IGF-1 vs HGH

While human growth hormone (HGH) is necessary for growth and development, it is important to note that it doesn’t cause direct muscle growth. It rather stimulates the release of IGF-1 from the liver which then acts upon cells that can proliferate and grow well

This comparison does not assign a generated winner or score.

  • While human growth hormone (HGH) is necessary for growth and development, it is important to note that it doesn’t cause direct muscle growth. It rather stimulates the release of IGF-1 from the liver which then acts upon cells that can proliferate and grow well.
  • HGH is not prescribed by a physician unless you have growth hormone (GH) deficiency which is characterized by multiple disorders, such as dwarfism.
  • But it is easier to obtain IGF-1 polypeptide from a vendor. For that reason, I would strongly recommend choosing IGF-1 over HGH.
