Some day my insurance won't pay for growth hormone. when that happens, could igf1 from colostrum partially make up for it? thank you.

Growth Hormone: If your doctor has diagnosed growth hormone deficiency and prescribed appropriate medicine have him/her contact the company that says they won't pay. It is highly likely that when your doctor speaks to a doctor at the place where the insurance folks said No!, your doctor will get your request approved. That happens most of the time.

No: Any Igf1 in breast milk would be broken down during digestion as would any other component of the milk. Only injected synthetic or real growth hormone has the potential to remain available for use.
