Primarily, weight management and blood sugar regulation, with additional research exploring cardiovascular outcomes through the CagriSema combination
The researchers concluded that IGF-I promotes an average increase of 15% in muscle mass and a 14% increase in strength in muscle tissue

This is where liposomal delivery changes the conversation
Why It Works: PEGylation attaches polyethylene glycol to the MGF molecule, extending its half-life from just 5-7 minutes (unmodified MGF) to roughly 48-72 hours, allowing more sustained signaling Theorized to activate and proliferate skeletal muscle satellite cells, supporting local muscle repair and hypertrophy pathways tied to IGF-1 splice-variant signaling (Hill & Goldspink, 2003, J Physiol ) Proposed to aid regeneration of tissue damaged by intense mechanical stress, though this is based mainly on mechanistic, animal, and cell-model research rather than confirmed human clinical outcomes Best For: Muscle tissue repair and recovery from intense resistance training or weightlifting-related micro-injury (unapproved, research-only use case
The extract also enhanced antioxidant activity, evidenced by lower MDA levels and cardiac ACE activity
