MGF (5 mg Vial)
Mechano growth factor is the IGF-1Ec splice variant produced by muscle under mechanical load. It differs from systemic IGF-1 in its C-terminal E domain, and that domain is what the MGF literature is about.

About MGF (5 mg Vial)
This is the unconjugated form. PEG-MGF carries a polyethylene glycol chain that greatly extends its stability, so the two are not interchangeable and molar calculations differ between them. This listing is the 5 mg vial.
Like everything in the Secretagogues range, this vial is lyophilized, sealed, and accompanied by third-party purity documentation for its batch.
Research applications

Handling, reconstitution and storage
Store the sealed vial of lyophilized MGF at -20°C, protected from light. Allow it to reach room temperature before opening so that moisture does not condense onto the powder.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water directed down the inside wall of the vial rather than onto the cake, and swirl instead of shaking — mechanical agitation is the most common cause of degradation in peptide handling. Keep reconstituted solution at 2-8°C and validate its working life for your own assay conditions.
Frequently asked questions
- How is MGF (5 mg Vial) supplied and stored?
- It ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. Store the lyophilized product at -20°C protected from light; once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2-8°C and use it within the window your protocol validates.
- Is a certificate of analysis available?
- Yes. Every batch is independently tested by a US laboratory and verified to exceed 99% purity by HPLC/MS. Request the COA for your batch number and we will send the report.
- How long does delivery take?
- Orders dispatch within two business days and ship within the United States. Delivery cost is confirmed with your quote.
- Can MGF (5 mg Vial) be used in humans or animals?
- No. This product is sold strictly for research, laboratory and analytical purposes. Human and animal consumption is prohibited.
