APS Nutrition IGF-1 Extreme is a dietary supplement which provides the insulin-like growth factor 1. It is a perfect support in the muscle mass building and regeneration. Moreover, the product has been enhanced with 250 mg of colostrum.

In the supplement, you can find the insulin-like growth factor obtained from the so-called deer antler velvet. It is a natural source of this compound and using it does not affect the environment. No animal suffered for the supplement to be produced, which is why we can obtain the highest-quality supplement without any ethic problems.

Insulin-like growth factor 1 IGF-1 is also known as somatomedin C and belongs to the group of tissue hormones. It is a protein hormone which structurally resembles insulin secreted by the beta-cells of pancreatic islets. Its main production center in the human body system are liver tissues, but it can also be directly produced in the cartilage, which is one of the places where it is mostly active.

In the human body system, secretion of the insulin-like growth factor 1 is stimulated by the secretion of the growth hormone hGH and is directly related to its activity. Because of the strong synergy of action of these two compounds, it is hard to indicate a clear line between the scopes of their action. This is why it is assumed that their roles in the body system are inseparably bound and they complement each other. The highest concentration of the insulin-like growth factor 1 is observed during the organism development. Its secretion can be also stimulated by the indirect factors, such as physical activity. The decline in the amount of IGF-1 in the body system is characteristic for the organism ageing.

Supplementation with IGF-1
The most effective form of increasing the level of insulin-like growth factor 1 in humans is providing it by injection. However, this form of supplementation is reserved exclusively for medical purposes. Oral supplementation is a much safer and legal form of increasing concentration of IGF-1 in the human body system. It promotes the level of insulin-like growth factor 1 in the body system and increases its effectiveness.
Deer antler velvet is a natural source of IGF-1 which can be used in supplementation.

Promotion of anabolic processes
The main scope of IGF-1 activity in the human body system is to stimulate anabolism and to accelerate the rate of building in relation to catabolic changes, which is visible in the form of a positive nitrogen balance. In case of sculpting sports, this results in the increased potential to build high-quality muscle mass. It also promotes its maintaining during the period of fat reduction, when there is an increased risk of catabolism.

Stimulating the process of building by the insulin-like growth factor is also visible within the skeletal system and cartilage. IGF-1 has a beneficial influence on their mechanical strength, which promotes the optimal functionality of the motor system.

Increased regenerating potential
A high concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 in the body system increases also the ability to regenerate. Therefore, the supplementation with this product can be recommended to every athlete who works out intensively. IGF-1 supplementation can significantly increase the regenerating abilities of the organism, which allows for maximum efficiency during training and results in greater progress regardless of the discipline.

Improvement of life quality
IGF-1 supplementation is also recommended not only because of its role in sports. It has been demonstrated that insulin-like growth factor can optimize sexual function in both men and women. Besides, the product is indicated as a form of slowing down ageing process. Moreover, some sources indicate that supplementation with this compound can positively affect the functions of the immune system.

Bovine colostrum – is a secretion produced by mammary glands for up to three days after delivery. Colostrum contained in the supplement is standardised for the 80% content of immunoglobulins IgG, which is the most valuable for the supplementation. These are natural antibodies which reduce the harmful activity of external pathogens. Because of that, supplementation with colostrum is a highly effective form of promoting the functioning of the immune system.

To sum it all up, APS IGF-1 Extreme is the highest-quality source of insulin-like growth factor 1, a compound which is responsible for a number of processes leading to the development of an organism. It supports anabolic transformations, shows anti-ageing properties, improves regeneration and can also promote the health of the motor system. Moreover, it is enhanced with colostrum which increases the immunity of the body system.
