IGF-1+ Liposomal Spray 30 ml

• Insulin-like growth factor 1 in the form of liposomal spray
• Helps to regenerate muscles and connective tissue
• New Zealand’s red deer antler velvet extract
• High bioavailability and comfort of use
• Exhibits powerful anabolic properties
• Accelerates regeneration processes
• Helps to build lean muscle mass
• Improves bone mineral density

Now Foods IGF-1+ Liposomal Spray is a compound with anabolic properties, obtained from New Zealand’s red deer antler velvet. Insulin-like growth factor 1 in the form of liposomes ensures high bioavailability and nearly complete absorption. The product effectively helps to increase muscle and connective tissue regeneration as well as increases skeletal muscle growth (hypertrophy), at the same time reducing adipose tissue deposition. The form of lemon-flavoured spray guarantees comfort of use.

IGF-1 – also known as somatomedin C, a polypeptide hormone with a chemical structure similar to that of insulin, which is why its full name is insulin-like growth factor 1. The hormone is naturally produced in the liver, and its production is induced by growth hormone (GH), synthesised in the pituitary gland.

Hypertrophy
IGF-1 is a powerful mediator able to stimulate tissue growth and regeneration, including skeletal muscles. It activates one of the most important signalling pathways, that is mTOR kinase, which stimulates the process of new muscle protein synthesis. It has been demonstrated that IGF-1 levels increase with the consumption of protein, which is a basic structural element of skeletal muscles. The optimisation of hormones participating in hypertrophy can accelerate the process of muscle mass growth and significantly increase the ability of the body to increase the volume of muscle cells (myocytes).

Healthy bones
A high level of the hormone has a positive effect on bone mineral density, that way helping to keep the bones strong and reduce the risk of fractures. IGF-1 can minimise the risk of injury in individuals with osteoporosis and post-menopausal women, whose hormonal changes cause a drop in bone mineral density. The hormone can also reduce recovery time after a partial or complete fracture, helping to reach full mobility faster.

Efficient regeneration
IGF-1 accelerates the regeneration of tissues in the body, reducing muscle damage during training and delayed onset muscle soreness, which is experienced about 24 hours after workout. Moreover, IGF-1 participates in the regeneration of connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, cartilage), as it stimulates collagen synthesis.

Liposomal formula
Liposomes are structures formed naturally from phospholipids that help to transport substances to the bowels and the lymphatic system. The use of liposomes in this product makes it possible to increase the assimilability of the hormone, and particularly to inhibit its breakdown in the liver. As hormones taken orally are often inactivated by the liver, which reduces their effects, the use of liposomes as a carrier is a great way to avoid it.

In summary, Now Foods IGF-1+ Liposomal Spray contains insulin-like growth factor 1 with high bioavailability, obtained from red deer antler velvet. Thanks to the use of liposomes, the hormone can be absorbed into circulation and efficiently play its role. IGF-1 is beneficial for the development of lean muscle mass, regeneration of connective tissue and bone density.
