Scope & Mechanisms

Hypertrophy and recovery signals: IGF-1 axis, myostatin binding, GH secretagogues.

Targets Often Discussed

  • IGF‑1 LR3, MGF
  • Follistatin 344
  • Hexarelin, CJC-1295

Experimental Confounders

Training volume, recovery status, and nutrition variables can swamp small effects. Keep logs consistent.

Supplier Considerations

Prioritize chromatograms and impurity profiles; check vial lot vs COA.

Pitfalls

  • Comparing across non-equivalent forms
  • Ignoring storage stability

External Research on Muscle/Performance

Use primary sources to verify claims; interpret within each study’s limits.
