Does anyone have any information on a woman taking Xentropin. I had a doctor mention administering it to me through Bio Identical Hormone Replacement therapy. It supposed to help gain muscle, shed fat, increases sex drive and tons of other things... He said it is an oral form. How do I know if it is legit?

First, why is your doctor suggesting this? Age (i.e. post menopausal)? Hormonal problems? (It is usually given to older adults or those with a Growth Hormone (GH) deficiency).
Xentropin (GHRP-2) is a GH precursor. It is a legit 'medication'. As well as increasing GH in the body, it elevates IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-5 (Bowers, et al., 2004; Wideman, et al., 2000). There are quite a few studies out there on it, if you do some research (link to clinical trials:
GHRP-2 Clinicals).
It will help "gain muscle, shed fat, increases sex drive and tons of other things", PROVIDED that your diet and exercise is correct, though; it won't be a magic pill (or strip, in this case) that does everything without effort on your part.
