MGF
THE STEM CELL ACTIVATOR
Mechano Growth Factor; IGF-1Ec
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of IGF-1 that your body produces naturally after muscle damage from exercise. It's like a distress signal that activates dormant muscle stem cells (satellite cells) and tells them to start repairing and building new muscle tissue. Supplementing with MGF can accelerate this natural repair process.
