Hey everyone, Hunter Williams here! In today’s video, I dive deep into why IGF-1 level testing isn’t always the best marker for optimizing growth hormone. While it’s a useful tool, it doesn’t tell the full story when it comes to HGH or peptide supplementation. Instead, I’ll break down why IGF-1 levels can be misleading, what factors actually impact IGF-1 production, and a better way to assess if you need HGH or growth hormone peptides.
