IGF-1 - A Super Performance Enhancer

There seems to be a buzz going about about a new growth hormone, it’s called Insulin Growth Factor - 1(IGF-1). Apparently this substance has been used for hundreds of years as a way to heal muscle and improve athletic performance. The reason it’s so hot now is there are rumors going around that professional super winning athletes are using it in order to improve their performance.

Being a growth hormone, IGF-1 is made to help people get bigger faster. Sometimes it is used to treat dwarfism or to help other growth related factors. The substance has even been okayed by the FDA for children and other people who can’t make natural growth hormone.

It seems like anyone can get their hands on the hormone these days. Anyone can go online to stores like nutronics labs and buy IGF-1 or deer antler velvet as it’s called by marketers. Up until recently many athletes have used the substances like this as their secret weapons. Now it’s banned in professional organizations like the National Football League.

Despite being banned by professional organizations many people use it for hobbyist bodybuilding or community sports. It works just like a growth hormone so it will help anyone to build muscle mass. Although you want to make sure you get a form of the hormone that really works. There is quite the controversy that the spray form does not really work. It is suggested that the best way to get the hormone is too inject it directly into the bloodstream. Obviously like any substance it’s all about moderation. If you use too much of this substance it will have negative effects. If you are going to try it out you will want to experiment and start slowly.

If you are considering using this growth hormone and you are worried about getting caught, then it’s beneficial to understand some of the ways professional organizations detects the substance. Essentially they will measure how the hormone affects your body rather than looking for the chemical directly in the blood stream. If you are going to use the hormone that you should stay away from the generic 29.95 versions you will see on tv or the internet. Most likely these are fake and will not get you any results. The real hormone is going to be way more pricey then just 30 bucks.

It’s also helpful to note this substance is not going to be the best for every sport. There are some sports where being bigger can actually hurt you rather then help you. For example, a swimmer is not going to have the body of a huge muscle builder. They are going to want a slim lean body so they can glide through the water.

I hope this article has been helpful if you are trying to learn more about this growth hormone. It’s not the most natural way to get bigger or stronger, but it could definitely speed up your results.
