Im looking for some information regarding IGF-1 / HGH capabilities at regenerating cartilage tissue.
My reason for researching is my mother has recently been diagnosed with osteoatheritis which is basically a breakdown of cartilage in the joints resulting in the bones grinding against each other which is causing the bones to calcify together in an attempt to heal.
Her doctor is currently prescribing her pain killers and has told her to take up to 8 co-codemol (paracetamol) per day. Bearing in mind the pack advises no more than 4 per day. So the doctors are dealing with her by hiding her pain not fixing it.
A quick few details about my mother, she is 50 and has always lived an active lifestyle. She used to do karate, but now she plays golf most days with my father, she also skies for a month or 2 per year.
This problem as you can imagine is really affecting her lifestyle as she is suffering with pain to her lower back, knees and ankles.
Thats why ive started looking for something that is going to help the problem not hide it.
I started looking at hgh at a low dose of 1-2IU's per day for her. But after researching a little bit further its the IGF-1 that the hgh stimulates that actually has the ability to regenerate cells. Im struggling to find anyone who has used either compounds for the healing properties alone.
Also im unsure with the IGF-1 how many mcg she would need per day, when to administer it, and for how long to use.
Sorry for this being so long but i wanted to explain as much as i could, any help or advise will be greatly appreciated!
