Growth Hormone

Insulin and it's sister hormones GH & IGF-1 touch almost every cell in our

bodies and are the prime drivers of growth &

cellular replication. Reduce any one too far and your body goes into a

catabolic state.

Insulin does much, much more than just store excess glucose and through the

entire endocrine system, Insulin is a very

major player.
