Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 - promotes cellular growth and supports tissue regeneration

Overview

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) is a potent growth factor that plays a central role in cellular growth, proliferation, and survival. In skin, IGF-1 supports collagen synthesis, keratinocyte proliferation, and dermal matrix maintenance. It works synergistically with other growth factors to promote tissue regeneration and support the skin's natural renewal processes.
