Typical dose
200–400 mcg
post-workout, local · SubQ
Half-life
~5-7 minutes
What is Mechano Growth Factor (MGF)?
Splice variant of IGF-1 expressed after mechanical loading and tissue damage. Used to support localized muscle repair signaling.
How Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) works
Activates satellite cell recruitment and local anabolic signaling after tissue stress.
Benefits & uses
Common uses: Recovery from intense training, muscle repair, hypertrophy support.
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) dosage
- Typical dose
- Typical: 200–400 mcg post-workout, local to worked muscle. 4–6 weeks.
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) half-life
~5-7 minutes (non-pegylated)
Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) side effects
Limited human data; mild injection site reactions possible.
- Injection site irritation
- Limited long-term human safety data
Preparation & storage
- Preparation
- Mix a 5 mg vial with 2 mL bac water → 2,500 mcg/mL. A 200 mcg dose = 0.08 mL = 8 units.
- Reconstitution
- Reconstitute a 5 mg vial with 2 mL BAC water → 2.5 mg/mL. A 200 mcg dose = 0.08 mL = 8 units on a U-100 syringe.
- Storage
- Refrigerate after reconstitution (2–8 °C).
