IGF-1 LR3

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Long R3

Long-acting analogue of IGF-1. Directly activates IGF-1 receptors in muscle tissue, promoting satellite cell differentiation (muscle stem cells) and protein synthesis. 3x longer half-life than regular IGF-1.

Dose

10–20mcg per day SubQ or IM near trained muscle

Cycle

4–6 weeks on, 4–6 weeks off

Timing

Post-workout on training days, or morning on non-training days

Benefits & Effects

  • Satellite cell activation (permanent muscle fiber increase)
  • Enhanced nutrient partitioning
  • Direct anabolic effect independent of GH
  • Recovery enhancement
  • Anti-catabolic

Reconstitution & Dosing

Reconstitution

1mg + 3mL BAC = 333mcg/mL. Draw 3 units for 10mcg, 6 units for 20mcg.

Dose

10–20mcg per day SubQ or IM near trained muscle. Start at 10mcg.

Cycle Length

4–6 weeks on, 4–6 weeks off. IGF-1 receptor downregulation occurs with prolonged use.

Timing

Post-workout on training days, or morning on non-training days.
