This is good timing. I had a blood test 3 weeks ago and just got the results today.

I have been on US pharma gh since 01/11 and switched over to rips toward the end of September of this year. I started at 5iu's of rips and have worked up to 8iu's (4iu am & 4iu pm).

My IGF-1 is 643. I believe this pretty much confirms that rips are real gh.

Here's the funnest thing that happened. My doc (also on hrt) said I may consider consulting with you on your quality gh as his Elli Lilly gh was costing him a fortune (NO BS)!

It's was impossible for him to deny the number. However, I will tell you guys I am reducing my dosage down to 5iu's. My gluclose was high because of my high IGF-1 status.

I will post this tomorrow!

Thanks for the info, can you tell me what your glucose was? I have issues with high BG so would like to know what your number was, though I'm not planning on going higher than 4 iu but, still interested to know.

What was your IGF-1 on US Pharma?
I'd like to know how it compares to the
rips.

Well fuck! I just ordered blood work for nothing.

Yeah grind, if yours comes back with high IGF then I think we can put this debate to bed once and for all.

Thanks grind and transcend, getting real data here is the only way to settle this question with certainty. I'm glad to see that thus far the data supports riptropin being real GH, and extremely potent.

As SFG has said in the past, and I'm inclined to agree with, everyone who asks why they hold more water on rips than other GH, the answer is most likely because the riptropin contains 2-3 times as much GH per IU as hygetropins, blue tops and other GH brands, according to the most recent hyge bloods we've gotten to look at. More GH = more side effects. I imagine that if you took twice as much hygetropin as you do riptropin you'd experience the same side effects.

if you look way way back in this section theres a thread about blood tests & hyges. they tested to 34.8!!! which is great. Than SFG went on to say he doesnt want threads about which is better, yada, etc tec


now seeing your tests im taken back a bit. Even worried. Not sure how theres so much of a difference but results are results and you cant argue them.

First, I need to say PrivateMDlabs is the shit. I just got my lab results. I am amazed that I got them back that quick, given the fact that its a Sunday on a holiday weekend.

Also, I finally figured out how to take a scree shot, edit and post to photobucket. No more printing, edacting, taking a picture with my phone, emailing it to myself; BS.

All and all life is good.

So down to the real busiiness at hand:

I did 8iu (sub q) of Rips, three hours and nine minutes before blood was drawn. I elected to go sub q instead of IM because I have not run a GH/IGF-1 base test so I had know established protocol to follow. with that said my IGF-1 blood work came back at 533 ng/mL

This, coupled with transcend's blood test should put this debate to rest:

Yep I'd have to agree with you grind, looks like rips are real GH, or at least assertions that they don't raise IGF levels like GH should are incorrect. Thanks again to you guys for getting the tests done to settle this.
