What MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is

IGF-1 splice variant produced locally in mechanically stressed muscle and studied in muscle-regeneration biology. It is also referred to as IGF-1Ec.

How it works

Locally expressed IGF-1 splice variant associated with satellite-cell activation and tissue remodeling.

What the evidence shows

Therapeutic human evidence is inadequate.

Evidence level: E — Experimental.

Routes studied: Experimental IM/SC research.

Doses studied: Only experimental MGF and PEG-MGF research protocols exist. There is no established human therapeutic dose.

What this page does not claim

MGF is not a muscle-building treatment.

Safety considerations

Human safety is not established.

  • Cautions and contraindications: Growth-sensitive conditions.
  • Possible interactions: Other GH/IGF agents.

Sport and anti-doping

Growth factors are prohibited in sport.
