MGF

Research Peptide

Also known as: Mechano Growth Factor, IGF-1Ec

What is MGF?

MGF is a splice variant of IGF-1 released in response to muscle damage, potentially supporting muscle repair and growth.

How It Works

MGF activates satellite cells in damaged muscle tissue, promoting muscle repair and potentially new muscle cell formation.

What Research Shows

Animal Studies

Human Studies

Key Findings:

Released naturally after muscle damage
May activate muscle satellite cells
Potential for injury recovery

Limited Human Research

Most research on MGF has been conducted in animal models. Human clinical trials are limited or absent. Results may not translate directly to humans.
