IGF-1 - Is it all it's hyped up to be?
If you're an older person who's looked into anti-aging products, then you've more than likely come upon what is known as IGF-1 in your searches. You're skeptical, though, because you know they'll try to sell you anything with the claims that it will make you feel younger, stronger and more virile. So the question is - does IGF-1 actually work? Does it live up to the grandiose claims made by the people trying to sell it?
The jury is still out on the verdict for this case, unfortunately. There is a ton of anecdotal evidence for both sides, but nothing conclusive and definitely nothing scientific - which I suppose could be taken as a sign in itself that maybe IGF-1 isn't as great as some would have you believe. I know that I personally gave it a try and definitely felt an increase in energy and reduction in my recovery time (I lift weights) but I suppose those could have also just been placebo effects. I certainly didn't notice any effects comparable to steroid use, so don't buy this stuff under the impression that it's some sort of "safe steroid" (all steroids are safe when used properly, but that's another story).
Another problem arises with IGF-1 sprays besides their efficacy - and that problem is the potential side effects. At this site - http://igf-1sideeffects.net - there's a great article which completely lays out and explains all of the side effects which have been reported by IGF-1 users in the past, as well as ones that have been shown to be possible in case studies done in laboratories. If you've been looking into getting some of this stuff for yourself, it's highly recommended that you visit the site above and give that article at least 1 read through before going through with your purchase.
