IGF-1 LR3

Key Benefits

• Muscle Growth & Recovery – Stimulates muscle cell proliferation and differentiation.

• Fat Reduction – Enhances fat oxidation while preserving lean tissue mass.

• Cellular Repair & Regeneration – Promotes healing of tissues, nerves, and organs through enhanced protein synthesis.

• Anti-Aging Properties – Supports skin elasticity, organ regeneration, and neuroprotective pathways.

• Improved Strength & Endurance – Increases muscular endurance and recovery speed post-exercise.

Mechanism of Action

• IGF-1 LR3 mimics the natural effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 but with increased potency due to reduced binding to IGF-binding proteins.

• It acts on IGF-1 receptors in muscle and connective tissue, promoting protein synthesis, cell division, and nitrogen retention.

• The “Long R3” modification extends the peptide’s half-life, enhancing systemic effects for tissue growth and metabolic activity.

Dosage Recommendations

• Typical Dosage – Research protocols often use 20–100 mcg per day, adjusted based on study goals.

• Administration – Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, often near targeted muscle groups.

• Cycling – Commonly used in 4–6 week research phases for muscle regeneration or metabolic enhancement.

Research and Studies

• Animal and in vitro studies show enhanced muscle hypertrophy, tissue regeneration, and post-injury recovery.

• Explored for its benefits in burn patients, wound healing, and neurodegenerative disorders.

• Research indicates improved glycemic control and anti-inflammatory action in some metabolic models.

Possible Side Effects and Contraindications

• Common Side Effects – May include mild hypoglycemia, joint pain, or injection site irritation.

• Precautions – Use caution in research involving cancer models, as IGF-1 may promote cell proliferation.

• Drug Interactions – May potentiate the effects of growth hormone and anabolic agents.

Storage and Handling Instructions

• Store reconstituted IGF-1 LR3 in a refrigerator at 2–8°C (36–46°F).

• Lyophilized powder should be kept in a cool, dry, and dark place before reconstitution.

• Use sterile technique when preparing and administering the peptide to ensure safety and stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• How is IGF-1 LR3 different from regular IGF-1?
  IGF-1 LR3 has a longer half-life and stronger systemic activity, making it more potent and effective in research.

• Can it be stacked with other peptides?
  Yes — it is commonly combined with growth hormone, CJC-1295, or TB-500 in regenerative and muscle-building studies.

• When are results typically seen in studies?
  Cellular changes and performance benefits can appear within 1–2 weeks of consistent use.
