		<description><![CDATA[this is a load of hooey.
IGF-1 is insulin-like growth factor. I&#039;m not an expert on the effects of IGF-1, but it&#039;s not a component of HGH, it&#039;s a totally different protein.  if you ingested lots of it, it would probably help you build muscle in a way similar to HGH, but even doesn&#039;t have clear effects on healthy pro athletes (it&#039;s great for 60 year old men) 
once ground up, freeze dried, and put into a bottle, however much IGF-1 is present, it&#039;s probably degraded into nothing. even if it&#039;s not, it probably doesn&#039;t get past your lungs very well, and if it does, it&#039;s not enough of a dose to make you &quot;feel great&quot;. there are probably many, many better sources of IGF-1 than deer antlers, and if we are going to worry about i doubt we should worry about this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stopped leaving comments on this site after you guys updated it so I had to make yet another new log-in but this article has brought me back into this game.

This is the most ridiculous thing ever when it comes to &quot;PED&quot; use.  Where are they going to draw the line?  Honestly, if a player essentially wants to eat a deers antlers to try an get an edge I don&#039;t see the problem.  Are we going to ban players from eating venison steak next?  That has protein in it; protein helps build muscle, too.  I am all for banning the synthetic PEDs, steroids, etc.  Those can be legitimately bad for a person&#039;s long term health.  Really, if you&#039;re ingesting antlers that should be viewed more as an act of desperation like wearing those silly necklaces than a ban-worthy offense.]]></description>
