    IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)

    A hormone mediating many effects of growth hormone in the body.

    Definition

    IGF-1 is referenced in the context of CJC-1295, which sustains elevated GH and IGF-1 levels for extended periods due to its DAC technology. IGF-1 is a downstream mediator of growth hormone's effects on body composition, tissue growth, and metabolic function. Both CJC-1295 and Ipamorelin protocols aim to optimize IGF-1 levels.
