One of the benefits of Hgh therapy is that it triggers the production of IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) in our body. IGF-1 is a very important part of our body as it stimulates cell growth and multiplication, prevents cell death and promotes healthy cells.
IGF-1 is a polypeptide protein hormone similar in molecular structure to insulin. It has a molecular weight of 7649 daltons and consists of 79 amino acids in a single chain with three intramolecular disulfide bridges. Produced primarily by the liver as an endocrine
The cells of almost all the parts of our body especially those in muscles, cartilage, bone, liver, kidney, nerves, skin and lungs need IGF-1 for their growth and development as well as cellular DNA synthesis.
Since, the production of IGF-1 is stimulated by growth hormones, deficience of IGF-1 can occur due to undernutrition, growth hormone insensitivity, lack of growth hormone receptors, or failures of the downstream signalling pathway post GH receptor including SHP2 and STAT5b.
IGF-1 can be tested by taking a simple, inexpensive saliva test. So, they can be used to test the Gh levels of our body because Gh is volatile and very difficult to test for.
No wonder, the market is flooding these days with IGF-1 products and Hgh products claiming to enhance the production of IGF-1 in our body.
