BODY PHARM ~ IGF 1 LR3 100mcg - Single Vial

Description

IGF-1 LR3 is a hormone that functions as the major mediator of growth hormone (GH)-stimulated somatic growth, as well as a mediator of GH-independent anabolic responses in many cells and tissues. Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 is a small peptide (molecular weight 7647) that circulates in serum bound to high affinity binding proteins. It is an unusual peptide in this regard since it is more than 99 percent protein-bound.

It is synthesized by multiple mesenchymal cell types. As a result, there are two major mechanisms of IGF-1 regulation:

●IGF-1 that is synthesized in the liver and secreted into the blood is under the control of GH.

●Autocrine/paracrine IGF-1 is synthesized in peripheral tissues, such as bone. Its synthesis is controlled by GH and by factors that are secreted locally by the surrounding cell types. Some of the secreted autocrine/paracrine IGF-1 enters the systemic circulation. Therefore, understanding the regulation of autocrine/paracrine synthesis of this peptide is necessary to interpret changes in serum IGF-1 concentrations.

Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 exerts its effects via activation of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 receptor. This receptor is widely distributed, which enables blood-transported IGF-1 to coordinate balanced growth among multiple tissues and organs. In contrast, autocrine/paracrine Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 can stimulate local, unbalanced growth independently of systemic GH. Examples of this type of growth regulation are wound healing and growth of the contralateral kidney after unilateral nephrectomy.

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

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
