If you are suffering with the painful and often debilitating effects of fibromyalgia I think this information may be helpful to you.

Clinical studies are showing a correlation between low IGF-1 blood levels and fibromyalgia.

IGF-1 is a major growth factor that is released by the liver in response to human growth hormone (HGH). As we age the amount of growth hormone released by the pituitary gland decreases and so the amount of IGF-1 decreases. There are also instances where younger people are found to have HGH and IGF-1 levels that are low.

Studies have found that those who suffer with fibromyalgia tend to have IGF-1 levels that are less than optimum and treatment to improve their IGF-1 may bring about relief.
