Mechano-sensitive IGF-1 splice variant studied for local muscle repair and satellite cell activation.

/ mechanism of action

How it works

A splice variant of IGF-1 expressed in response to mechanical loading. Activates satellite cells for muscle repair before systemic IGF-1 effects.

/ research dosing

Common research protocols

Range
200-500 mcg per dose (PEG-MGF: ~200-400mcg 2-3x/week)
Frequency
Post-training or 2-3x weekly (PEG form)
Route
Subcutaneous or intramuscular
Cycle
4-8 week research courses
Research notes

Standard MGF has a very short half-life (minutes); PEG-MGF is pegylated for extended action. Researched for localized muscle repair timing.

FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. Doses listed are compiled from published research literature, FDA-approved drug labels, and well-documented research community practice. Not medical advice.
/ standalone use

As a solo compound

Often researched post-training; PEG-MGF is the longer-acting form.

Common pairings
/ side effects

What to know

Injection-site effects possible; generally well-tolerated in studies.
