| Substance | Class | Top risks | Street price |
|---|---|---|---|
| GHRPs & GH Secretagogues | Unscheduled — 'research chemicals' | All are 'research chemical' grade unless pharmacy-sourced: purity unknown; Water retention, carpal-tunnel symptoms, insulin resistance with chronic use | ~$15–$40 per vial grey-market |
| Somatropin (Human Growth Hormone) | Rx-only; Schedule III/IV equivalent in most regions | Counterfeit rate near total — independent tests find most 'HGH' is hCG, IGF, or nothing; Real GH at abuse doses: insulin resistance, carpal tunnel, organ growth (acromegaly features) | ~$2–$10 per IU grey-market |
| IGF-1 & MGF analogues | Unscheduled — 'research chemicals'; IGF-1 is Rx | Hypoglycemia — IGF-1 pulls blood sugar down hard; dangerous in diabetics; Theoretical but serious cancer concerns — IGF-1 feeds tumor growth | ~$30–$80 per vial grey-market |
| BPC-157 | Unscheduled — 'research chemical', not approved for human use anywhere | ZERO human clinical trials — all human use is anecdotal self-experimentation; Unregulated synthesis: purity, sterility, and actual content unverified | ~$20–$60 per 5 mg vial grey-market |
