Mechano Growth Factor or MGF is a peptide derived from a different sequence of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) which plays a large role in childhood development and continues to have anabolic effects throughout adulthood. MGF is released in response to muscles being stretched and exercised, this is particularly abundant when a muscle has been exposed to high-intensity weight training.
MGF has the ability to encourage repair and growth of wasted tissue through the activation of muscle stem cells, thereby increasing the synthesis of proteins necessary for tissue growth. This peptide is ideal for anyone suffering from muscle loss either due to old age or a particular condition.
