The Trifecta Effect - Teddie Miller (Human Growth Hormone / IGF-1) Blood Test (Quest)

This testing package which includes Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) and Growth Hormone (GH) was created based on the recommendation of Teddie Miller, author of The Trifecta Effect.  IGF-1 is a hormone produced by the liver, muscle, and other tissues in response to Growth Hormone production by the pituitary gland and is vital for normal tissue and bone growth and development.   Measuring IGF-1 can be useful for evaluating deficiency or excess of Growth Hormone as well as evaluating pituitary functioning.   GH is produced by the pituitary gland and is needed for a body's normal growth.  GH deficiency in adults can lead to decreased bone density and/or muscle strength and elevated blood lipid levels.


Turnaround for these tests is typically 1-3 business days.
