In the heat of the talk regarding the use of Human Growth Hormone or HGH as a performance-enhancing supplement, China revokes the license of one of its more popular HGH brands, Jintropin.
Jintropin is manufactured by GeneScience Pharmaceuticals. It is a synthetic version of HGH, which the body naturally produces in high levels until a certain age. For the most part, Jintropin is prescribed to treat . It has been widely controversial, however, like other HGH supplements, in its role as a bodybuilding aid. Due to its notorious imprint and the United States’ strong revolution against dope, Jintropin was recalled from the American store shelves in 2007. From then on, distribution and acquisition of the drug is illegal not just in America but also in Canada and other parts of the world as well.
The US government demanded no less than USD2 million to compensate for the distribution of Jintropin into their shores via the Internet. Although the Chinese government refuses to take responsibility for Jintropin and other performance-enhancing medicines getting into the American territory, it has taken the initiative to revoke the license of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers involved in such a business. It has particularly named GeneScience Pharmaceuticals as one of the many whose license to manufacture, market, and distribute Jintropin and similar drugs were cancelled.
What is Jintropin?
Jintropin an is mainly effective in reconstructing damaged cells and raising one’s cell count. Due to such function, it is found useful in building muscles, reducing fat, and generally busting the ugly aging signs. Then again, such benefits come with serious and real dangers.

Most of the time, Jintropin being a dangerous compound is taken out of equation allowing those who want to take advantage of its benefits to misuse the drug altogether.
The Fight Against Performance-Enhancing Drugs
It cannot be stressed enough that the demand for Jintropin and similar performance-enhancing drugs is growing continuously amid the government’s efforts to regulate their distribution and use. The best reason seen for this is the image that Hollywood celebrities impose. But anti-doping officials are not giving up. They are committed to enforce the rule of law regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs tightly, especially in areas such as the United States where abuse is widespread.
A worldwide campaign is ongoing, informing the public of the possible side effects of Jintropin and other performance-enhancing drugs misuse. This is done in the meantime we are awaiting of stricter measures to be implemented. Until such time, we can only hope that illegal use of anabolic steroids such as Jintropin would not continuously spread life-threatening health risks.
