Specifically, it produces no IGF-1 elevation (avoiding proliferative concerns), no negative impact on glucose metabolism (avoiding diabetes risk), no fluid retention or edema, and no concerning patterns of joint pain that can occur with growth hormone
[5] Researchers should be cautious when interpreting effects that appear only at high concentrations, especially if those effects are accompanied by reduced cell viability, stress-response signatures, broad transcriptional disruption, or vehicle-sensitive assay behavior
In addition, combination of NNMTi with exercise further increases systemic energy expenditure, accelerates fat breakdown, and enhances muscle strength and endurance
