Medical Considerations Low IGF-1 with symptoms of GH deficiency may warrant: GH stimulation testing Consideration of GH or peptide therapy under endocrinology or functional medicine guidance High IGF-1 may require: Acromegaly screening (IGF-1 + oral glucose tolerance GH suppression test) Adjustment of therapy dosages Cancer risk assessment and monitoring IGF-1, Longevity, and Health Span The relationship between IGF-1 and lifespan is U-shaped both extremes are associated with higher risk
