From what I can see at this point in the history of anti-aging, it is by far on the rise. And the hot to trot country that is certainly jamming it down our throats is China. Lets face it, they have the largest population, the most cities with 1+ million people in it, and a very large supply of the holy grail of products, Human Growth Hormone.

It seems that China has found its mainstream money maker in the Pharmaceutical region of Anti-Aging. And why not? Ads pop up all over the place for keeping your youth, companies advertise to cease or slow down aging, and it has become a billion dollar a year industry.

We have seen a handful of brands that have come out of The Peoples Republic of China... Jintropin, Ansome, Hygetropin. Which ones are the best ones? Who is supplying REAL product to us? With this industry on the uprise, and the sales to continue to rise, it is certainly a very cut throat business. And if you think every manufacture over there is monitored, think again. Due to the amount of business Human Growth Hormone produces, China has found a way to manufacture this item any which way it can. And so due to this scenario, it leaves us that shop from China's district to always do one thing - Trust your brand, and trust you SOURCE.

This leads me into a brand of HGH from China of course, coming out of the city of Guangzhou. The manufacturer is Gemstone Pharmaceuticals, a somewhat newer company, producing their own 191 amino acid sequence human growth hormone (identical to human body's own HGH). called NIperTropin™. This particular HGH is commercially prepared from synthetic somatropin and it is the most common injectable HGH. Nipertropin™ is only manufactured by Gemstone. Somatropin is produced by recombinant DNA technology and it refers to the growth hormone. NiperTropin™ is marked as one of the most potent brands of HGH on the market today. It is created by Secretion technology which is the same method used by US and EU HGH manufacturers like Serono, Genentech, Eli Lilly,..

Now I have visited China many times, and I have been to a handful of the Pharmaceutical companies out there, big and small. I have seen the underground shops that are able to produce HGH without the monitoring of the Chinese governments. How was I able to make my way into their facilities? Business. The Chinese are all about making money, probably more so than any other race I have yet to encounter. Not a bad thing, but it does lead you to analyze who you do business with and most importantly, how. It seems Gemstone Pharamceuticals is a company that think outside the box. And it is not certain if they will ever make a big splash in a share to compete with the big boys of HGH, i.e. Jintropin, Ansome, etc. What can be said is that due to the crackdown of what is being imported into many different countries throughout the world, its anyones game. With a recession upon us, its a wonder how no one company out there in the world of Anti-Aging is consolidating or merging together to become stronger. And why should they? Here is a billion dollar industry built on two things - Vanity and Insecurity... And that is recession proof.
