LabCorp Test #: 010363, CPT: 84305
What is this test?
This test measures Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), which can help assess the body‘s Human Growth Hormone (hGH) production. IGF-1 is a hormone produced by the liver and other tissues, and it is related to hGH secretion, which makes it a useful measurement for understanding hGH production.
Who is this test for?
This test is for anyone considering Peptide Therapy to increase hGH levels. It can help your provider understand your current hGH production and how Peptide Therapy may help. hGH production typically declines naturally as we age in a process called Somatopause, and medications like Sermorelin, Ipamorelin and others can be taken to increase hGH levels when appropriate.
