igf-1 is closely related to growth hormone (it's actually made from growth hormone in the liver). Bovine colostrum and deer velvet extract are thought to increase it.

IGF-1 basically encourages cell prolifiration, which would encourage cancer (and also breast enlargement, for obvious reasons). However, if you're low on it, supplementing shouldn't be a problem. It's definitely something you want to be careful with though!
