Brief history - found a tumor in my pituitary gland, and was prescribed HRT almost 12 months ago, namely HGH and TRT. I've also had several spinal surgeries and some nagging pains, so decided to try out a therapeutic Nandrolone Decanoate (Deca) dose recently. My protocol for the past 6 months...

The researchers found that having higher baseline levels of vitamin D, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and its binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) was associated with a lower risk of worse frailty status four years later. "Vitamin D, besides maintaining bone health, regulates muscle function, and...

Dietary Fat and Carbohydrates Are Independently Associated With Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor–Binding Protein 3 Concentrations in Healthy Adults Journal of Clinical Oncology 17, no. 10 (October 1999) 3291-3298. PURPOSE: To evaluate and quantify the...

"In conclusion, we found that women with higher intakes of citrus fruit and dietary vitamin C had higher circulating concentrations of IGF-I and lower concentrations of IGFBP-3. These results raise the possibility that higher intake of this fruit subgroup and its vitamin C constituent may be...

Just had my consultation with Defy and I can't wait to get started with 2 x injections weekly of test plus HCG and supplementing with DHEA. Dr Saya noticed that my IGF-1 level is in range but on the low end, he suggested supplementing with L-Argenine before bed, and before the gym. 400-500mg...

A Longitudinal Study of Growth, Sex Steroids and Insulin-like Growth Factor I in boys with Physiological Gynecomastia Physiological gynecomastia is common in pubertal boys and appears to be associated with increased levels of insulin like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and pubertal growth, but not...

DHEA has no influence on growth hormone in males but it seems to have an effect in females. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 2006 Nov;65(5):673-80. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) replacement reduces growth hormone (GH) dose requirement in female hypopituitary patients on GH replacement. Abstract...

Another study from Dr Lipshultz' group that links high IGF-1 with better erectile function while having no effect on the prostate. Abstract Growth hormone (GH) supplementation may help to preserve erectile function. We assessed whether serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, a...

Been on TRT for 3+ years, very happy with it. IGF-1 levels have always been around 100. Previous Doctor had me on hgh and this boosted IGF-1 to 250 range, right where he wanted. I'm 48 and decided I should delay using hgh so I switched to Sermorelin two months ago. Just got blood work back...

Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, called Sermorelin - may provide a superior product for endogenous production of hGH (your own body's production of growth hormone). Unlike exogenous (injected) recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) that causes production of the bioactive hormone IGF-1 from...
