A member asked:
Will consuming insulin like growth factor-1 increase my height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Curious question: Consuming igf1, if you had access to it, would likely do nothing.It would be broken down by digestion into sub proteins and never reach your circulation in a usable form. It would just be another protein in your diet.
