[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 139186, member: 15043"] Since pregnyl is from urinary HCG, and compounding pharmacies use recombinant HCG (basically HCG from a lab, I think), I would have to assume this is the reason. There have been studies showing that there is no difference in efficacy between the two, but as we all know, studies can be flawed. Plus, I’d have to look into who is funding each particular study, which I’m way too lazy to do lol. I’m not saying that the studies are wrong, I’m just saying that my anectodal experience says otherwise, for whatever reason. The only other thing that I can think of, has to do with the bacteriostatic water used to reconstitute the lypholized powder. With compounding HCG, it’s always been straight bacteriostatic water for me. With Pregnyl, it comes with a 10ml vial of water mixed with a few other ingredients. Just noticed that the actual HCG has some other ingredients in it as well. So it could possibly have something to do with these extra ingredients mixed in with the HCG, as well as the solvent used to turn the powder into liquid. [/QUOTE]
