Abusing the medication, especially by overdosing, causes a few debilitating side effects
Vitamin C enhances glutathione absorption and glow
Local viral delivery of the IGF-I isoforms promoted muscle hypertrophy in young mice, and the effect was isoform- and age-dependent: in growing animals both IGF-IA and IGF-IB enlarged muscle, whereas in older (six-month) animals only IGF-IA produced significant hypertrophy, suggesting the bioavailability or receptor affinity of the IGF-IB isoform diminishes with age
One major obstacle is the difficulty in translating animal model results into human clinical settings due to species-specific variations in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and the complexity of arrhythmias in human patients
