Contact UsInsulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), also known as Somatomedin C, is a hormone alike in molecular structure to insulin, which plays an important role in childhood growth, and has anabolic effects in adults.
IGF-1 is one of many growth factors required for standard human development. IGF-1 is synthesized mostly by the liver but also centrally in numerous tissues.
IGF-1 consists of 70 amino acids. Similar to insulin, IGF-1 has an A and B chain connected by disulphide bonds. The C peptide region has 12 amino acids.
Usage
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) helps encourage normal bone and tissue growth and development and also has the ability to decrease blood glucose levels.
IGF-1 advances to fat cells and therefore burns fat. Subsequently, it increases lean body mass and decreases fat. These effects are desired mostly by athletes and bodybuilders. Increased IGF-1 levels are also comparable to weight gain. This weight gain is a result of lean body mass growth, not fat production.
IGF-1 is favored in the bodybuilding industry and for people who workout regularly. It helps enhance recovery time after workout and improves energy during the workout.
IGF-1 injections are common for adults and children if they have a growth hormone deficiency. IGF-1 contains many necessary amino acids that can help children who are not developing at a standard rate and supplement adults that are deficient.
Research has also shown that the anabolic effects of IGF-1 may reflect inhibited protein breakdown and stimulated protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and that this response may be caused by a direct effect of IGF-1 on muscle tissue, therefore assisting burns on the skin and other tissue abnormalities.
Mechanism of Action
IGF-1 is a hormone found naturally in human blood. Its primary function is to manage the effects of growth hormone in the body. Normal IGF-1 and growth hormone functions include tissue and bone growth. IGF-1 is formed in different tissues as a result of growth hormone in the blood.
IGF-1 promotes systemic body growth, and has growth-stimulating effects on mostly every cell in the body, mainly bone, cartilage, skeletal muscle, liver, kidney, nerve, skin and lung cells. As well as the insulin-like effects, IGF-1 can also manage cellular DNA synthesis.
Administration
Mode of Administration: Subcutaneous injection to a fleshy part of the body, typically to the stomach or abdominal area. IGF-1 can also be administered intramuscularly.
Before administering IGF-1, always be sure to use a clean and sterile syringe.
Hold the IGF-1 vial upright and insert the syringe in the center of the cap.
Draw the plunger until you have the correct amount (see ‘Dosage’ below) in the syringe and carefully remove it.
Before administering the syringe, use alcohol to cleanse the area of skin.
Pinch the skin around the area to be injected, leave about 2 cm on each side.
Hold the syringe at a 90 degree angle to your skin and swiftly insert the syringe.
Depress the plunger fully, until the syringe is empty, and carefully draw out.
Dosage
Dosage Amount: For lean muscle growth and fat loss
40 mcg - 50 mcg daily (men)
10 mcg - 20 mcg daily (women)
IGF-1 should not be injected more than twice daily
A typical dosage cycle of IGF-1 will continue for 2 to 12 weeks
Children and adults who are prescribed IGF-1 for development deficiency should consult with a care provider about correct dosing.
Side Effects
The side effects of IGF-1 can be similar to those of other growth hormones. These include growth of excess body tissue, also known as acromegaly, and damage to the joints, liver, and heart. IGF-1 could possibly cause joint pain, muscle pain, headaches and nausea. IGF-1 can also decrease levels of blood glucose, resulting in hypoglycemia. Researchers also associate IGF-1 with an increased risk of developing some cancers, such as lung, breast, colorectal and prostate.

Characteristics:
Testosterone is the prime male androgen in the body, and as such still the best possible mass builder in the world. It has a high risk of side effects because it readily converts to a more androgenic form (DHT) in androgen-responsive tissues and forms estrogen quite easily. But these characteristics also provide it with its extreme anabolic tendencies. On the one hand, estrogen increases growth hormone output, and glucose utilization improves immunity, and upgrades the androgen receptor, while on the other hand, a testosterone/DHT combination is extremely potent at activating the androgen receptor and eliciting major strength and size gains. While not always the most visually appealing result, no steroid on earth packs on mass as testosterone does.
Testosterone Cypionate is a single-ester, long-acting form of testosterone. Due to the length of its ester (8 carbons), it is stored mostly in the adipose tissue upon Intra-muscular injection, and then slowly but very steadily released over a certain period. A peak is noted after 24-48 hours of injection and then a slow decline, reaching a steady point after 12 days and staying there for over 3 weeks. Of course, most users of anabolics will not find adequate benefit in the use of this steady-point dose, so this product is normally injected once a week, making the very lowest dose higher than half the peak dose at any given time. This is roughly the starting blood level as well. A long-acting testosterone ester is a must-have in any mass-building cycle. As such this is a very decent product.
