The IGF-1 hormone helps to reproduce and regenerate cells. It works together with growth hormone. This hormone stimulates the liver to make IGF-1 that later leads to the growth and development of the body at any age.
IGF-1 FUNCTION
- improving bone density
- building muscle
- Healing skin, bones, gut lining, etc.

There are also special IGF-1 supplements that can help with different imbalances as additional support for other changes that a person should be willing to contribute. The good news is that science has come a long way. The same also applies to functional medicine. People can also be genetically predisposed to certain health issues such as autoimmunity or inflammation, but that doesn’t mean that it is not possible to find a certain approach that will help to deal with it and minimize the risk. Perhaps certain aspects have nothing to do with genetics, but there are also many other traits that can have an inheritance problem along the way as a part of bad decisions or shift in focus. It is never too late to think about your health and wants to improve it.
