Two reasons that you likely already know. The first is that it is half the cost of GH if using a compounding pharmacy with a proper script. And it can be as low as 1/4 of the cost if you are going with "research only" peptides. The second reason is that if you have pituitary function, then you are having your own body release GH rather than simply substituting it through an exogenous source. That said, I'm doing 1mg whereas Nelson in earlier post noted he was doing 2mg which is what was dosed in the trials IIRC.
