IGF-1 LR4 · What it helps
Fat and sugar
IGF-1 pulls glucose into muscle and improves insulin sensitivity in the short term. With more muscle taking up sugar, less is stored as fat. Body composition shifts toward lean. It works with growth hormone, which releases fat, while IGF-1 builds the muscle that burns it.
