Abstract
A composition for the treatment of osteoporosis and the method of treatment of osteoporosis therewith in mammals is disclosed. The method comprises administering Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) to a mammal in need thereof. Need is determined by bone mineral density levels, whether by single measurement (as compared to the population generally) or by a series of measurements evidencing a loss of bone mineral density, or due to a genetic or familial or other predisposition to bone mineral density loss.
