IGF-1 LR3

FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY

IGF-1 LR3 is a research peptide and not approved by any medical board.

IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor) is an endocrine hormone that is produced in the liver. The production of IGF-1 is increased in the presence of growth hormone. There are many different types of cells in the body that are equipped with a receptor to accept IGF-1. This makes IGF-1 a good protagonist at targeting tissues to spur cell to cell communication (growth) or in a more autocrine cell signaling process that facilitates cell division

 

What does IGF-1 LR3 do?

Helps regulate fat for use as energy, resulting in fat loss.

Contributes to anti aging. As we get older, IGF-1 production slows down and this results in cell reduction. Low levels of IGF-1 are linked to heart failure, lower brain cell regulation and neuron function. Not to mention muscle tissue breakdown.

Helps to increase nutrient shuttling (protein synthesis).

Increases regenerative functions of nerve tissues.

Boosts the ability to cause hyperplasia in muscle cells resulting in fuller muscle tissue.

 

Dosing and Injections

IGF-1 LR3 can be taken 7 days a week at a dose of 50-150mcg a day. Desensitization was shown to occur at around 40 days or roughly 4 weeks. Injection sites can be at any muscle group on the body, as it’s not very good at site specific growth.

 

Side Effects

It should be noted that high doses of IGF-1 have been known to cause hypoglycemia, but nowhere near the level of insulin. It is also noted, and highly debated, that IGF-1 was shown to increase tumor size in cancer patients. While this fact may be true in patients with existing cancer, IGF-1 is not the cause of cancer; in fact, our bodies need IGF-1 to regulate heart function, nervous system and brain cell stimulation. People with low IGF-1 levels were found to have low protein counts and low lean body mass, which, in turn, can be equally unhealthy. If you have a headache, you don’t take a whole bottle of Aspirin. Likewise, to guard yourself from making ignorant mistakes, IGF-1 should be administered properly , and never abused.
