IGF-1 and a serum growth hormone level in one fasting draw — the steady marker and the snapshot, read together, for anyone monitoring a growth-hormone or secretagogue protocol or completing a pituitary work-up with their provider. Growth hormone and IGF-1 are two views of the same axis, and they are most useful side by side. GH is released by the pituitary in short pulses — mostly during deep sleep and after exercise — so a single serum GH level is a snapshot that can read near zero in a healthy adult; IGF-1, made by the liver in response to GH, holds steady through the day and is the marker clinicians use to judge overall GH activity, reported here with an age- and sex-adjusted Z-score. Together they answer the two questions a GH-related protocol raises: is the signal there (GH), and is the body responding (IGF-1). What this pair does not do is diagnose growth hormone deficiency or excess — that is made with stimulation or suppression testing under a clinician — so read a low or high result as a reason to talk to your provider, not a diagnosis. Draw fasting, in the morning, after 30 minutes of rest; if you inject peptides, draw at trough so the numbers compare from cycle to cycle. Both tests run at Quest or Labcorp (BioReference in New York and New Jersey). ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/igf-1-test) | 1 (IGF-1) | $37.99 | 84305 | | [Growth Hormone (GH), Serum](https://www.test-well.com/tests/growth-hormone) | 1 (Growth Hormone (GH)) | $49.99 | — | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $79.99 | $85.99 | Choose at checkout | | Labcorp | $79.99 | $85.99 | Choose at checkout | | BioReference (NY & NJ) | $79.99 | $85.99 | New York and New Jersey orders route here automatically | ## How much does a GH + IGF-1 Panel cost?

With insurance you pay your plan's negotiated rate against your deductible; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and HSA/FSA-eligible. | Where you order | Price | One test, all-in | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | TestWell (drawn at Quest or Labcorp) | $79.99 | $85.99 | Includes the one $6 lab processing fee, charged once per order | ## How do you prepare? Fast 8–12 hours (water is fine) and sit quietly for 30 minutes before the draw. Morning draw preferred; if you inject peptides, draw at trough — before the next dose. Stop high-dose biotin 72 hours before (immunoassay). Keep prescribed medications unless your prescriber says otherwise. ## Common questions about the GH + IGF-1 Panel ### How long does it take to get GH + IGF-1 Panel results? GH + IGF-1 Panel results are typically ready in 2–4 business days after your draw at Quest or Labcorp. TestWell emails you the moment they post, and your results dashboard shows each marker against its reference range with a plain-English explanation. ### Do I need to fast, or can I eat before a GH + IGF-1 Panel? Yes. Fast 8–12 hours (water is fine) and sit quietly for 30 minutes before the draw. Morning draw preferred; if you inject peptides, draw at trough — before the next dose. Stop high-dose biotin 72 hours before (immunoassay). Keep prescribed medications unless your prescriber says otherwise. The [fasting before blood work guide](https://www.test-well.com/prep/fasting) covers how long to fast, what you can drink, and which results eating changes. ### What can throw off a GH + IGF-1 Panel result? Peptides and GLP-1s can change a GH + IGF-1 Panel result without anything being wrong. Peptides and GLP-1s can raise IGF-1 — the marker that shows the peptide is working — and the one to keep inside the age-adjusted reference range. Each is explained on our physician-reviewed "Before your test" pages; when one applies, remove it and retest. ### Where can I get a GH + IGF-1 Panel near me without a doctor? Order the GH + IGF-1 Panel online from TestWell for $79.99 (plus a $6 per-order lab processing fee) — no doctor's visit, referral or insurance needed.
