PEG-MGF

What Is It?

Mechano-growth factor (MGF) is an anabolic peptide found in muscle, bone, tendon, neural, and cardiac tissue following periods of increased stress. It is a split variant or isoform of insulin -like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), also known as IGF-1Ec. MGF functions to increase stem cell proliferation in given tissues, allowing for more rapid recovery.

Primarily, MGF is used in conditions requiring anabolic enhancement, including bony and soft tissue repair (e.g., tendon, ligament, muscle) following injury, sarcopenia (muscle wasting), stroke, or heart attack. MGF is especially beneficial for individuals requiring enhanced recovery and muscle building following eccentric muscle loading.

Benefits

Muscles heal and cells then grow and get bigger. In this phase, PEG MGF is used for muscle recovery. It binds to receptors and recovers the damaged muscle tissues. As well it signals satellite cells to grow as well. Therefore you get faster and larger growth. Basically, on top of the existing muscle growth, you are creating new muscle growth. This can be helpful, in theory, to bodybuilders, but also to age-related muscle loss issues and conditions. 

 The benefit of PEG MGF over the past variants of IGF, is that you can use it to get more out of it vs. just repairing and recovering from damaged muscle tissue. This is a unique ability to grow muscles in the area where it is desired.
