IGF 1 LR3 100mcg – 10 Vial Kit

IGF 1 LR3 100mcg is a long-acting analog of insulin-like growth factor 1, designed to enhance muscle growth, recovery, and fat metabolism. It offers greater stability and duration than regular IGF-1, making it highly favored in performance enhancement protocols.

IGF 1 LR3 100mcg is sold as a 10 vial kit (each vial contains 100mcg of lyophilized powder) with 10x ampoules of bacteriostatic water.

Description

IGF 1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Long R3) is a synthetic peptide hormone that mimics the natural IGF-1 found in the human body, but with modifications to significantly increase its half-life and bioavailability. It plays a vital role in muscle development, cell repair, and nutrient uptake. The “Long R3” version has been modified to prevent it from binding to IGF-binding proteins, allowing for extended circulation and improved activity.

In athletic and bodybuilding settings, IGF 1 LR3 is used to enhance muscle hypertrophy, promote fat loss, and improve recovery from intense training. It is also favored for its potential to improve insulin sensitivity and enhance nutrient partitioning.

Benefits

  • Promotes muscle growth and hypertrophy

  • Accelerates fat loss through improved nutrient utilization

  • Enhances recovery and cellular repair

  • Increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention

  • Improves insulin sensitivity

  • Enhances performance and endurance

Side effects

  • Joint pain

  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

  • Water retention

  • Injection site irritation

  • Headaches

  • Enlarged organs with long-term high-dose use (rare)

  • Numbness or tingling in hands/feet

Dosages & Protocol
Typical Protocols:

  • Beginners: 20–40mcg per day

  • Intermediate–Advanced Users: 50–100mcg per day

  • Dosage is often split between pre- and post-workout (or bilaterally into target muscles)

  • Can be used 5 days on / 2 days off, or continuously for 4–6 weeks

How to administer – reconstitution & injection
Reconstitution (per vial):

  • Add 1ml of bacteriostatic water to each 100mcg vial

  • Slowly inject water down the side of the vial

  • Gently swirl (do not shake) until fully dissolved

Injection Instructions:

  • Use a 1ml insulin syringe (29–31 gauge)

  • Clean injection site with an alcohol swab

  • Draw desired dose (e.g., 50mcg = 50 units if reconstituted with 1ml)

  • Administer subcutaneously or intramuscularly near the muscle group being trained

  • Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation

  • Dispose of syringes/needles safely

Storage

  • Before reconstitution: Store vials in a refrigerator (2–8°C) or a cool, dark place

  • After reconstitution: Refrigerate (2–8°C) and use within 30 days

Half-life & detectability

  • Half-life: ~20–30 hours (significantly longer than standard IGF-1)

  • Detection time: Can be detected for up to several days depending on testing methods
    For athletes subject to drug testing, it is crucial to consider these detection times to avoid positive tests for banned substances.

Effect on Cycle

Effect on Cycle

  • Increased Muscle Growth:
    • IGF-1 plays a crucial role in muscle hypertrophy by stimulating the growth of new muscle cells (hyperplasia) and enhancing the size of existing muscle fibers. When used in conjunction with anabolic steroids, IGF-1 LR3 can amplify muscle growth by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and encouraging the development of lean muscle tissue.
    • It enhances nutrient partitioning, directing nutrients toward muscle building rather than fat storage. This effect synergizes well with anabolic steroids, which also promote muscle growth.
  • Enhanced Fat Loss:
    • IGF-1 LR3 helps in fat metabolism by promoting lipolysis, the breakdown of fats into fatty acids for energy. This makes it useful during cutting phases of a steroid cycle, where the goal is to reduce body fat while maintaining muscle mass. Combined with steroids, IGF-1 LR3 can lead to a leaner, more defined physique.
    • The nutrient partitioning effect helps users achieve a more vascular and shredded look, as the body becomes more efficient at using fats for fuel while preserving muscle.
  • Improved Recovery and Tissue Repair:
    • One of the major benefits of IGF-1 LR3 is its role in tissue repair and recovery. It accelerates muscle repair after intense training, reduces muscle soreness, and helps athletes recover faster between workouts. This allows users to train harder and more frequently during a steroid cycle, leading to greater gains.
    • The peptide also supports the regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and other connective tissues, making it beneficial for preventing injuries associated with heavy lifting and intense training.
  • Synergistic with Steroids:
    • IGF-1 LR3 works synergistically with anabolic steroids by enhancing their muscle-building effects. While steroids promote protein synthesis and muscle growth through androgen receptors, IGF-1 LR3 works through a different pathway by promoting cellular growth and regeneration. This dual mechanism results in more significant overall gains.
    • It can also help counteract the muscle-wasting effects that might occur during post-cycle therapy (PCT), helping users retain more muscle mass after a steroid cycle.
  • Improved Nutrient Utilization:
    • IGF-1 LR3 improves insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to better utilize carbohydrates and proteins for muscle growth and recovery. This leads to more efficient nutrient absorption, which complements the muscle-building and recovery phases of a steroid cycle.

Side Effects

Side Effects

Taking growth hormone can impact how the body responds to insulin which controls blood glucose levels. Untreated growth hormone deficiency can lead to high cholesterol and osteoporosis. Although growth hormone injections are relatively safe and effective, there are a few side effects. Fortunately, serious side effects are rare.

Swelling, numbness, and joint and muscle aches and pains are the most common side effects. You may experience these side effects if you’re getting more growth hormone than you need.

If you have these symptoms, talk to the physician immediately to adjust the amount of growth hormone you are taking.

Some possible side effects with IGF-1/LR3 could be:

  • Joint pain
  • Muscle pain
  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Hypoglycemia
  • May be associated with an increased risk of developing a number of common cancers, including lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate
