+ 1 Whats the difference

ad

So I saw the post earlier with the amps from Germany and that everyone should know you can get the same brand of amps from Pakistan, Spain, and Turkey.

It's the same company but why the different quality of product?

The German products I feel are better than the Pakistan ones (so did the other member that had ordered them). So my question is why a huge pharmaceutical company that owns other pharmaceutical companies produce different levels of quality in their products depending on where they come from in the world? The same product branding whether you buy it in Germany Pakistan spain turkey.

Shouldn't the quality be exactly the same coming from the same company. Or is there something that I'm missing and there is a perfectly simple reason for it.

Please help me out with this question that makes me wonder WHY?

What is the base product that you are concerned about? (Without mentioning the brand or manufacture). If you've said, I missed it and am sorry.

Don't be fooled because it says it's pharma or it is a brand name. The fake and counterfeit drug business is a multi billion$ business. Much of this is state or gov sponsored. And yes, it gets into the supply chain and sold through pharmacies. Pakistan is known for this along with many other countries and all over Europe. This isn't the U.S you're talking about and you're not shopping walgreens.

As far as diffrrences in legit brands, that also holds true many times. There are different qualifications from region to region and it is almost impossible to make one drug that meets those qualifications in every little shithole corner of the world.

Think of it this way. An auto manufacturer makes cars for the UK and for the US. Same car, different emission standards for each country. Both cars are red. Don't be fooled, you won't be able to drive one of those cars in California (which has the highest standard in the U.S). VW just recently got got busted for falsifying tests regarding this same subject.

Everybody uses the terms anadrol, winstrol, primobolan, halotestin, equipoise, andriol, sustanon, etc, as generic terms, but these sre actually registered trademarked brand names.

When a ugl makes a version of these and calls it "deca", they are in fact just creating a generic version of these brand named drugs. It may have the active ingredient and be accurately dosed....or not.

The counterfeit market sets out to creste a product that can be passed off as a legit brand name product with correct packaging, dosing and ingredients. (same ingredients the ugl are using by the way). A passable copy cat.

Then you have counterfeits that are fake. No active ingredient or something substituted such as test so that the user will notice some kind of effect.

Both counterfeits and fakes wind up in pharmacies all over the world. There is plenty of info out there to substantiate, & if you don't believe it, walk into a pharmacy in a 3rd world country sometime. I knew a family that owned a string of pharmacies in mex. You would NOT believe the stuff that they do. But that's what happens in countries where crime and corruption permeate every level of society, law enforcement, and government.

Not beeng racist but whatever comes from, pakistan, Afghanistan, iraq etc, I just dont trust, I've tried enogh amps of both, German ones are better in feeling and everything, question for you guys, if it's pharma the amount of oil should be exactly the same right? I mean it distributed in amps by million dollar machine, then why with the pakis when you pull them you get 0.9cc, pull the Germans and get 1.2cc, also noticed that pakistani oil is thick, I'm my opinion German are even thicker, I use and 18 gauge to draw germans, took me only a 22 with pakis also German took clearly longer to pin, took me 3 and half minutes before it was all in, pakistani took about 1 minute and a half, Germans snap like butter, to open pakis you defenetly need an p opener, you realize how many times I've opened one them and I smashed the top part and some glass went in the bottom of the amp wich makes unusable, I only need 500mg of germans, need at least 3 amps of pakis of week 750mg a week, to get same results as Germans at 500, to finish presentation! !!! Not seeng the Arab wrightings just makes me feel better...

The stuff from Paki that I had was pretty damn good. Haven't tried the same stuff from Germany so I can't say which was better but I would have a hard time believing I would be able to tell a difference. It is pharma for a reason -- quality control measures to ensure a consistent product dose and quality, regardless at which lab it is manufactured in.

The only way to satisfy your curiosity would be to send samples of the same product from different labs/countries to get tested analytically. Can't go off of just feel.

This is a better post of what I believe to be true...

How are they different?

Guess I'll have to get some Germany and see whats up.

quality control, in countries like turkey and pakistan I dont see the fda breathing down their necks making sure the facilities are up to par, pakistans getting blown up all the time i think most of the focus is on that and making sure they keep the country and economy afloat not that the large amount of pharmaceuticals where 99% are going to the black market are 100% up to all fda and USP standards. Whereas a 1st world country like Germany should have much tighter quality control standards. I remember seeing bloods on 750mgs of sust amps from Pakistan and based off the bloods they were greatly underdosed. Could they have been fakes? Sure something like 70% of the pharm grade stuff on the black market is fake so its not out of the question so you guess is as good as mine.

But we also need to keep in mind these are not all that complicated chemicals. If they are licensed to use the brand name they are probably at least attempting to maintain standards. I also would suspect even them countries have some entity in charge of making sure their pharma products are safe and up to snuff. But honestly I really wouldn't know.

What about the wealthy families in those countries who get the best medical care available? I would think any medication they are receiving would be very up to par. You're correct about alot of the pharma stuff being fake on the black market but if it really was purchased at a legit pharmacy I would think it's 100% real. I don't know though and unfortunately any of us living in the USA probably will never have the full truth. This is a really interesting topic, I hope more people chime in here.

If it is a brand from a legit pharmaceutical company then I would beleive the product would be exactly the same regardless of which lab in which country it was produced. The big multi national companies will set up shop (labs) depending on numerous different factors such as cost of labour/equipment, availability I draws, legacy of where they find they have facilities due to M&A activity etc. The big boys are regulated and their production facilities are subject to inspection so I don't see them getting away with producing a different quality product depending on country where the lab is located. Clearly they want to produce the cheapest possible product at the end of the day as this is what determines their margins and revenue but given the nature of their business they can't really afford to have quality compromised. If they do the whole brand would loose its license.

I wonder how much of this is cultural bias? What I means is one expects a product from Pakistan to be worse than the one made in Germany therefore it is.

Would indeed be interesting to take these three products for an independent test to see the content, purity, oils, solvents etc. My money would be on them all being virtually identical or at least not that much different that a user would notice.

bolt781's picture

I would'nt imagine the quality would be any different. It could be circumstance. The regimen during a certain run as opposed to another...

bolt781's picture

I was getting at the regimen from cycle to cycle(run) might be off...not the gear.

KAM1314's picture

X2 big guy...Isn't it amazing how every source has the best gear when that person is bulking and not starving themselves

bolt781's picture

Exactly...alot of times what is off in a cycle is the diet and lifting. There is a thought that AAS get you huge just by taking them.

It's all about money.

My guess is that while they are the same medicine, they are produced in a "pill factory" lab somewhere close to where they are being marketed/sold. The paki stuff was probably worse quality because they have less stringent pharmaceutical production standards/practices, and bottom line its cheaper for the pharma companies to make sub-par product where the regulations are lax.
