Peptide IGF-1
25 Sep 2017
Description
IGF-1 - insulin-like growth factor in the human body is a hormone mediator of GH (growth hormone) and its metabolite (i.e., a decay product).
Responsible for the normalization of tissue growth, cell division and development. In its composition - 70 amino acids. IGF-1 receptors are present in almost all human cells. Linking to them, the hormone has a powerful stimulation of rapid growth and cell division. In addition, it increases the lifespan of each individual cell - which allows us to speak of a powerful anabolic effect. In bodybuilding, insulin-like FR-1 successfully replaces GR, since it has the same effect - it stimulates growth:
- muscles,
- ligaments,
- cartilage,
- Skin,
- nerves,
- Bone tissue.
Its relevance is explained by the fact that it is absolutely high-grade and can be used to build muscle mass and power indicators independently without steroids or other means.
Dosage and administration
- Most effective when injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly.
- For injection, the drug must be previously diluted in saline, sterile or bactericidal water.
- Ready-made stable solution can be stored: 24-48 hours (if using sterile water) and 5-7 days (if you take saline solution).
- Bactericidal water will allow storing the solution for 3-4 days.
- The optimal is a daily dose of a hormone in 1mkg for 1kg of weight. It is recommended to divide it into 2 doses. So, an athlete weighing 100kg needs to take 2 injections of 50mkg.
- The first injection should be done in the left, and the second - in the right side of the body or vice versa.
- A dose of 0.2 μg per 1 kg of weight makes it possible to obtain a minimal effect.
- Optimum duration of insulin-like growth factor 1 - up to 6-8 weeks. Be sure to pause between the courses - a minimum of 3-6 weeks.
- IGF-1 should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature of 2-8 ° C for a year.
- Very rarely, but it can be stored in a dark dry place at room temperature for up to 30 days.
Experience of usage and feedback
The only serious drawback noted by athletes in the reviews of IGF-1 is the relatively low stability of the finished solution, which is why it has a very short shelf life. However, this problem is easily solved by diluting small portions of the drug simultaneously. At the same time, the result achievable with IGF-1 injections is no worse than on the course of growth hormones.
