IGF-1 Hormone: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and How to Buy
IGF-1 stands for Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, a key hormone in
the development of children. It has anabolic effects in adults
and is important in the development of children, just like
insulin. It is a single polypeptide chain amino acid with 70
residues, and its major site for its production is the liver.
In the liver, Growth Hormone (GH) stimulates the production of
IGF-1, which continues being produced all through a person’s
lifetime, with the peak period being puberty. In case of a
deficiency of GH, there’s an automatic deficiency of IGF-1. This
can be controlled using viable supplements.
Peptide therapy, in combination with other hormone treatments,
can elevate the body and mind. Although peptide use in
anti-aging methods is new, the results are overwhelmingly
positive.
The safety of IGF-1 is sometimes questioned, but this hormone is
very safe, especially based on the fact that it is produced in
the liver. Also, the fact that it consists of 70 amino acids
makes it a key component in living a healthy life.
Optimal IGF-1 Levels
In adults, the levels of IGF-1 are most optimal in the range of
200-300 ng/dL. These figures or reference values come in handy
if you have to receive a supplement of IGF-1. Bodybuilders or
those trying to lose weight can use supplements of this hormone
at the right dosage to achieve their body goals or treat
deficiencies, as the case may be.
IGF-1 Uses
Some of the reasons why Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 is a big
deal, or its advantages include:
IGF-1 is used as a diagnostic test, where low levels depict
growth hormone deficiency and high levels depict acromegaly.
Sequential measurement of IGF-1 can help manage several
pituitary diseases, undernutrition, and problems associated with
growth.
Patients with Laron syndrome (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1
deficiency) can be treated using supplementary forms of the
hormone that have been synthesized in bulk recombinantly from
both yeast and bacteria.
IGF-1 deeply influences bone development both in childhood and
adulthood
IGF-1 may also:
Facilitate protein synthesis in the body
Channel fat to be used in energy production and regulates how it
is being stored in the body, enabling weight loss
Improve the body’s nerve tissue characteristics of regeneration
Up regulate ligament strength and anti-oxidant uses
Increase the amount of organic tissue in muscle cells, leading
to bigger muscles. This is its use in bodybuilding
Help fight autoimmune diseases
Prevent heart disease and plaque build-up
Improve the regulation of blood sugar
Help in supplying the essential and non-essential amino acids
you will otherwise not get in food
All these benefits are noticed only when the drug is not abused,
so always see your doctor.

Side Effects of IGF-1
While on growth hormone therapy, your doctor will have to
monitor certain parameters from time to time, such as;
cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels, and bone density, to
always make sure they are always healthy.
Since IGF-1 is similar to insulin in terms of molecular
structure and even function, its presence in the body can alter
how the body reacts to insulin responsible for regulating blood
glucose levels. An untreated deficiency in this growth hormone
can lead to osteoporosis and high cholesterol.
Despite the high effectiveness and efficiency of the IGF-1, it
still has a few side effects, which are fortunately not very
serious.
Joint pains
Muscle pains
Swelling of some tissues
Headaches
Hypoglycemia
Nausea
Increased predisposition to some common cancers
However, most of these symptoms will only occur if you take the
supplement higher than prescribed doses. This leads us to
discuss dosage.
IGF-1 Dosage
In men, it is advised not to exceed 40-50mcg of the IGF-1
injection. For women, it shouldn’t be above 20mc, and it can be
administered twice daily. Since it has a long half-life, it
shouldn’t be injected above two times, especially if you use the
IGF-1 LR3.
On workout days, the injection should be administered pre and
post-workout. On non-workout days, however, it can be
administered at any time of day. Administering it at the same
time every day Is highly recommended.
A dosage cycle will typically run for 2 to 12 weeks. It is
advisable to start with a lower dosage and then add as time goes
by. Bodybuilders and those not known to IGF-1 have no problem
being on the high dosage side of life. If IGF-1 is administered
to you to treat deficiencies, do not hesitate to see your doctor
if you have any questions or concerns.
If IGF-1 levels are too high or too low at the end of the dosage
cycle, you can adjust the dosage levels accordingly depending on
what problem you are trying to solve. Always stay within the
reference range and consider your age, fitness level, and other
factors before deciding on a dosage.
How to Buy IGF-1
Apart from the natural Insulin-like Growth Factor produced in
the liver, synthesized IGF-1 made in huge amounts from E. coli
and yeast by recombinant technology can also work just fine.
IGF-1 can only be purchased using a prescription from your
doctor. Online providers like Evolve Telemedicine have IGF-1
available, and it can be shipped to you once a prescription and
purchase are confirmed.
Peptide Therapy
While IGF-1 is frequently prescribed, peptide therapy is also
effective. Peptide therapy uses amino acid chains to communicate
with the body to produce or release growth hormones. This
process causes the body to naturally produce growth hormones and
increase IGF-1 levels, making it a safer treatment. An Evolve
Telemedicine physician can prescribe peptide treatments once a
patient’s blood test and lab results are reviewed. Speak with a
patient care team member to learn more about the process.
Getting Your Blood Tested Before Treatment
Before treatment, getting a blood test is highly recommended for
the patient to receive the safest and most effective treatment
plan. You will find a check of IGF-1 levels in a full hormone
panel managed by a qualified Evolve Telemedicine physician and
hormone therapy expert.
This blood test is used to:
Help diagnose growth hormone deficiency (GHD) or growth hormone
excess.
Evaluate pituitary function.
Monitor the effectiveness of GH treatment.
Besides checking IGF-1 levels, this insightful blood test will
also analyze:
Total Testosterone Standard
Free Testosterone Standard
Estradiol standard
Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Prolactin
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH)
TSH, Free T4, Free T3
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S)
Lipid Panel – LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, Ratio
HDL/LDL
CBC with differential
CMP-14
HBa1c
Conclusion
Like every other drug or medication, IGF-1 should be taken under
strict advice from your physician. Abusing the medication,
especially by overdosing, causes a few debilitating side
effects. This hormone has so many important functions in the
body, and its importance can’t be over-emphasized. Make sure you
get professional advice before you use the IGF-1 supplement, and
always revert to your doctor in case of any complications or if
you have any questions. Remember, health is wealth!
If you have questions about IGF-1 testing or would like to get
started with hormone treatment, then
