  2. What is IGF 1? The IGF 1 or Insulin Growth Factor 1 is a hormone that works with growth hormone to reproduce and regenerate cells. Its main job is to regulate the effects of growth hormone in our body. It also uses to improve energy levels, physical performance, respiratory conditions and can even be relieved the symptoms of menopause. IGF 1 normal function is bone growth but it is commonly known in building muscle or preventing cancer.

  3. 1.IGF 1 helps to increase antioxidants IGF1 helps to increase glutathione peroxidase. It is an important antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from exposing to radiation by preventing cell death and increasing the antioxidant status. 2.IGF 1 helps to decrease inflammation and autoimmunity Inflammation level tends to be low when the level of IGF 1 becomes high. IGF 1 helps to fight autoimmunity by increasing T Regulatory Cells. IGF 1 can also help to stimulate glucose transport for a diabetic patient. 3.IGF 1 helps to create muscles and reduces muscle wasting IGF 1 is good for building muscle and can reduce muscle loss because of aging and disease. These are the 8 surprising things that you might don’t know about IGF 1:

  4. 4.IGF 1 promotes growth IGF 1 helps to restore in children with IGF deficiency. IGF 1 deficiency may cause insensitivity to Growth Hormones and effects in growth and repair. 5.IGF 1 Helps bone density IGF 1 is a direct promoter of bone growth; high levels of IGF 1 are related to greater bone mineral density. It helps to increase bone formation and bone resorption processes.

  5. 6.IGF 1 can boost the immune system A strong immune system is very important to stay healthy. It helps to prevent cold and flu along with other infections. IGF 1 can help to increase a natural killer cell activity and drives B-cells to multiply. 7.IGF 1 protects body against heart disease IGF 1 contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on blood vessels, reducing additional plaque accumulation and stabilizing existing plaque. Many cardiovascular diseases like coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke are associated with lower IGF 1. 8.IGF 1 helps to repair and regenerate cells IGF 1 can be used to fix peripheral nerve tissue that has been damaged. It can repair and reconnected severed nerve endings up to a distance of 6 millimeters and it could also stimulate even more dramatic regeneration.
