IGF-1 Elevation Protocols

Meaning

IGF-1 Elevation Protocols are clinically designed regimens intended to safely and effectively increase the circulating levels of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1), a potent anabolic hormone primarily produced by the liver in response to Growth Hormone (GH) signaling. These protocols are utilized to leverage IGF-1’s powerful trophic effects on muscle, bone, and connective tissues, as well as its neuroprotective properties. The objective is to restore IGF-1 to a youthful, optimal physiological range, particularly in cases of age-related somatopause or specific clinical deficiencies. Careful monitoring is paramount to balance the profound anabolic benefits with potential metabolic and safety risks.
