MGF (IGF-1EC)
MGF (IGF-1EC) is a muscle development peptide used in evidence-based, physician-supervised protocols. Use post-resistance training to maximize satellite cell-driven muscle hypertrophy.
What is MGF (IGF-1EC)?
Mechano Growth Factor — C-domain peptide spliced from IGF-1 gene after mechanical loading (exercise). Activates satellite cell (muscle stem cell) proliferation before they fuse to damaged muscle fibers. Highly local effect — inject into trained muscle within 30-60 min post-workout for maximum satellite cell activation.
Uses & clinical decision logic
Use post-resistance training to maximize satellite cell-driven muscle hypertrophy. Time-sensitive — most effective when injected into worked muscle shortly after training.
MGF (IGF-1EC) dosage & administration
| Vial size | BAC water | Dosing range | Units / dose | Frequency | Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2mg | 1mL | 200-400mcg | 10-20 units | Post workout | IM |
| 5mg | 2mL | 200-400mcg | 8-16 units | Post workout | IM |
Safety & contraindications
Local injection only — systemic SubQ blunts effect.
Stacking & combinations
Sequence: train → MGF injection into worked muscle → IGF-1 LR3 later for systemic muscle protein synthesis amplification.
