What is MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)?
MGF is a chain of 24 amino acids made in a laboratory. It copies the tail end of one particular version of the IGF-1 gene's product, a version whose levels rise in muscle after exercise or injury. That tail piece is what researchers named mechano growth factor. It is worth knowing that nobody has yet found this 24-link piece floating free in tissue or body fluid, so it is best treated as a research chemical rather than as something the body is known to make on its own.

MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) Research & Reference
What MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) does in published studies, and how to work with it in the laboratory, are covered in full on two dedicated pages rather than summarised here, so neither the evidence nor the handling detail is cut short.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) third-party tested for purity?+−
Yes. Every batch of MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is tested by an independent third-party laboratory using HPLC and MS-UPLC, confirming purity and mass identity before the batch is released. Pure Peptides does not test its own material.
What does "Research Use Only" mean?+−
It means MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research and for no other purpose, and must not be administered to humans or animals. MGF is legal to purchase in the United States for in vitro and non-clinical laboratory research. It carries no FDA approval or therapeutic indication for human use. As a mechano growth factor (MGF) E-peptide, MGF appears in section S2 of the WADA Prohibited List for competitive athletes, a separate consideration from its legal research status. Sold strictly for qualified research use, not human or veterinary administration.
How is MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) shipped and stored?+−
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) ships from US stock with cold-chain packaging and full tracking; orders placed before noon EST on business days are typically dispatched the same business day. On arrival, store the lyophilized powder at -20°C or below, dry and protected from light.
Do published studies agree on what MGF does?+−
No. Two groups reported that the synthetic E peptide activates human muscle progenitor cells and improves muscle cell transplantation. A 2014 study from two pharmaceutical companies attempted to reproduce the core claims and found no significant effect on myoblasts, on primary mouse muscle stem cells, or on the signaling response the peptide was reported to trigger in cardiac myocytes, while IGF-1 produced a robust response in the same experiment. Its authors concluded that the results call into question whether MGF has a physiological role. Researchers should read both sides before designing a study.
