Sorry, but I highly disagree with you about the nolvadex and vet gear. Test is test...I did some veterinary enanthate from Upjohn back in the late 80's...it was my first cycle and kicked my ass! The only bad thing about vet gear, especially what used to come out of Mexico was impurities or underdosed....otherwise...test is test.
I wonder about the quality of substances for human or animal consumption.
Let's look at this logically and take something not steroid, pet food.
Meat destined for animal food is often labelled, not fit for human consumption.
Would great quality meat be rendered into pet food?
Well it is, but you have to go to bonkers places like around Sloane Square where people have more money than sense most of the time.
So let's look at the logic of the economics.
Medical grade steroids are used clinically. Pharmaceutical companies are VERY CONCERNED about being sued, so they would have all sorts of quality, sterility and manufacturing controls. Actually, don't get me started on pharmaceutical companies, as they do all sorts of RUTHLESS and DIABOLICAL things.
What are animal steroids used for?
Yes some are used clinically in animals, but having grown up around quite a few farmers, the vet comes out, says "your cow is sick, it will cost X to make it better", and the farmer puts the cow down and sells it for pet food.
There is a HUGE economic basis to the drugs industry. There is a HUGE economic basis to the production of food, cause everyone wants cheap food.
How do you make more meat fast? Give it loads of steroids, cheap steroids.
So yes, in a certain sense testosterone is testosterone. All steroids are derived from naturally occurring testosterone, dihydrotestosterone or nandrolone.
A few manipulations of double bonds, add a hydroxy group (OH), you get the idea, and BINGO, you have hundreds upon hundreds of variations of testosterone.
However, I do not think that the quality of human or animal grade hormones would be the same.
