IGF-1 goes by many names in various clinical trials and research to understand it better. Some of the names you may see in these reports include insulin like growth factor 1 as well as somatomedin C. Typically when introduced to the human body, researchers have concluded that IGF-1 binds to insulin receptors. For children this means that it is able to aid in the release of growth hormone. While for adults, IGF-1 has a more anabolic effect. That being said, in studies on IGF-1, participants have noticed several benefits including muscle growth, anti-aging properties, and a reduction of inflammation.

IGF-1, also known as insulin-like growth factor, and has a similar role to insulin in the human body and can bind to insulin receptors. It plays a role in the growth of children during puberty when produced naturally and has anabolic effects when used by adults. IGF-1 has been shown to aid in muscle growth, anti-aging, inflammation, and memory.
IGF-1 is an endocrine hormone, meaning that it assists with multiple functions which may include metabolism, movement, sexual development, and growth. When produced naturally the production of IGF-1 is stimulated by GH. It does this by growth hormone, or GH, releasing into the blood stream which then stimulates the liver into producing IGF-1. Once produced IGF-1 works in the growth of cells. Some of these cells may be produced in places like bones, liver, skin, and skeletal muscle.
The word deoxynucleic acids may bring you back to high school biology where you learned about adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. These are the four acids that make up your DNA. IGF-1 is not only known for cellular growth, it is also known to regulate cellular DNA synthesis. What is cellular DNA synthesis? It’s a process where deoxynucleic acids are linked to form your DNA.
IGF-1 has been shown to aid in muscle growth, anti-aging, inflammation, and memory. It has also been tested in assisting in diabetes patients with its ability to lower blood sugar levels and triglycerides. In terms of anti-aging, it revitalizes collagen synthesis and helps with the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Regarding muscle growth, it stimulates the muscles cells and they experience a level of hypertrophy.
