>If HGH & BGH are identical, couldn't HGH be obtained from the same veterinary sources that industrial dairies use? However, isn't that synthetic? I've been warned about syth hormoes in general. --Russ
Hello! I hadn't really thought about it. I assume it would still cost a lot more that getting bovine colostrum. Also, the bovine colostrum contains the natural digestive inhibitors to get it to the intestines where some of it can be absorbed. The Veterinary BGH would probably have to be done by daily injection; which I don't think that most people would want to do. Also, the bovine colostrum contains a lot of other growth factors that may actually end up being more important than the Growth Hormone (IGF-1 for example), that the Vet BGH would not contain. And you're right, sometimes the sythetic produced product has problems. Either it is not chemically identical to the natural product (natural vitamin E versus sythetic vitanmin E, for example), or the sythentic product contains traces of harmful compounds left over from the manufacturing process.
