The Insulin-like Growth Factor (IGF-1) is one of the endocrine hormones that is produced in the liver. The release of this hormone increases in the presence of Human Growth Hormone. Numerous cells throughout the muscles of the human body are equipped with cell receptors that have a high affinity for Insulin-like Growth Factor. This makes this hormone one of the best growth hormones and a facilitator of general cell growth which it does by targeting different specific tissues and in more autocrine cell communication processes, it facilitates cell division.

BENEFITS OF IGF-1

Some Benefits of the Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 and some of the reasons why it has substantial advantages include:

It facilitates protein synthesis in the body.

It regulates the storage of fat and channels it to be used for the production of energy. This results in a noticeable fat loss.

Promotes positive effects on metabolism; increasing lean body mass and decreases fat

It increases the regenerative properties of the body’s nerve tissues.

Upregulates anti-oxidant benefit and ligament strength

It boosts hyperplasia in muscle cells, which leads to fuller muscle tissues.

Optimal IGF-1 and growth hormone levels are crucial to bone development during childhood and throughout adult life.

DES IGF-1 is a shorter version of the base IGF-1 chain. This variant of IGF-1 is five times more potent than the regular base IGF-1. It has a half-life of about twenty to thirty minutes which indicates that it is a very delicate chain. The administration of DES IGF-1 should only be done exactly where you want to experience muscle growth. DES IGF-1 has a higher ability to stimulate hyperplasia in the muscles than IGF-1 LR3. In conclusion, this variant works best when used for site injections and not overall muscle growth.

In addition to these functions, DES IGF-1 is known to bind to receptors, in cells, that have been deformed by lactic acid. Lactic acid is produced in elevated amounts during training and vigorous activities. This characteristic of DES IGF-1 allows it to attach to mutated receptors which signal tissue growth even during training activities. DES can be used more frequently and for a longer time than IGF-1 LR3.
