septum, the water should
be sucked into the vial without the need to
push the plunger.This is because it was properly
packaged without air, but a low-pressure
vacuum,inside.It will literally suck the diluent
in to fill the void. If you need to squeeze the
syringe to inject your liquid in order to get
any inside, it is not a good sign. It probably
means there is air inside the vial, and your
powder has been degraded to some degree.
On the forum these kind of issues where
heavily discussed and we decided to perform
more analyses on Chinese growth hormone.
These are the most common:
• Generic blue tops
• Kefei blue tops
• H Y G E T R O P I N (Figure 1)
• Getropin
• Brown or yellow tops
• Jintropin
