Dr. Paul Kaplowitz answered

Specializes in Pediatric Endocrinology

Don't waste money: The IGF-1 products sold in health stores and on the internet as anti-aging agents have not been clinical tested and are unlikely to have any real benefit so it probably makes no difference how you take them. My advice is not to waste you money on them but try eating healthier and getting more exercise
