What is IGF-1?
The full form of IGF-1 is, Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. It is similar to growth hormone and insulin. The pituitary gland gives a signal to GH and GH gives a signal to IGF-1 to release. The pituitary gland stimulates the liver to produce IGF-1. If your GH increases, your IGF-1 will also increase.
Our body uses growth hormone to make IGF-1. It is made with a biological method in our body. A single chain of IGF-1 contains 70 amino acids. One of the mechanisms of our body is the 6 binding process, which binds 98% IGF-1 to itself. This bound IGF-1 goes to insulin and insulin decides when and where it should reach our body.
