IGF1 to supplement PCT

[Stevo213]

Has anyone used IGF1 with SERMS for PCT?

A lot of people on forums claim it helps with testicular atrophy.

There are a few studies that show a correlation with IGF1 and FSH/LH, but no studies on the actual supplementation of IGF1.

Are IGF1 levels typically low after a cycle?

There's a good reason pro BB use GH and AAS together w or wo Slin, it's called synergism.

GH alone is a weak anabolic agent in Adults

Understood. But what about its role in the HPTA?

What role ?

Post a couple studies your referring to.

It didnt do shit for me.
I didnt use peptide igf1, but i used hgh 5-6 ius a day + 300mcg of ghrp 2 and cjc nodac a day.
Im halfway recovered 1 month after pct now though
but trainingwise. strength gone. bodyfat up

There's no studies on IGF in PCT but it shows a big significance in testicular size.

The emerging role of insulin-like growth factors in testis development and function

Here's one of the studies.

What I am trying to get at is: DURING PCT (after cycle ends) your IGF levels are low right?

If IGF plays an important role in facilitating LH and FSH - would it not be a good idea to supplement it during PCT?


Here's a section of the study: ' a recent report revealed that IGFs are the most important growth factor in regulating SC number and testis size. '


I am not med student, and I could be completely wrong, but this study seems to tell me that IGF is very important for our Sertoli cells.

People claim that IGF restores their testi size fairly quickly in conjunction with SERMS on many different forums.
Yes, they could he research companies trying to push their products but some reputable users on completely different forums claim so themselves.

Yep that's what I thought you post, a study on the developing fetus, prepubertal males, or the influence of IGF on female ovulation.

IGF interacts with a variety of endocrine systems but there no reliable evidence, that I'm aware of, which supports the notion IGF mediates AIH induced HTPA recovery, esp via LH modulation.

Finally since the anecdotes from others on PED forums are anything but evidence based good luck following their lead.
