    Exclamation Anyone using IGF-1 for their joints?

    Is anyone using IGF-1 for the stimulation of new cartlige, or using it to fix their joints? If so has it helped?

    Cheers

    According to Hookers profile on IGF-1 it heals joints like nothing else, is it true?

    if hooker says so then there's a good chance that it's true. deca works well too though.

    Remember his profile is on IGF-1 not LR3 IGF-1 which is what we use

    But they are essentially the same, the main difference is the half life of the peptide - being LR3 is over 8 hours.

    So, has anyone had experience using IGF-1 LR3 to heal joints?

    Actually, I think long IGF could make sore joints even worse for a while.... kind of like GH does. But over the long haul I think it could have some benefits. I seem to remember someone saying that injecting IGF directly into the joint worked the best, but that isn't something I would attempt to do myself.

    My joints are quite bad because i've been on letro for so long. When I started igf-1 it made them a lot worse. Felt like I had Osgood-Schlatters all over again (it's a disease tall kids get when they're going through a growth spurt, when you walk down stairs it feels like your knees are gona give way). Seems to be okay now though.

    That's normal.HGH does exactly the same thing to users(especially first timers).In simple terms,it's your tendons growing that create the soreness.Around week 4-5(on HGH) it seems to go away for most.

    I've read Hookers articles and profiles.Although he gives refferences,most of what he speaks about is formed from his own oppinion.Don't take what he states in his articles as medical fact.They are biased oppinion on his behalf.He's a good writer though,and puts his oppinion and experience out there for everyone to digest.

    so...what you guys are saying, is that your joints hurt more for a few week because your tendons are growing. But then it becomes better, as it reapirs your joints?

    You see my muscles grow rapidly, but my joints seem to take their time. So I guess it's safe to say that IGF-1 LR3 does help the joints?

    Oh, so that's the reason for the sore wrists and fingers as well? Tendons are connected to the bones so they must be pulling on the joints as they grow or get thicker? Wow, that's some cool stuff. Genetic altering.

    HGH has made my joints kill me. I guess I started out at to high of a dose. I have droped the HGH dose down to 2 IU's and am now running R# IGF-1 so I will let you know if my joints get better.

    I've found that HGH is better bro.Main reason I say that is you are on a long time and allow the HGH to repair and grow your tendons over time.
    With IGF,you're on and off in a flash.You get a spurt of growth for 1 month and it's all over.

    That's very common bro.It's your tendons growing and strengthening.

    I guess it would be just like growing pains when you were a kid? I remember getting some joint pain in my legs when going through growth spurts when I was a teen. I'm sure that is more from linear growth but the tendons and ligaments are doing the same thing with the natural high level of GH.

    i thought....
    ligaments connect bone to muscle
    tendons connect muscle to muscle

    Deca is a very strong anti imflamatory so depending on what is causing the soreness it could help.

    Both wrong, tendons attach to the bones at the periosteum via the muscle so its muscle - bone
