Description
IGF-1, or Insulin-like Growth Factor 1, is a naturally occurring hormone primarily synthesized in the liver through the metabolism of Growth Hormone (GH) in the presence of insulin. Additionally, muscle tissue can produce IGF-1 as a response to intracellular signaling. Notably, intense training sessions that induce a burn or utilize stretch position training can stimulate the natural production of IGF-1. Furthermore, oral 17-ALFA ALKYLATED STEROIDS can lead to increased release of IGF-1 from the liver as a side effect.
IGF-1 receptors are distributed throughout the body, including muscles and various organs such as the heart, spleen, small intestines, and kidneys, with higher concentrations in certain areas exerting pronounced effects on organ function. Known for its highly anabolic properties, IGF-1 surpasses both GH and Insulin in its anabolic potency.