A long-acting testosterone ester may be the best for all your mass-building needs, but it's not an easy product to use. Because of the extreme length of action (3-4 weeks), one cannot easily solve occurring problems by simply discontinuing the product, as it will continue to act and aggravate side effects over extended periods. In regards to damage control and post-cycle therapy, some familiarity with the use of ancillary drugs is required before using a long-acting testosterone product. Nolvadex and Proviron will come in very handy in such cases and post-cycle HCG and Clomid or Nolvadex will be required as well to help restore natural testosterone. The frequency of side effects is probably the highest with this type of product.
While most will tell you it's a waste to not use testosterone, as it will take ages longer to build proper mass, these are all points to take into consideration. Testosterone is a product that is heavily used by beginners and veterans alike and justly so. Those who fear they may never understand the proper use of ancillary drugs may want to suck it up and invest in some propionate or suspension testosterones instead. These are much shorter acting and easier to control, but they do need to be injected once every two days, whereas this type of ester will impart great gains with a single weekly injection. Something to keep in mind.
Stacking and Use:
Testosterone is the most powerful compound there is, so obviously, it's perfectly fine to use it by itself. With a long-acting ester like Cypionate doses of 500-1000 mg per week are used with very clear results over 10 weeks. If you've ever seen a man swell up with sheer size, then testosterone was the cause of it. But testosterone is nonetheless often stacked. Due to the high occurrence of side effects, people will usually split up a stack in testosterone and a milder component to obtain a less risky cycle, but without having to give up as much of the gains. Primobolan, Equipoise, and Deca-Durabolin are the weapons of choice in this matter. Deca seems to be the most popular, probably because of its extremely mild androgenic nature. But Deca being one of the highest risks for just about every other side-effect, I probably wouldn't advise it. If Deca is used, generally a dose of 200-400 mg is added to 500-750 mg of testosterone per week.
Primobolan is sometimes opted for and can be handy since it doesn't aromatize, which will make the total level of water retention and fat gain a lot less than with more tests or with Deca for example. Unfortunately, its mild nature combined with a lack of estrogen makes Primobolan a very poor mass builder. Again, doses of 300-400 mg are used. I would suggest a higher dose, but with the current prices for Primo, I don't think it would be very popular. My personal preference goes out to Equipoise. Androgenically it's not that much stronger than Deca because it has next to no affinity for the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and is only half as androgenic as testosterone. It's twice as strong as Deca, mg for mg, and has a lower occurrence of side effects. It has some estrogen, but not a whole lot so it tends to lean a person out rather than bloat him up as Deca will. It also increases appetite, which promotes gains and improves aerobic performance, which may be wishful as testosterone normally has an opposite effect.
Of course, testosterone cypionate can be stacked with any number of compounds apart from these, but these make the best match. When stacking with testosterone, one needs to look at what the other compound can bring. Either it has a characteristic that testosterone doesn't have, or it's nominally safer. The testosterone will bring all the mass, so adding another steroid to enhance mass alone, is futile. More testosterone is the best remedy for that.
One needs to be familiar with a host of other compounds when using long-acting testosterone esters however. First of all, anti-estrogens. The rate of aromatization of testosterone is quite great, so water retention and fat gain are a fact and gyno is never far off. If problems occur one is best to start on 20 mg of Nolvadex per day and stay on that until problems subside. I wouldn't stay on it for a whole cycle, as it may reduce the gains. In terms of an aromatase blocker, testosterone is one of the few compounds where Proviron may be preferred over Arimidex. The Proviron will not only reduce estrogen and can be used for an extended time on a testosterone cycle, but it will also bind with great affinity to sex-hormone binding proteins in the blood and will allow for a higher level of free testosterone in the body, thus improving gains.
After a cycle, mainly due to the high aromatization and increased levels of estradiol in the blood after discontinuing, natural testosterone levels will be severely suppressed. This means steps need to be taken to assure the quick return of natural testosterone, or we stand to lose a lot of the gains we made while using testosterone. Since it's a non-toxic, potent mass-builder it's mostly used in long 10-12 week cycles. So some testicular shrinkage will have occurred too. People must see that HCG and Nolvadex/Clomid are essential as post-cycle therapy and that both are equally important in achieving our goal.
