IGF-1 LR3

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3) is a synthetic, long-acting analog of human IGF-1. It plays a key role in cell growth, repair, and regeneration, with a modified structure that greatly extends its half-life and potency compared to natural IGF-1.

Research Overview

Key Benefits

  1. Muscle Growth & Repair
    • Stimulates muscle cell hyperplasia (creation of new muscle cells) and hypertrophy (growth of existing cells).
    • Enhances recovery after intense training or injury.
  2. Improved Recovery & Performance
    • Accelerates tissue repair in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.
    • Supports faster bounce-back between training sessions.
  3. Fat Metabolism
    • Promotes fat utilization for energy, potentially improving body composition.
  4. Anti-Aging & Cellular Health
    • Supports collagen production and tissue regeneration.
    • May help maintain organ and skin health.
  5. Bone & Joint Support
    • Stimulates bone growth and repair, aiding skeletal strength.

Why It’s Effective

  • The “LR3” modification replaces arginine at position 3 and adds a 13-amino-acid extension, making it resistant to binding proteins that normally limit IGF-1’s activity.
  • This gives IGF-1 LR3 a half-life of ~20–30 hours versus minutes for native IGF-1, allowing greater systemic effects.

Important Notes

  • Typically used in research via subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.
  • Not FDA-approved for human medical use; sold for research purposes only.
  • Most evidence is from animal studies, with limited controlled human data.
  • Potential side effects: hypoglycemia, joint pain, or soft tissue swelling.
