Package Description:

IGF-1 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1) is a naturally occurring peptide hormone produced primarily in the liver in response to growth hormone stimulation. As a research peptide, synthetic IGF-1 is used to study cell growth, repair mechanisms, and metabolic signaling pathways. It is commonly investigated for its effects on muscle tissue development, recovery, and cellular regeneration.

What Is IGF-1?

IGF-1 is a single-chain polypeptide involved in cellular growth and repair. It plays a central role in muscle hypertrophy, tissue recovery, immune function, and metabolic regulation. Research interest around IGF-1 focuses on its ability to stimulate satellite cell activation, increase nutrient uptake, and enhance protein synthesis at the cellular level.

Originally characterized in the mid-20th century, IGF-1 was identified as a key mediator of growth hormone activity. It is naturally present in circulation and binds to IGF-1 receptors throughout the body, influencing growth, metabolism, and tissue repair. Synthetic IGF-1 is used in laboratory settings and animal research to study these pathways.

Why Choose Elite Bioscience IGF-1?

With countless online sources offering peptides of inconsistent quality, choosing a reliable supplier is essential.

Elite Bioscience® provides sterile, vacuum-sealed vials of pharmaceutical-grade, 99.9% pure IGF-1, manufactured under strict laboratory standards. All batches are third-party tested for purity, potency, sterility, and contaminants, with full COAs available on request.

Our IGF-1 is delivered as a non-pyrogenic, lyophilized powder intended for subcutaneous administration after reconstitution with Sodium Chloride Injection, USP or bacteriostatic water.

Main Benefits of IGF-1 (Research Use)

IGF-1 is widely studied for applications in muscle growth, tissue regeneration, and recovery. Findings across animal, cellular, and limited human research suggest benefits such as:

• Increased muscle growth and hypertrophy
• Enhanced nutrient uptake and protein synthesis
• Faster recovery from injuries and muscle damage
• Improved tissue repair and regeneration
• Increased satellite cell activation
• Enhanced physical performance
• Support for anti-aging and cellular vitality pathways

Additional areas of research interest include:

• Neuroprotective effects
• Metabolic regulation
• Joint and connective tissue support
• Skin and hair health
• Immune system modulation

Reconstitution and Administration

Before puncturing the vial, clean the rubber stopper with an antiseptic to prevent contamination.

Reconstitute with 2 mL of bacteriostatic water or Sodium Chloride Injection, USP.
Direct the liquid toward the vial wall and rotate gently until fully dissolved.
Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or contains particulate matter.

An insulin syringe is recommended to accurately measure microgram doses.

Recommended Usage

Daily dose: 20–40 mcg

Maximum duration: 8-week cycle

Administration: Subcutaneous injection

Cycling: After 8 weeks, take an appropriate “off” period before resuming research use.

Beginners should remain at the lower end of the dosage range. Experienced researchers may adjust within the recommended limits.
