With the growing success and popularity of Jintropin HGH, the problem of scam websites with false claims has surfaced. There are sites trying to bank on the Jintropin name and sending fake products to those who get caught in their web. It has resulted in many frustrated customers and failed claims. Since I too have experienced the scams related to Jintropin HGH, I have compiled the following information to help you distinguish between the real and the fake. With all the scams on the market, the only safe route to go is to order directly from the manufacturers of Jintropin – http://www.genescience.cn/ or from one of their authorized distributors.
Buying Liquid HGH for Injection
For two main reasons, it is unlikely that a liquid form of HGH can be delivered to you by postal courier – as is the standard practice when buying off the internet.
First, due to its high sensitivity towards heat, Liquid HGH is quick at losing potency if not kept at a temperature of 2-8 degrees at all times, even then becoming useless after around 20 days. Second, its sensitivity also extends to vigorous movements, such as shaking, which can shatter the fragile links between atoms of the molecule. If they put it on dry ice it is too cold, and HGH is destroyed, if they let it overheat, it is too hot and HGH is destroyed, if they shake it a lot, drop it, etc.. it is destroyed.
Even if you are planning to buy on the black market, it is recommended not to buy the liquid form because you can never be sure if it was properly stored, or if it is not expired. If you get it out of a pharmacy store or a reliable dealer then it could be OK.
HGH SPRAY AND HGH PILLS
Being a large, fragile protein molecule with a molecular weight of 20,000, HGH contains 191 amino acids in an exact sequence, with many fragile cross-linkages that give it an important 3-D configuration. Using very expensive and meticulous recombinant DNA technology, its only source is from human genes. HGH from any other source, even from other animals, does not work in humans. Hence, there is no other effective source of HGH. There is absolutely no naturally occurring plant source of HGH. HGH must be made using human genetics. The only safe form of HGH is made by splicing human genes into bacteria cells or embryonic mammalian cells, and then growing those cells in a culture media.
HGH in its true form can only be succesfully absorbed in an effective amount by the injecting of thepharmaceutical grade of HGH which is not only expensive, but also only available on a doctor’s prescription. It is important to understand that it cannot be absorbed orally, by spray or by the sublingual route. Still, I find various forms of HGH being marketed – nasal sprays, oral sprays, tablets, powders, capsules, etc. Major newspapers carry full-page advertisements for these products. These facts need to be investigated and addressed on scientific and legal grounds before believing their claims. In my opinion, indeed they are all scams.
HGH RELEASERS
The HGH releasers available in the market are primarily composed of amino acids – mainly L-arginine in large doses. A heaped teaspoon of L-arginine on an empty stomach, infact, will increase the HGH release by the pituitary gland in a young person by upto 25%. However this would happen only for a short period of time and only in those people who already have a lot of HGH made on their own and don’t need any more. It is important for you to note that this will not cause HGH to be released to a significant degree in an older person when it is needed for anti-aging. This small releasing effect is therefore, progressively lost with the age.
These releasers are also non-specific. While they claim to enhance the HGH production, they also increase the pituitary release of ACTH – which causes an increase in the adrenal cortisone production. Cortisone, in fact, speeds aging while fiving a temporary boose in energy and well-being. Perhaps for this very reason you can encounter testimonials of immediate feel-good effects of such products. This is completely unrelated to HGH.
HGH releasers have the same effect as ghrelin, an appetite stimulating peptide hormone. These releasers therefore actually increase appetite and cause weight gain.
These so called HGH releasers are not beneficial but are indeed dangerous. Some of them contain raw animal brains, found on the label listed as “hypothalamus” or “pituitary”. The theory is that they contain a minute amount of GH releasing hormone (GHRH). It is a fact that raw brain tissue is the primary cause of mad cow disease, scientifically known as spongiform encephalopathy or Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. Infact this is true for all the so-called glandular products with freeze dried brain or pituitary ingredients.
Also the effect of these HGH releasers gradually fades with time – over a few months, called tachyphylaxis.
ONLINE SOURCES OF LYOPHILIZED RECOMBINANT HGH
Lyophilized HGH or HGH as a white dry powder can be stable at room temperature for a long enough duration to be successfully transported to the end consumer, however you must be extremely cautious before buying it. Since real HGH is a very expensive medicine, it is common to find counterfeit products all over the black market. The internet too, is plagued with scammers who appear as perfectly legitimate online pharmacies, even charging crefit cards and offering prescriptions. However, it is only until you make the purchase, and then you never hear from them again. If you are lucky or inventful you might be able to buy directly from the HGH manufacturer, pharmacy or an anti aging clinic.
Another good idea is to send an e-mail to the manufacturer and they can instruct you on the legitimate and proper way to obtain their products. For buying Jintropin, the safest way is to buy directly from the Manufacturer – GenSci or GeneScience Pharmaceutical Inc.- http://www.genescience.cn/ or from one of their listed authorized distributors.
UNKNOWN HGH BRAND
Please understand that producing HGH is not a piece of cake and cannot be successfully done in a bathtub pharmacy unlike many steroids. The equipment alone costs multi millions. Any company who has that kind of money to afford the equipment will ensure a proper brand name which is recognized by the FDA equivalent of their country.
