Why Mechano Growth Factor? Resistance training or more specifically, a training that causes our muscles to work beyond their usual power leads to that familiar ‘burning’ sensation we all have had a chance to experience during an exercise. What happens to our muscles at that point is the following: Every muscle is a cluster of muscle fibers (muscle cells), which at the point of extreme efforts tend to tear. The tearing of the muscle fibers is what causes the burning sensation. The torn parts form certain ‘cavities’ in the muscle tissue and those cavities represent a chance for a muscle to grow. After those ‘cavities’ are filled up with the muscle ‘matter’, we are left with a muscle of an increased mass. Why ‘Mechano’? Because tearing of the muscle fibers is an actual mechanical damage, and the only way to achieve that kind of damage is through mechanical stimulation of the muscle tissue. Why ‘Growth Factor’? Because Mechano Growth Factor is responsible for accelerated muscle build-up processes. Besides accelerating muscle build-up processes Mechano Growth Factor also helps create new muscle cells. That’s a simplified way of looking at the whole process.
We will explain a few more details behind the workings of the Mechano Growth Factor and PEG-MGF shortly.
Mechano Growth Factor is a peptide hormone, a natural physiological byproduct created in a human body as a result of an exercise. Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor) are isoforms. Isoform is a protein with a slightly different form but usually a similar function as its ‘fellow’ isoform protein. Both, MGF (which is a liver derived hormone) and IGF-1 (which is produced in the muscles) have anabolic effects, but the anabolic powers of the MGF are greater than those of IGF-1. Anabolic quality of a substance is such that increases the levels of synthesis, either at a molecular or a cellular level, meaning the Mechano Growth Factor has a greater sensitivity to damages caused to muscles by exercise and induces the synthesis of a greater amount of proteins in skeletal muscles.
Another favorable effect of the Mechano Growth Factor is its ability to activate the satellite cells of muscles (myosatellite cells). Myosatellite cells behave as stem cells. Once they are activated they fuse, form myoblastst, proceed to differentiate and form entirely new muscle cells. Again, the result is muscle growth.
But what about PEG-MGF? Why do we at BeFit4Free produce the PEGylated version of the Mechano Growth Factor if the MGF on its own has so much potential anyway?
PEGylated protein (PEG-MGF) is the one that has Polyethylene Glycol added to it. The role of the Polyethylene Glycol molecule is to preserve the integrity of the Mechano Growth Factor. Unlike the naturally produced Mechano Growth Factor, the injected MGF needs to enter the circulatory system. That is where the problem for the MGF arises. MGF is not stable in such environment and in order to be able to reach its final destination and fulfill its role it needs to be PEGylated (and turned into PEG-MGF). Polyethylene Glycol serves as a kind of a shell protecting the MGF from reacting to its surroundings before it reaches its final destination. It makes the PEG-MGF much more stable and long-lasting than Machano Growth Factor could be on its own.
PEG MGF Dosage
Typical dosage of PEG-MGF is between 200mcg. – 400mcg. per week but many bodybuilders have said to “research” this peptide at dosages exceeding 1,500 mcg weekly with no adverse effects.
Because PEG MGF can cause site specific muscle growth, it is recommended to inject PEG MGF bi-laterally to ensure symmetrical gains. The most effective test results were experienced in users injecting the PEG MGF post exercise.
