    IGF-I a must in PCT

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have been doing alot of research on IGF-I and i have been thinking of using it on my PCT. I cant see any reason why not too the benefits seem endless. what do you guys think?

    IGF1 is a peptide of substances identified as growth factors. It is a highly anabolic hormone released in the liver as well as in peripheral tissues such as skeletal muscle. In the body, IGF-1 is released in response to the presence of Growth Hormone (GH).
    After intense resistance training, the body experiences a surge in GH and IGF, and this is one way that new muscle is built. Although GH is considered to be highly anabolic, in actuality, IGF-1 is suspected to be responsible for the primary anabolic activities of GH.

    IGF-1 builds new muscle tissue by promoting nitrogen retention and protein synthesis. This causes the growth of muscles through both hyperplasia (which is an increase in number of muscle cells) and mitogenesis (which is the actual growth of new muscle fibers). Thus IGF-1 not only makes muscle fibers bigger, it makes more of them as well!

    IGF-1’s effects are not limited to building new muscle, however. It has a potent effect on lipid (fat) metabolism, and helps the body burn fat at a significantly elevated rate. In addition, IGF-1 is both a neuroprotector and neuropromotor, which improves mental functions such as reflexes, memory, and learning ability. IGF is also important for production of connective tissue and insuring proper bone density.

    I absolutely think that IGF is a good thing to throw into your PCT. Less cortisol and a somewhat anabolic effect which will help you suffice until you get your junk back to normal.

    So does one NEED GH to convert into IGF-1? Or both GH & IGF-1? Or simply go straight to IGF-1.

    I would definetly throw IGF into your PCT not only will it help you build muscle fast, but it will definetly help you get rid of some unwanted fat as well. cant go wrong with the stuff. Check out AR-R they have a real solid product. You could even try the combo pack they are promoting right now. IGF-1 Lr3/MGF COMBO

    GH does convert to IGF.

    Or you can use IGF-1, which is newer and cheaper. Better? Not sure.

    But I have seen both being used together.
