So the way to handle this would be to talk to a third party expert like Russ who is not affiliated with either company and will have nothing to gain or lose from telling you the truth. He will probably tell you to only take Human Grade IGF-1 which has been FDA approved (like at his lab) and to stay away from Research Grade anything. However, that will cost much more and may not be any more effective IMO.
However, one thing is for absolute certain: ALL FDA APPROVED IGF-1 WILL BE SHIPPED IN LYOPHILIZED FORM AND NOT RECONSTITUTED. I challenge you to find one FDA approved outfit that ships reconstituted IGF-1.
In this particular case, I feel that it is very obvious that Lyophilized IGF-1 (powder form) if superior to already reconstituted IGF-1 because all reconstituted IGF-1 was once Lyophilized. This is a fact.
So do what you will, I have put the elements of the equation out there and it is up to you to use what has been provided to you to make your own final decisions.
