Cancer meta?

[KittyBreath]

If the best way to prevent/get rid/slow down cancer is muscle mass why don’t doctors prescribe igf-1 or any muscle steroid/peptide so that they have longer to live?

Cuz igf1 l3 is not fda approved. Still in clinical trials

Where’s the fun in taking legal peds?

IGF-1promotes cell growth and survival broadly, not selectively. it encourages muscle repair, but it also tells cancer cells to grow, stay alive, and spread. high circulating igf-1 levels are linked with increased risk of several cancers actually. you'll strengthen both the person and the tumor.
