MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) (5mg) Dosage Protocol
MGF is a splice variant of IGF-1 produced locally in muscle tissue following mechanical stress. It activates satellite cells and promotes muscle repair. PEG-MGF is a modified version with extended half-life.
Add 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water → 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL)
100-200 mcg per injection, post-workout
At 2 mg/mL: 5 units = 100 mcg, 10 units = 200 mcg
Lyophilized: -20°C; Reconstituted: 2-8°C for up to 1 week
| Week | Daily Dose | Units (per injection) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard MGF | 100-200 mcg | 5-10 units post-workout |
| PEG-MGF | 200 mcg | 10 units 2-3x weekly |
| Bilateral injection | 50-100 mcg per site | Split between muscles |
- 1Draw 2.5 mL bacteriostatic water with a sterile syringe
- 2Inject slowly down the vial wall
- 3Gently swirl until fully dissolved - do not shake
- 4Label with date and concentration, refrigerate immediately
MGF is expressed in muscle following mechanical overload. It activates muscle satellite cells, promoting their proliferation and fusion with existing muscle fibers. This supports muscle repair and potential hypertrophy. PEGylation extends the otherwise very short half-life.
- Activates muscle satellite cells
- Supports muscle repair processes
- Local action at injection site
- May enhance recovery from training
