IGF testing...

[ramacher]

I am curious because I am getting a physical at my local health center and getting everything checked including test and IGF. For someone who is 22 years old what would be a baseline or normal IGF I should expect in ng/ml? Also if you take gh, the only real test that works every time is the IGF test and I am curious what a generic blue top from china would result in and pharm grade US would be in ng/ml. I am doing a research paper in human genetics on IGF and this would be a good opportunity to get your feedback.

Thanks,

a little trivial trivia: the strangest thing happens when I copy and paste the numbers....it is really *** and not 779.... but it will not allow the number to be copied.....wierd

That's a wide range, I'm hopefully above 500ng but just wondering what level would the pros be at in ng? Just a guess throw a number out...

I think the goal is to be in the upper 1/3 range but for pros? I have no idea.....they may go over the top

Slim's right, if you want to grow you want your IGF to be on the upper 1/3. The pro's make up their own range.
