IGF-1 vs IGF-1 DES

IGF-1 DES is rather a shorter derivative of IGF-1 but approximately 5 times more potent than the parent compound. While the half-life of IGF-1 DES is much much lesser than IGF-1, IGF-1 DES is generally used locally and not for systemic body effects. It is most

  • IGF-1 DES is rather a shorter derivative of IGF-1 but approximately 5 times more potent than the parent compound.
  • While the half-life of IGF-1 DES is much much lesser than IGF-1, IGF-1 DES is generally used locally and not for systemic body effects. It is mostly used for site injections so that a particular muscle and area is allowed to grow.
  • Although the exact mechanism of action is unclear, research suggests that IGF-1 DES binds more strongly to the cells that have been deformed by the excess lactic acid. This ensures the regeneration and regrowth of cells that have been damaged.
