How can you raise IGF-1 levels naturally?

Is there a way to influence your natural IGF-1 levels to go up naturally?

Drink milk!

Casein and lactose intolerant. Any other ways?

There are many ways such as exercising and particular diets which all effect IGF levels, however the extent of naturally risen levels is nowhere near like the effect one can achieve by injecting synthetically produced compounds such as HGH. Perhaps trying to rise your IGF naturally over an extended period of time would make a difference but this would certainly be a lengthy process.

You may be interested to know that the reason I ask is because IGF-1 is an identified cure in mice for a condition called Rett Syndrome, which my daughter has. I am trying to learn everything possible about this molecule, naturally and synthetically.

We are ordering the test to check her levels along with her zinc levels as I understand low zinc causes low IGF-1 levels.

Does dextrose in PWO increase IGF-1 or just insulin ?

Anymore insights would be great.
