so how can you say pharm grade is different from generic? omnitrope sandoz is generic, tevtropin TEVA is generic. lets at least have some sense of the discussion if we keep repeating it over and over again.
ansomone and ********** zhongshan are pharm grade too, and generic. they are both sold overseas and as i know ********** is registered in mexico. what about genheal that is registered in most CIS countries? its being sold by public tender in CIS countries. are this all shit products? are this all bribed FDA's?
radical people are the people far from the truth. truth is making somatropin pharma standard is not that complicated neither restricted to few big manufacturer like pfizer and lilly. it can be done with a average investment of 2mil$. afterwards, the cost for maintaining monthly the factory can come up to 20k$ just for the workers and utilities (small operation). there are medium chances for bad batches (amino exchange during the reaction that is causing bad reaction at injection spot, most common problem in production) or air trapped in the reactor causing the whole reaction to be compromised. except this two instances, the production goes easily most of the time. if you calculate the whole investment and the monthly bills and also the potential risks of losing a batch (which do occure) the cost of production cannot be the one currently demanded by the market. the market demands cheap cheap cheap. still 8 out of 10 people at least demand cheap gh. there are plenty of forums that have open sales and people are bumping some shit brands. once the market will demand quality, quality will arise. saying all is shit and lets all buy genotropin is pure stupid.
one important thing to be mentioned, mg is the weight of the hormone, IU is the bioactivity. 1iu = 1iu in any place of the world. be it pakistani hgh, american or chinese. when it comes to mg, yes is true 1mg is more potent (has more IU) than the chinese one and this comes from one of the initial reactions. but in the end the chinese can make this up with the mg ratio. us & eu agreed in their pharmacopoeias to say 1mg = ±3.3iu. chinese do calculate at 2.5iu currently. there are ways to check the bioavailability etc, but all this in some other posts.
