IGF-I Axis Support

Meaning

IGF-I Axis Support refers to clinical and lifestyle strategies aimed at optimizing the function of the Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) axis, a critical pathway downstream of Growth Hormone (GH) that mediates anabolic effects throughout the body. IGF-I, primarily produced by the liver in response to GH, is essential for cellular growth, tissue repair, and maintaining lean body mass and bone density. Supporting this axis involves ensuring adequate nutritional intake, optimizing sleep quality, and incorporating resistance exercise to promote healthy GH secretion and hepatic IGF-I synthesis.
