tren raises IGF has been parroted since the 90s online but I've literally NEVER seen any bloodwork posted to prove it
in my case it's the exact opposite, the the degree that the tren was even preventing the legit sero's (GH serum testing up in the 20's) from raising my IGF1 even after running them for months
my HRT doc was baffled as I 'passed' the GH piss bucket test (despite my best efforts to try to get insurance to cover hgh) but eventually we narrowed it down to the low dose Tren I'd been running for months.
It's an odd drug for sure, def affects DHT enzyme - which is why it's 'prostate freindly' (but the same Bros will tell you tren is terrible for the prostate as it's a 'strong androgen' '
well the effects on IGF have been proven in numerous studies, but of course not in vitro human studies...
agree on the DHT and SHBG thing, youre not the first one i see posting this, fucked up DHT values, i guess that only happens with low test though
many also had problems with SHBG (shbg is not as evil as people make it out to be, you need SHBG)
