Many years ago I remember Phil Hernon was involved in selling the follistatin, praising it to the high heavens. Of course it did nothing, excepting one or two that thought they saw something. I'm pretty sure they finally tested the product and it was bunk.
bhank, come on now, you don't seriously believe anything Phil says publicly or do you. He pushes some peptides now and there is always a link to the place selling it. I am positive Phil has used/tried IGFLR3 but this latest balonie pure marketing, nothing else.
Some of the peptides are interesting and have some uses but none, except gh and insulin, are absolutely essential for even the highest level competition. IGF is like a super insulin, if you are lean it can give nice vascularity and "fullness" but if it builds muscle it's minute. I would do it peak week maybe.
You gave up on the insulin after a week or something. WTF you can't decide shit after such a short trial. What I would recommend, and I'm sure you will not do it, is to get on Metformin, even if do no other drugs whatsoever. If not Metformin then berberine which might work just as well. Both of these drugs can make you shit so I'm sure you don't have the patience to get acclimated. For the past several years I've thought insulin sensitivity is probably the most important parameter to improve. For a bb, for anyone getting up in age. I would also do old school supps like chromium picolinate (I'm trying 1000mcg now, the tabs are usually 200mcg. Swanson has a megadosed tab with 2000mcg) and Lipoic acid (n-r-ala) magnesium (whatever type has high bioavailability and doesn't give you diarrhea), Cardarine if you're not afraid of cancer, and whatever else could be important for insulin action.
Peg MGF is basically IGF but targets just your muscle and has been pegulated to stay in the blood longer. Phil Heath not Hernon is the one who says he takes IGF 1 now instead of HGH when he was competing. I do believe HGH works and is noticeable I believe Peg MGF does have the science behind it but I also just ordered a months worth so will see. I am lean enough I can tell the difference when I run HGH I should be able to tell if the MGF is working. Its not just about hypertrophy but also healing possible nerve damage it is supposed to be good for the heart as well.
I am more concerned about healing my chest tear and shoulder injuries than adding absolute mass

Prevents Heart Disease
Studies show that PEG-MGF can help protect against cardiovascular disease:
In sheeps, PEG-MGF protected the heart muscle from ischemia (reduced blood supply) and improved heart function after a heart attack. [16]
A study reported that PEG-MGF can help lower the risk of heart disease by preventing programmed cell death of heart muscle cells. [17]
PEG-MGF has also been shown to regulate the migration and proliferation of stem cells in the heart. [18]
A study found that PEG-MGF plays an integral role in the growth and formation of human heart tissues. [19]
In rats, localized delivery of PEG-MGF improved cardiac function following heart attack. [20]
