Pegylated Mechano-growth factor (PEG-MGF) is a truncated and slightly altered form of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).
 
Pegylation is a process of attaching polyethylene glycol to another chemical compound. It is often done to reduce the body’s natural immune reaction to an agent or, as in the case of PEG-MGF, to increase the half-life of the compound in the blood by reducing clearance in the kidneys. Pegylation is common, safe, and has a number of advantages.

Description
PEG-MGF is a split variant of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) IGF-1 -> MGF
It can be found in muscles, bones, tendons, brain, and heart tissues
The primary focus is to promote faster recovery from muscle damage
