Mechanism of Action

MGF is a splice variant of IGF-1 produced locally in muscle tissue in response to mechanical stress. It activates satellite cells (muscle stem cells), initiates muscle repair processes, promotes muscle protein synthesis, and enhances local muscle recovery. Unlike systemic IGF-1, MGF acts locally at the site of muscle damage.

Primary Benefits

  • Activates muscle satellite cells
  • Enhances local muscle repair
  • Promotes muscle hypertrophy
  • Accelerates recovery from training
  • Supports injured muscle healing
  • Increases muscle protein synthesis

Common Uses

  • Post-workout recovery

Side Effects

  • Injection site pain
  • Localized swelling
  • Hypoglycemia risk
  • Fatigue

Contraindications

  • Active cancer
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Diabetic without medical supervision
