Just read the IGF-1 question and it rung alarm bells....... checked the cupboard and I found this stuff? Is this illegal?

Hi Reecy

No there's no IGF-1 in this protein product. Yes, this would be illegal to sell if it did. It's just a combination protein powder product.

Hello Reccy,

Crikey, I can see the confusion. Mark, check this out.

This has to be an error in marketing.

Nope, that's how they sell it Dan, strange huh? I ended up looking into this product because of the simple fact a lot of people asked me if it contained IGF-1 , which it doesn't, so i think it's obviously false marketing, however I think USN's view would be for it to catch the eye as people think it will help with IGF-1 levels maybe? I can't see another reason as to why they would market something in the UK which is illegal. USN may need to be pulled up on it, im not sure. What do you think Mark? Or are they entitled to name their product whatever they like? My guess would be the latter.
