IGF-1 is a highly anabolic hormone that affects numerous areas of the human body. It also shares an important relationship with Human Growth Hormone (HGH), and on a structural basis is similar to insulin. in recent years IGF-1 has become an important hormone in this arena. It is powerfully anabolic, will carry strong recovery properties and has become a favorite of many in bodybuilding circles.

The effects of IGF-1 are normally best suited for promoting off-season mass and for the physical recovery of any athlete. Very few will use this hormone in a cutting cycle, as it can have a negative effect on the individual’s metabolic rate. For the individual looking for raw size, there are a couple of solid options when considering IGF-1 use. Many will use it during their course of anabolic steroids, which will only enhance the rate in which lean tissue is built, as well as the amount. Others, and this is typically for more advanced bodybuilders, will use it during a bridge period. A bridge refers to a period of time in-between anabolic steroid cycles or full blown cycles. In this case, the individual will continue using a maintenance dose of testosterone and add in the IGF-1. Many who do this are also using HGH and simply continue it from their cycle that just ended into the bridge that just began. Regardless of your specific time of use, during cycle or as a bridge, the use of HGH is normally advised. IGF-1, while powerfully anabolic also has the ability to promote excess fat storage. During an off-season bulking stage, maintaining proper body fat levels is hard enough on its own, and it’s only complicated by the use of IGF-1. However, when we include HGH the metabolic boost it provides should be enough to keep things under control. Further, the synergy between these two hormones is remarkable.

The final effects of IGF-1 surround recovery. The hormone will improve overall recovery from training and strenuous activity, but it doesn’t end there. IGF-1 actually carries direct healing properties, not masking like a painkiller but true therapeutic healing. The use of IGF-1 can greatly reduce the total time for healing joint injuries. It has even been shown to significantly aid in the healing of tendons and ligaments. As all these areas of the body take a beating by most athletes, IGF-1 becomes extremely valuable.

Administration

In a therapeutic setting, IGF-1 doses will normally fall in the 40-80mcg ranges and may be given 1-2 times per day. This is undoubtedly a large, very large dose, and it can be hard to control for some when we consider hypoglycemia. Most physicians will not have the individual start above 40mcg and levels will be monitored closely. Dosing may be increased by 20mcg if needed but will not surpass 120mcg for any reason as this will be extremely difficult to even impossible to control regarding hypoglycemia.

In a performance setting, 50-60mcg per day is very common, but it’s also often overkill. It will not take a lot of IGF-1 to produce phenomenal results if the individual is eating enough food and using anabolic steroids. Add in the recommended HGH use with your IGF-1 and the results will be remarkable. Most individuals could easily start with 15mcg per day once per day and slightly increase the dose if needed, but this is an excellent starting point and will be all the IGF-1 many ever need.

Then we have total use. In a performance setting, IGF-1 will be used for 2-4 weeks flowed by 2-4 weeks of no IGF-1 repeating as many times as necessary or desired. Many, as briefly discussed early on will continue their IGF-1 use past their anabolic steroid cycle into a bridge phase where a low dose of testosterone and HGH is maintained. This is, however, only something the hardcore and experienced hormone user will undertake. If you are coming off cycle and entering the PCT phase, IGF-1 use is not recommended as the promotion of excess body fat will be a great risk.
