Side-by-side comparison
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) vs LL-37 Truncated Variants (KR-12 / KS-30)
IGF-1Ec splice variant released by mechanical loading; activates muscle satellite cells. versus Shorter active fragments of LL-37 (KR-12, KS-30) with retained antimicrobial activity but lower toxicity.
MGF (Mechano Growth Factor)
PerformanceIGF-1Ec splice variant released by mechanical loading; activates muscle satellite cells.
Top benefits
- ✓Satellite cell activation
- ✓Local muscle hypertrophy
- ✓Fiber repair after damage
LL-37 Truncated Variants (KR-12 / KS-30)
RecoveryShorter active fragments of LL-37 (KR-12, KS-30) with retained antimicrobial activity but lower toxicity.
Top benefits
- ✓Antimicrobial activity preserved
- ✓Lower hemolysis vs full LL-37
- ✓Wound healing research
