Description
IGF-1 LR3 1mg
IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Long Arg3) is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring IGF-1 hormone. It is known for its potent anabolic effects, including muscle growth, fat loss, and enhanced recovery. IGF-1 LR3 is used primarily by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote rapid tissue repair and muscle hypertrophy. It can also support enhanced recovery from injuries and is researched for its potential in anti-aging and improving overall physical performance.
How it works
IGF-1 LR3 works by binding to IGF receptors, which are found on muscle, bone, and other tissues. This binding promotes the synthesis of proteins, increases the uptake of amino acids, and enhances glucose utilization. It also stimulates satellite cell activity, contributing to muscle growth and repair. Additionally, this has been shown to aid in fat metabolism, reducing body fat while maintaining lean muscle mass.
Proper Use and Dosage
This is commonly administered via subcutaneous injection. The typical dosage ranges from 40-120 mcg per day, split into 2-3 doses, usually taken on an empty stomach before meals. Treatment cycles generally last 4-8 weeks, with breaks of several weeks between cycles to prevent desensitization. Dosage and duration can vary based on individual goals, desired effects, and tolerance.
Benefits
The primary benefits include enhanced muscle growth, improved recovery, increased fat loss, and accelerated healing of injuries. It can also improve overall physical performance and promote better sleep quality. The anabolic effects of IGF-1 LR3 make it popular among athletes and bodybuilders looking to maximize their muscle gains and recovery.
Side Effects
IGF-1 LR3 is generally well-tolerated but can cause some side effects, including localized pain or swelling at the injection site, mild nausea, and headaches. In rare cases, users may experience hypoglycemia or blurred vision due to its effects on glucose metabolism. These side effects are typically temporary and resolve with the discontinuation of the peptide or with dose adjustments. As with any peptide, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare provider before use to monitor for any adverse reactions.
