How much does IGF-1 cost?

How much does IGF-1 cost?

The simplest tests are the GH serum and IGF-1 tests, which only require a blood draw. The typical cost for each of these tests is about $70 if ordered directly from a lab. Your actual costs may vary depending on how much your healthcare team charges for services, such as drawing your blood and sending it to the lab.

Can you buy IGF?

IGF-1 LR3 for sale is available in lyophilized powder form, in 1mg vials. It is only for research purposes and not for human consumption.

What is the source of IGF-1?

IGF-1 is produced primarily by the liver. Production is stimulated by growth hormone (GH). Most of IGF-1 is bound to one of 6 binding proteins (IGF-BP).

Which is better HGH or IGF-1?

HGH is generally considered to employ anti-insulin actions, whereas IGF-1 has insulin-like properties. By maintaining relatively low levels of IGF-1 and synergy between HGH and IGF-1 throughout your patients’ adult life, they may be able to live a healthy lifestyle and experience optimal aging.

How much IGF-1 should I take?

Dosage suggestion from studies agree to inject 20-50 mcg SQ/IM daily for a max of 6-7 weeks. Desensitization can and does occur around 6 weeks after initial time of use. It is recommended to take 20-40 days off prior to starting another course of IGF1/LR3 again .

Is IGF-1 good or bad for longevity?

Lower levels of IGF-1 may actually be more detrimental as you age as you’ll be more predisposed to muscle loss and bone fractures. Studies find an association with low IGF-1 and sarcopenia in older people[xxiv][xxv]. IGF-1 is correlated with longer telomere length which is an important predictor of longevity[xxvi].

What does IGF1 stand for?

IGF-1 stands for insulin like growth factor. IGF-I is the primary protein involved in responses of cells to growth hormone (GH): that is, IGF-1 is produced in response to GH and then induces cellular activities.

How is IGF-1 harmful?

The side effects of IGF-1 may be similar to those of other growth hormones. These include overgrowth of body tissues, known as acromegaly, and damage to the joints, liver, and heart. IGF-1 can cause your blood glucose levels to drop.

What is the optimal IGF-1 range?

However, research has shown that by supplementing Growth Hormone or stimulating its production with natural polypeptides like Sermorelin, which is a natural Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone (GHRH), we can restore GH levels back to the level of a 25-30 year old and reverse many of the signs of aging. Optimal Male IGF-1 Level = 165-246 ng/ml
