Igetropin (Insuline Growth Factor) by Hygene: results, dosages and side effects

Igetropin is an injectable drug manufactured by Hygene, China and containing IGF-I (Insulin-like Growth Factor) and IGF-II belonging to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are structurally homologous to proinsulin. These compounds are present in many tissues and cell types and may have autocrine, paracrine and endocrine functions. In medicine it is also useful in treatment of kidney disease, osteoporosis (condition resulting in reduced bone mineral density, also known as brittle bones), atherosclerosis (inflammation of the walls of the arteries) and myotonic muscular dystrophy. Igetropin come in kits containing 25 vials x 100 mcg/vial.

The main effect of Igetropin is regulation of glycogen metabolism. It also has anabolic features. This drug induces transportation of glycogen and amino acids within muscular and other tissues. This preparation can also increase protein anabolism. It is a growth factor and it is one of the most potent in human body. IGF causes muscle cell hyperplasia, which is an actual splitting and forming of new muscle cells. Another advantage that Igetropin has over other hormones is that it has much more of an affinity to attach to muscle cells instead of bone and organ cells.

Igetropin is most effective when administered subcutaneous and injected once or twice daily. The best period for injections is either in the morning or immediately after weight training. The most effective length for a cycle of Igetropin is 50 days on and 20-40 days off. The average dosage is quite controversial in using this medication. The most used dosages range between 20 mcg per day and up to 120 mcg perday. IGF is only available by the milligram, one mg will give you a 50 day cycle at 20 mcg per day, 2 mg will give you a 50 day cycle at 40 mcg per day, and so on. Hypoglycemic effects of this compound can be reduced by intake of oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, thyroid hormone preparations, diazoxid, tricyclic antidepressants and some other medicines.

The main side effects of Igetropin and other isuline growth medications are: acromegaly in athletes (a condition where the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone resulting in the growth and swelling of body parts, typically hands, feet, nose but can progress to brow and jaw protrusion and swelling of internal organs). As well one can experience: abnormal enlargement of organs, lower than normal levels of glucose in the blood, prostate, lung and colorectal cancers predispositions.
