IGF 1 LR3 1MG

IGF-1 LR3 is engineered to be more potent and longer-lasting than natural IGF-1. It has an altered amino acid sequence that significantly reduces its binding to proteins in the bloodstream that normally inactivate it. This gives it a much longer half-life (several hours vs. minutes for natural IGF-1)

Its primary mechanism is to mimic and amplify the effects of natural IGF-1 by binding to the IGF-1 receptors on various cells throughout the body. This binding triggers powerful anabolic (tissue-building) signals.

The anecdotal key effects sought after in bodybuilding are:

• Hyperplasia (Cell Division): This is its most unique and sought-after effect. While most anabolic agents like steroids cause hypertrophy (making existing muscle cells larger), IGF-1 LR3 is theorized to stimulate hyperplasia (creating new muscle cells). This is a controversial claim in humans, but it is the primary reason for its allure.

• Hypertrophy (Cell Growth): It strongly promotes the growth and enlargement of existing muscle cells by increasing protein synthesis and amino acid uptake.

• Nutrient Partitioning: It enhances the transport of glucose and amino acids into muscle cells, making the body more efficient at using nutrients for growth and recovery instead of fat storage. This effect is very similar to insulin.

• Fat Loss: It can promote lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and improve metabolic rate.

• Enhanced Recovery: It significantly speeds up the repair of muscle tissue damaged by intense training, reducing soreness and allowing for more frequent, intense workouts.

How is it (Theoretically) Used in Bodybuilding?

The use of IGF-1 LR3 is entirely based on anecdotal reports and underground protocols. There is no medically approved dosing schedule.

• Administration: It is administered via subcutaneous (subQ) or intramuscular (IM) injection. A common practice is "site injection," where it is injected into a specific muscle group after training it, with the goal of triggering localized growth in that muscle (e.g., injecting into a bicep after an arm workout).

• Dosing: Doses are extremely variable and risky. They are typically measured in micrograms (mcg). Anecdotal reports often suggest a range of 20-100+ mcg per day.

• Cycles: It is usually used in cycles lasting 4-6 weeks, as its effectiveness is believed to diminish due to receptor desensitization.
