IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor) is a hormone that is naturally
produced by your body from HGH (Human Growth Hormone), which is the
main hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. HGH is usually produced
during sleep or during strenuous physical activity, and is almost
immediately converted into IGF by the liver. Although insulin is
involved in IGF-1 production, HGH is the primary precursor.
IGF-1 is a powerful growth-promoting metabolite whose production
peaks during adolescence to accelerate body growth and development. As
we age, the body secretes less HGH, and therefore IGF-1. By the time a
person reaches 60 years of age, their body may produce only 25% of the
HGH levels produced during adolescence. Scientists believe that this
reduction in HGH and IGF-1 production as we age is associated with many
age-related declines in the human body, such as graying hair, wrinkled
skin, loss of sexual desire and function, decreased energy, increased
body fat, and more.
Are there any specific precautions or additional benefits I should be aware of with NOW IGF-1?
Keep in mind that IGF-1 is a hormone product. Hormone therapy is
not an exact science, and you should always consult your physician
before taking a hormonal product. Hormone therapy and hormonal
supplements affect different people in different ways, so caution
should always be exercised. IGF-1 is not a cure-all when it comes to
stunted growth or abnormal hormone production. Again, the advice of a
physician is strongly urged.
On the other hand, studies of IGF-1 have indicated it is a safe and
effective product when used according manufacturer's Suggested Use. It
has been used for years by bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts, who
swear by its results.
There is a lot of misinformation being circulated about IGF-1
currently. Many sources claim that IGF-1 supplementation is only
effective when administered intravenously. NOW IGF-1 utilizes new
liposome technology to facilitate absorption of IGF almost immediately
after administration. While capsules, tablets and liquids pass through
the digestive tract, which can reduce the amount of IGF-1 absorbed,
lozenges and liposprays are absorbed through the mucosal lining of the
throat almost immediately without loss of the active ingredient.
Lozenges and liposprays cannot take the place of doctor administered
hormone therapy, but they are effective if used properly according to
manufacturer's directions.
