MGF IGF-1 EC 5 MG

MGF IGF-1 Ec 5 mg – Peptide Hubs

MGF IGF-1 Ec, also known as Mechano Growth Factor, is a splice variant of IGF-1 released in response to mechanical overload and muscle damage. It plays a key role in activating satellite cells and stimulating localized muscle hypertrophy. Peptide Hubs offers a 5 mg lyophilized version of high-purity MGF for advanced regeneration, recovery, and hypertrophy research.

Mechanism of Action

MGF is produced by skeletal muscle in response to mechanical stress and microtrauma. It initiates satellite cell proliferation without differentiation, creating a reservoir of potential muscle cells. MGF differs from IGF-1 LR3 by acting locally and acutely during the early recovery window. For more details, refer to this NIH article on IGF-1 isoforms.

Research Applications

• Muscle regeneration and hypertrophy studies
• Satellite cell activation and myoblast recruitment
• Recovery enhancement after trauma or intense physical stress
• Sarcopenia and age-related muscle loss models

MGF is commonly combined with GHRP-2 for synergistic GH elevation or with GHK Basic for tissue regeneration. In studies focused on anti-aging and muscle repair, researchers also pair it with FOX04-DRI or BPC-157 for comprehensive cellular recovery support.

Suggested Experimental Use

• Dosage: 200–400 mcg per injection
• Administration: Intramuscular injection at target site post-exercise or injury
• Cycle Duration: 2–6 weeks depending on model and frequency of injury/recovery intervals

Stacking Suggestions

• BPC-157 – for tendon and joint healing synergy
• GHK Basic – for post-trauma soft tissue regeneration
• FOX04-DRI – for anti-senescence effects during muscle recovery
• AOD 9604 – for co-administration in fat loss and muscle tone studies

Safety & Legal Status

MGF IGF-1 Ec is intended strictly for research use only. It is not FDA-approved for human or veterinary use. Studies show low systemic side effects, short half-life, and limited risk of hormonal disruption or hepatotoxicity. Refer to ClinicalTrials.gov for emerging data on MGF-related peptides.
