MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)

Growth Factor (IGF/MGF)Research Use Only

Also known as: Mechano Growth Factor, IGF-1Ec splice variant

MGF, or Mechano Growth Factor, is a splice variant of IGF-1 commonly referenced in research literature for its studied role in muscle-cell activation and repair following mechanical stress. In its unpegylated form it is characterized by a very short duration of action. This entry is educational and research-use-only and is not medical advice.

Typical range (research)

Commonly referenced in literature around 100–200 mcg per administration around activity (research reference only)

Half-life

Very short; commonly cited as only a few minutes for the unpegylated form

Route

Subcutaneous or intramuscular (research)

Common use

Studied in muscle-repair and satellite-cell activation research as an IGF-1 splice variant

Common vial sizes

5 mg

Storage

Lyophilized powder stored frozen or refrigerated away from light; reconstituted solution refrigerated (2–8 °C) and used within a few weeks

Stacking notes

Sometimes discussed alongside IGF-1 analogs or growth-hormone secretagogues in research contexts

Reported side effects

Injection-site reactionTransient redness reported anecdotally

Regulatory note: Not an approved therapeutic; sold for research purposes only
