IGF-1 - the Benefits of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1

IGF-1 Builds Muscle
Some bodybuilder's are saying they have put on up to 20 lbs of muscle mass. There are no independent clinical study results to support this claim, but the evidence is increasing. Some say they have dropped 5% body fat in only one month of therapy, while at the same time increasing their strength and lean muscle.

Dr. Di Pasquale, who is an expert in anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing compounds believes that HGH taken with IGF-1 works better due to the feedback mechanism between the growth hormone in the pituitary gland and the IGF-1 in the liver.

He notes that growth hormone causes the release of IGF-1, but when levels reach a certain point, the pituitary gland ceases to release HGH. There is a delay, however, in this process which means that HGH levels increase at night and IGF-1 levels increase during the day. Bodybuilders are taking both together in order to receive the best possible benefits.

The Effectiveness of Homeopathic IGF-1
Homeopathic IGF-1 also works in many different areas of the body to facilitate and improve cellular performance. A recent independent double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study demonstrated effectiveness in the nervous, reproductive, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal systems.

Specifically, homeopathic IGF-1 improved energy levels and physical performance, and it improved respiratory conditions and relieved symptoms of PMS and menopause. It also relieved muscle and bone aches and pains, joint stiffness, inflammation in the body, improved mental concentration and clarity, and positively affected appetite.

Increases in lean body mass have been reported. Homeopathic IGF-1 balances weight by helping the body to achieve its ideal weight, whether that means losing fat for people too heavy, or gaining lean muscle for people too lean. It is believed to bring aging, resting cells back into a balanced state.

The Human Body's Growth Factor Army
IGF-1 is only one of the body's many growth factors that are now being identified, isolated, and cloned using genetic engineering technology for use as drugs. Eric Dupont, Ph.D., says that HGH is the general and IGF-1 and growth factors are the foot soldiers." IGF-1 and growth factors function similarly to hormones, however hormones usually send long distance messages and IGF-1 and the growth factors usually send local messages.
