This individual test can be taken alone or in combination with any of our hormone profiles to assess Human Growth Hormone (HGH) levels. Because HGH levels fluctuate throughout the day, monitoring IGF-1 levels provides a far more stable biologic marker produced by the liver in response to average, daily HGH levels. There is excellent correlation between HGH release and IGF-1 measurements; therefore, IGF-1 measurements provide an indirect, but highly accurate method of assessing HGH levels. The lab will mail your results to you within 7-10 business days after kit is returned with the samples.
