IGF-1 Lozenges promise to do one thing, and to do it well – boost your body’s IGF-1, or Insulin-Like Growth Factor, levels to an adequate amount so that you can feel healthy and energized again.

As a modern day “fountain of youth,” IGF-1 Lozenges obviously has the potential and upside to be a top-selling product if it can live up to its claim.

In this review, we’ll put its claim to the test to determine whether or not IGF-1 Lozenges is a fake or for real.

Rundown of IGF-1

First things first, you may be wondering what in the world is IGF-1. IGF-1 is a hormone that is naturally produced and converted from the mixture of HGH and insulin that occurs in the liver.

And similar to HGH, or Human Growth Hormone, IGF-1 serves a body by helping it to grow and develop during adolescence. When our bodies get older, IGF-1 still provides multiple anti-aging benefits including:

•The promotion of healthy immune systems.
•The increase of energy levels.
•The decrease of body fat.
•The promotion of healthy skin and hair.
•And more…

That being said, another phenomenon occurs when our bodies age – our HGH and IGF-1 production levels drop. Thus, we tend to get and FEEL older partly because of these deficiencies in our systems.

The less HGH and IGF-1 we produce, the more we’ll feel those aches , pains, and symptoms that occur from a decrease of energy.

Artificial Copy

Luckily, in today’s age of scientific and medical discovery, scientists have developed artificial prototypes of both HGH and IGF-1. These synthetic copies can then be injected or orally administered into the bloodstream’s of those individuals who are HGH and/or IGF-1 deficient.

One way of doing this is through the use of supplements – such as IGF-1 Lozenges. As its name implies, IGF-1 Lozenges actually contains a dosage of artificial IGF-1 in its blend.

With its ability to replace and replenish low IGF-1 levels that are naturally produced in the body, IGF-1 Lozenges has the potential to be a great helpmeet for older individuals and those adolescents who are experiencing stunts in growth.

Now, artificial IGF-1 is not the only ingredient found in IGF-1 Lozenges blend. The other main ingredient found in this product is none other than deer antler velvet extract.
No, that was not a typo. Surprisingly, the extract that you can take from deer antler does have medicinal benefits.

Here is a list of the benefits that deer antler velvet extract provides, including:

•The promotion of healthier bones and joints.
•The promotion of a healthier immune system.
•Increases in energy levels.
•The enhancement of sexual function in both men and women.
•Increases in muscle strength, endurance and lean body mass.
•It’s natural source of IGF-1.

As you can tell, deer antler velvet extract provides many of the same benefits that HGH and IGF-1 provide – making it a logical complement to artificial HGH and IGF-1.

82.5 Nanograms!

Alongside the two main ingredients – artificial IGF-1 and deer antler velvet extract – found in IGF-1 Lozenges, there are several other minor ingredients that serve various purposes.

We have classified them as minor because their dosage levels are not included on the ingredients label itself.

Speaking of the label, it’s always important to take a look at the ingredients as well as their dosage levels. This is because the most effective supplements always provide their users with proven ingredients in proven amounts.

On that note, we know that IGf-1 and deer antler velvet extract are proven ingredients. But are they found in proven amounts?

The answer is…probably not. If you look at the dosage level of IGF-1, it’s listed at just 82.5 nanograms per serving. To put the mass of a nanogram into perspective, it’s basically one-billionth of a gram. In comparison, a milligram is about one-thousandth of a gram.

Along those lines, “proven amounts” normally equates to a dosage level of at least 50mg, and preferably 100mg or more. Without even having to do the math, you should automatically register the fact that 82.5ng is a very, very, small dosage amount.

Now, perhaps NOW Foods knows something about IGF-1 that we don’t know. Perhaps its artificial form is extremely potent and can’t be administered in large amounts.

But in terms of our knowledge and as far as we are concerned, 82.5ng per serving is not going to have much of an effect on any adult human no matter how you try to justify it.

On a Positive Note…

Okay enough bashing. Let’s talk about something positive that IGF-1 Lozenges does do.

A major factor that users often have to take into account with diet pills is their absorption time. You see, most pills that are orally taken have to travel down the body and through the digestive tract before they hit the blood stream.

This obviously takes time, and in that time frame, precious amounts of a pill’s ingredients are often dissolved and rendered useless for the body to use.

Luckily, you won’t have to worry about this problem with IGF-1Lozenges. That’s because this pill uses what is called, new liposome technology, which allows for IGF-1 Lozenges to be absorbed straight into the blood stream. Thus, no potency is lost during absorption time.

Also, while we’re on the topic of usage, it’s important to note that Lozenges tablets can either be chewed or swallowed, depending on user preference. Users are instructed to take one tablet per day.

With 30 tablets to a bottle, each bottle should last about one month if taken as directed.

Final Word

So where does all this information take us? Is IGF-1 Lozenges worth a shot?

If it were up to us, we would choose a product that seems a little more proven and capable than what you would find with IGF-1 Lozenges.

Yes, NOW Foods promises that its product has been tested for effectiveness and safety and passed with flying colors, but they also state that their product has not been evaluated by the FDA at the same time.

Further and on the NOW Food website, the company actually suggests that users take IGF-1 Lozenges in combination with other dietary supplements to boost its proficiency.

Again, is IGF-1 Lozenges truly potent enough to do you any good?

With its effectiveness in doubt, we would recommend spending the bulk of your time looking elsewhere. You’re bound to find another HGH supplement that makes the same promises as IGF-1 Lozenges – just with more proven ingredient amounts.
