Experimental

Evidence is experimental. Most claims trace to limited human studies or animal models. Treat as a research direction, not a protocol.

Mechanism

MGF (IGF-1Ec) is the splice variant produced locally in muscle in response to mechanical stress. PEGylation extends the otherwise minutes-long half-life. Preclinical models show satellite cell proliferation and accelerated regeneration after injury. No human clinical trials. Often paired with IGF-1 LR3 in physique-community stacks; often counterfeit in grey market.

Specifics
Soft-tissue injury / tendonSlow wound healingBody composition (lean mass)
Caveats

No human safety data. Local IGF-1 axis activation creates unknown long-term tissue-overgrowth and cancer-promotion concerns. Identity verification of grey-market product is poor — PEG-MGF is among the most counterfeited peptides.

Evidence levelExperimental
Regulatory statusExpected reclassification — PCAC review Feb 2027

Claims & evidence

Per-claim grading. Each claim is graded independently — same peptide, different claims can carry different grades.
