When HGH is referred to by the color of the vial caps it's usually generic growth hormone made by various labs in China. There are not more than a handful certified labs, capable of producing real 191 amino acid sequence somatropin. The necessary lab equipment to produce the HGH is a multi million dollar investment - unreachable for a "bathtub" steroid lab. Furthermore, the required know how includes genetic manipulation of E.Coli bacteria which then secrete the human version of growth hormone. When somatropin is harvested, the bacteria have to be filtered out, which is a very difficult undertaking.
So which color of HGH tops to buy?
Trying to distinguish the generic HGH by the color of the caps is like trying to judge people by the color of their jackets. The color of the caps can freely and easily be switched from batch to batch. This results in endless bodybuilding forum discussions where people report good and bad results from blue tops, green tops, red tops, yellow tops, etc.
If buying generic HGH, the only way to really make sure that what you are about to use will not bring damage to your body is to lab test it beforehand. There are two types of tests you can do. Either a complete lab analysis of the substance (done by a lab capable of performing the test) or using your body as a guinea pig, injecting a full vial and performing a HGH/IGF serum test. See the "Real of fake HGH? How to test it?" page for more info.
Beware of the 192 amino acid sequence GH (Somatrem)
It is less difficult (and cheaper) to produce the 192 amino acid mimic, which is technically not really somatropin. The difference is 1 additional methionyl amino acid attached to the sequence. While generally the effects of using the 192 aa somatrem are similar to somatropin treatment, the different molecule can bring about serious health issues. It is possible that the body's immune system detects the somatrem as foreign and attacks it. Because the foreign 192 and body's own 191 amino acid hormones are very similar, it can lead to the body attacking it's own HGH as well. This autoimmune condition would leave a person without growth hormone - which the body needs for regeneration, metabolism and various important functions.
Beware of the Low purity HGH containing bacterial residue
It is very improbable for a small lab to be capable of extracting the somatropin without bacterial residue in it. Injecting a low purity HGH it often produces painful red welts around injection spot - which is a good indication that the body's immune system has detected the bacterial residue as foreign and is mounting an attack. Potentially this can also lead to the body rejecting it's own naturally produced growth hormone which then leads to serious health issues.
History of colors of the HGH tops
Before the existence of generic HGH labs in China, the yellow tops were used by Jintropin (GeneScience Pharmaceuticals), blue tops were used by Hypertropin (Neogenica Bioscience) and green tops were used for Igtropin (IGF-1 long R3).
In 2007, both Jintropin and Hypertropin switched to using green color caps. Igtropin (IGF-1) was renamed to Revitropin and the color of caps was changed to blue. A few years later Revitropin was renamed to IGF3 and has since been using the red caps.
Brand name embedded in the cap
Some labs have periodically used the name of their brand printed on the vial caps. This has lately been abandoned by most because it can easily be copied and also limits the company's ability to distribute their products under OEM brand names.

HGH is an essential hormone that is made naturally in the human body. Healthy adolescents and young adults produce a lot of HGH but the amount that the body makes tapers off as we age. It is common for athletes to use HGH to speed up their recovery time, allowing them to work out harder and more often.
Many older people supplement HGH in order to stave off the effects of aging, keeping themselves feeling fit, healthy and young for longer. Sporting and anti-aging uses of HGH are considered to be off-label, but there are many specialist clinics that are happy to advise on those uses.
[h=2]ORAL HGH VS INJECTIONS[/h]There are some companies that promote oral HGH products, but these products are a waste of money. The only effective way to take HGH is via injection. Human growth hormone is incredibly volatile.
When you take HGH pills, the human growth hormone in the pill is broken down in the stomach, and only a miniscule amount of it, if any at all, will make it to your blood stream.
Even if you do get a small dose of HGH from each pill, you have no way of regulating the dose. In contrast, when you inject HGH you have full control over the size of the dose and you know that the dose is delivered properly.
[h=2]WHAT THE COLORED TOPS MEAN[/h]One way that HGH suppliers differentiate their products is by the color of the tops. This is why you will often hear gym novices asking “is blue top HGH good?”. There was a time when you could differentiate between HGH products by the color of their top, but today the market is so saturated that there are many suppliers that do not adhere to the standard conventions about the different colors of top.
Essentially, the only thing that you need to know is that the best type of HGH is somatropin – that is “real” HGH.
This kind of HGH is no longer controlled by one company, so you can buy generic variants of it. Other types of HGH-like drug are available, but these are widely considered to be inferior to HGH.
Most blue top HGH products are generic somatropin that is made in China. This type of HGH is broadly considered to be a very good brand, known as 192aa. If you can find this version of blue top HGH, then it is well worth buying.
Yellow top HGH is rarely seen on the market these days. Before generic HGH laps existed, yellow tops were used for Jintropen, which was made by GeneScience Pharmaceuticals. During this era, Neogenica Bioscience used blue tops for theirHypertropin brand, and marketed another brand called Igtropin with green tops.
Igtropin was an IGF-1 long R3 version of the hormone. Today, you will not find those variants on sale with those specific cap colours, from those manufacturers, however. This is because in 2007, Juntropin and Hypertropin switched their cap colour. Those brand names now use green caps.
Igtropin has been re-branded twice. In 2007, it was renamed to Revitropin and started to use blue caps.
That re-branding did not last very long; a few short years later Revitropin was re-named to IGF3 and it is now sold using red caps.
Red top HGH is typically a brand that is known as Nordictropin, while brown top HGH is branded under the name Hygentropin. This variant of HGH is gaining popularity, but most people prefer generic Somatropin. To add to the confusion, however, some vendors sell Hygentropin in 8iu vials with blue tops.
As you can see, the best choice is to read the label, and not simply assume that “blue top is best” when it comes to HGH.
