The detail

What you should know.

Description

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of IGF-1 released locally in muscle in response to mechanical load, studied for its role in local muscle repair and satellite-cell activation.

Evidence is largely preclinical, and it is supplied strictly for research use.

How it works: MGF is studied for activating muscle satellite cells and supporting local repair after mechanical stress — a short-acting, locally-acting signal distinct from systemic IGF-1.

Researched to support: local repair, after training, short windows.

Quality: Lyophilised (freeze-dried) powder, supplied for research use only. Our manufacturers carry out their own batch testing; we do not independently verify those results or issue certificates of analysis, so we back every order with our purity guarantee instead.

How to use

Reconstitute: Use bacteriostatic water. Add it slowly down the inside wall of the vial and let it dissolve for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not shake.

Administer: Subcutaneous, usually with an insulin syringe.

Dose example: A 5 mg vial reconstituted with 1 ml gives 0.5 mg per 0.1 ml (10 units on a U-100 insulin syringe).

Store: Keep the powder cool and dry. Once reconstituted, store at 2 to 8 °C and use within about 28 days.

These are research materials, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor before use.

Research dosing protocols

In research use MGF has been handled as a subcutaneous injection, often around training:

  • Short active window (hence the longer-acting PEG-MGF variant).
  • Reconstituted with bacteriostatic water.
  • No approved human dosing exists.

Describes dosing used in clinical research, provided as reference only — not a usage recommendation or medical advice. This is an investigational research compound.

Clinical studies

Preclinical muscle repair: Laboratory studies explored MGF's role in activating satellite cells and supporting muscle regeneration after load; human trial data are lacking.

Local vs systemic: MGF is studied as a locally-acting signal, contrasted with systemic IGF-1 in the research literature.

Status: MGF is not an approved medicine; supplied strictly as a research peptide.

FAQs
What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids (2 to 50) that act as signalling molecules. Ours are supplied for laboratory research.

What's included in my order?

The vial contains lyophilised powder only. You also need bacteriostatic water, a sterile syringe, and a needle. We stock bacteriostatic water under Supplies.

How do I reconstitute the peptide?

Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inside wall of the vial, then let it dissolve for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not shake.

How should I store it?

Keep the powder cool and dry. After reconstitution, store at 2 to 8 °C and use within about 28 days.

How are peptides administered?

Most are administered subcutaneously with an insulin syringe, for slow, steady absorption. A few formulations use other routes.

When do effects appear?

It varies by peptide and protocol. Some are researched over a few days, others over several weeks.

Do I need to see a doctor?

A prescription is not required, but we recommend speaking with your doctor, especially if you have a medical condition or take other medication.

Are your peptides tested?

Our manufacturers carry out their own batch testing, but we do not test independently and do not hold certificates of analysis — so we make no purity claim of our own. We back it with a guarantee instead: you are welcome to have a vial independently tested — contact us first so we agree the laboratory. If the result doesn’t match the label, we reimburse the cost of the test and either replace the product or refund it.
