have you ever wondered why GH is so expensive and why very few companies make it?....very complicated shit ..
MOD, I think your a cool guy, this is not a flame, just a little 4-1-1 for ya.
Last I checked HGH was made by the same rDNA replication process carried out by bacteria that insulin is made by. That being the case, the cost of manufacture on an equally large or small scale would be identical. The reason it is so expensive is because there isn't a lot of medical use for it.... at least not when compared with insulin. People NEED insulin, they don't normally NEED HGH. So, this brings about several things.
-Greater demand, greater supply, overall lower prices.
-Greater demand, and people would throw fits if it was a $400 a month medication. Insurance companies would demand an explanation for pricing. HGH doesn't grab an insurance companies attention as much because less people need it.
-Lesser demand versus a minimum company profit margin per product produced equates to a higher per unit price to compensate for the lesser demand.
Sucks 4 us...good for the company who makes it, which is all they are concerned with.
