levels does not necessarily means that you're gonna get cancer.IGF1 is a metabolic pathway for growth, yes growth in general from muscle tissue, bones, even organs BUT.There is a huge difference from ingecting into yourself, artificial IGF1 HGH etc and causing you body to secrete it naturall.When i say naturally i'm not talking about animal products (i am a vegan btw except some use
