Hormonal breast enhancement
Highly-Experimental Research PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! This is highly experimental and incredibly dangerous stuff. |
Estradiol by itself doesn't stimulate breast development. IGF-1 acts in concert with estradiol to build breast tissue and determine final breast size. In essence, estradiol pulls the steering wheel towards "breasts", and IGF-1 slams the gas pedal.[1] In fact, IGF-1 is the strongest determinant of breast size as measured during the follicular phase of cisgender women.[2]
Risks of increasing IGF-1
Acromegaly, a masculinizing pronouncement of facial bone structure, is caused by abnormally high levels of IGF-1.
IGF-1 has been linked to breast cancer.
IGF-1 Levels
Naturally increasing IGF-1
- Supplementing Vitamin D3 increases IGF-1.[citation needed]
- Sleeping well.
- Exercise.
- Gaining weight.
Artificially increasing IGF-1
- Mk-677 amplifies the production of IGF-1, rather than simply increasing production by a constant level. This means that the body's natural cycle of IGF-1 production will only be heightened, with higher peaks. This drug has been under clinical investigation for some time, however its primary use is bodybuilders.
