In this insightful episode, we dive deep into Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1)—the powerful compound released by the liver in response to human growth hormone (hGH). Often called the "workhorse" of hGH, IGF-1 is responsible for driving cellular growth, repair, and regeneration. You'll learn how IGF-1 functions in the body, why it's a top performance-enhancing drug in sports (and banned by WADA), and why oral IGF-1 supplements are ineffective. We cover the therapeutic uses of IGF-1, including its impact on insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular protection, muscle mass, and bone density. We explore modified forms like IGF-1 LR3, which offer longer half-lives for extended benefit. Finally, we caution listeners on the risks of misuse—including insulin resistance and potential cancer proliferation—highlighting the importance of medical supervision when considering IGF-1 therapies.
