A few threads that may offer greater insight into GammaGH vs. the "cheap stuff" coming out of China:

As far as Adaptogen N goes... over a decade of repeat buys speaks for itself. So does blood work. The last time I ran labs it boosted my testosterone 55% in just 27 days! And that was using an older formula wherein the Suma was a 20% extract (now 25%) and the Eurycoma Longifolia wasn't as strong as the Longjax brand. The Trib if I recall was a 40% saponin extract. It's now at 45%. AskMass doesn't highlight these improvements enough IMO. I only knew about it when I checked an older bottle vs. the new formula when it arrived.
Adaptogen N goes WAY beyond being a test booster though. Here's an example. In addition to getting a whopping 1,500mg of REAL Bulgarian Trib (just try finding a higher dose!), you get the following:
1.) Custom 25:1 Suma extract. This little gem is a FINE source of ecdy in its own right and the 25:1 Ultra Suma isn't used in any other product I'm aware of. I've seen ONE other product with a 25:1 extraction but I'm unaware of the quality or where they get it. Nevertheless, it doesn't measure up to Adaptogen N b/c of the other ingredients IMO. Speaking of which..
2.) DHEA - This is the "mother" hormone that MAY be converted to testosterone in the right formula. Taken in the wrong fashion, it can convert to ESTROGEN. Here's how it goes when everything works the RIGHT way:
Cholesterol>Pregnenolone>DHEA>Androstenedione>Androdiol>Tesosterone
That cholesterol as step #1? It's part of the reason lowfat diet put testosterone in the cellar. Now you know why...
Now important to point out that NONE of this happens if Leutinizing Hormone isn't there to "drive" that conversion process. That's where Bulgarian Trib comes in. You've seen the studies where Trib doesn't boost testosterone? It's because they either weren't using the genuine article and/or there wasn't adequate substrate material (DHEA) and a conversion modulator (Longjax) to convert the testosterone to free test (more on that below).
Since Adaptogen N provides just the right amount of DHEA (not a mega-dose which could convert to estrogen), you're covered. The cholesterol will come from the fat intake in your diet (yes, some saturated fats are important!) and your body will manufacture pregnenolone from that. It'll also make SOME DHEA but if you study people's lab work you'll find DHEA is often the rate limiting factor in testosterone synthesis. Thus, AN provides that little bit extra you may need to optimize the process.
3.) Longjax - This patented form of Eurycoma Longifolia is included for a reason; if maximizes FREE testosterone levels (biologically active form of test). You can have all the test in the world floating around but it's useless if bound to serum hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Longjax "free's it up" to to be biologically active. There is also evidence it preferentially converts DHEA to testosterone (vs. estrogen).
4.) Melatonin - This little baby was rated the #1 most cost/effective anti-oxidant and anti-aging nutraceutical by the Life Extension Foundation years ago. So what's it doing here? Facilitating a good night's rest by allowing you to unwind and put you into a deep (REM) sleep wherein all the other goodies can do their good work!
When you add it all up you get a test booster, adaptogen and restorative all in one little package. Here's a great way to dose it and make just one bottle last your entire Feast stage. This cycle was pioneered by a bunch of powerlifters in the mid-west, if I'm not mistaken:
A.) First 3 weeks of Feast: Does the full 3 capsule dose every night 45 min to bedtime.
B.) Remainder of Feast: Dose 2 to 3 caps Mon-Friday, take weekends off.
Like any other nutraceutical, it loses it's
perceived effect over time. By using it in this fashion, you MAXIMIZE it's value and place the product right when and where you need it (during your intense Feast peaking cycles where recovery/restoration is uber-important) and save some $ in the process.
I've used them all: Tribex, Fuzu, Tribestan, Tribesterone etc.. Nothing did me right like Adaptogen N. I just ordered the BP Mass Stack and can't WAIT to get that bottle.
Am I biased? Maybe. But I've been around the block for 25 years with these things and done my homework. Subjective notes, saliva and bloodwork do not lie. I encourage you to compare vs. other products b/c I think you'll find what I'm saying is true.
Just my $0.03.....
