Looking for advice from transitioning from pharma grade HGH to generic

ad

Never tried HGH, but as I get into my mid-30's I'm moving in that direction. Right now there's no way I can afford pharma grade stuff, so my plan is to just get 36 IUs of quality HGH, get a sense for what 2-3 IU a day feels like and then try to match that with the generic I also ordered. Anybody else had success with this method?

Also, are there non-pharma grade HGH labs with some degree of quality control? Or is everything non-pharma just the same cheap stuff with a different label?

Viagra generic also working good. Owning a patent does not mean quality.

I did both generic and Pharma grade. Is source is consistently well, generic saves lot of money but with pharma you have 100% satisfaction. You will not have to worry about impurities and contamination with pharma. Generics are also good but safe reliable and consistent.

theres a difference between generics i can assure u, some give me terrible water retention, and some barely, i think its about Dimer and purity, look for generics with good purity % and low to none dimer

Purity/contamination and consistency are most important factors using geenrics.

I have used many iu of both. You definitely will notice the difference or at least i did. I see many think GH is quality if carpel tunnel sets in quickly it keeps them from sleeping. I personally feel the opposite. I’ve use 72 iu Pharmas and had zero carpal tunnel but had amazing results in conjunction with test. I’ve used many generics had horrible carpel tunnel and all the expected sides but nowhere near the results I had with pharma. I feel what BJ said is accurate.

72 iu in a week? So 10-ish iu per day. That's a lot. It's funny because many are saying a good UGL can match Pharma. Or if you would use 2 iu / day pharma then 3 to 4 iu / day UGL for the same positive effects. But it's the side effects that seem to add up with the UGL compared to pharma. I'm a few weeks into my current cycle which has no HGH in it so i'm just kinda doing my research since I know in the near future I'm going to try a it.

I never said in a week. If you know gh then you know who the brand is based on my 72iu comment. I don’t think we can name brands. Read the rules I did but maybe I’m wrong. NO UGL matches real Pharma. Whoever says this is 100% WRONG

Yep, I admittedly haven't tried it and am researching it. Thanks for posting.

The real question should be do you really need GH? For the results to me I would rather do a very calculated AAS cycle. If money is no issue than GH is a nice addition but if money is an issue do a nice cycle of AAS. Remember more isn’t always better. You should post your stats and goals along with diet.

I was thinking of trying this method as well. I've heard (not here) that non-pharma HGH (even from a good source) isn't same as pharma. This is why I love this forum. Rather than one or two peoples own personal option you get a general consensus. Just takes a little digging and reading. I very much appreciate all the experience in this space.

The 191 amino acid chain we know as HGH doesn't care if it was produced by Pfizer or an underground laboratory. There are some generic sources out there are as pure as pharma-grade. The difference is, with pharma grade, you know you're getting a high-purity, legitimate product. In other words, you're paying for that peace of mind.

I am all for the peace of mind especially with hgh.

Here is some advice:

Don't

Don't even waste your money on buying pharma grade hgh. You will not be able to make non biased comparison. HGH is subtle and takes months to see results. You won't be able to miraculously notice results in several weeks. You'll notice side effects that'll dissipate over time. I don't even notice the increased appetite, pumps or carpal tunnel syndrome anymore. I've been on hgh for a year. Find a reputable generic source and stick with it.

I respectfully disagree with this - I have taken many different types of GH from Pharma all the way back to the old hyges of ~2011. I can also say from my experience, I have never gone over 2 or 2.5iu Pharma per day, but could always tell within a matter of days (and certainly by weeks end) that it is legit just from the vascularity standpoint in the forearms/biceps, but 0 negative side effects like you get with most generics.

good generics, on the other hand, have similarly given me the vascularity early on - but also the CTS, water weight and headache (which I assume are all related) among other things. don't get me wrong I have had potent generics in the past that gave me great results, but I also ran higher doses (~4-5iu/ed).

I have found that while Pharma is undoubtedly more expensive, I can use a lower dose (even 1.8iu/ed, 5 on/2 off) and still get great results without worrying about legitimacy and the annoying side effects that come with most generics. the price for 36iu of Pharma is not that much more expensive than 100iu reputable generic (maybe even cheaper). 100iu generics use to last me ~1.5 months, now I run the 36iu Pharma 5 days on 2 off which lasts exactly a month at 1.8iu per day and am much more happy with the modest but steady and certain results.

Open your eyes read the reviews here than you don't have to use your method.
I think you will be happy same like your wallet.

I think that method will be biased because starting any gh generic or pharma from my understanding will cause the severe side effects in the beginning. Why not start with genetics and then a month in run the pharma at same dose to see how your body reacts if differently?

There are a lot of reviews on here for "non-pharma grade". Im sure you wont have a problem finding them. You came to the right spot.
