IGF-1 LR3 Peptide Overview
Currently there are 3 versions of injectable IGF-1 peptides on the market:
- IGF-1 DES (or DES IGF-1) with a half-life of just 30 minutes;
- IGF-1 LR3 modification — with an effective half-life of 20-30 hours;
- Base IGF-1 —weaker and quickly dissolved by your body’s natural filtering.
IGF-1 in LR3 modification (meaning Long R3, with extra 13 amino acids and arginine at the 3rd position) by Apoxar is an amino acid analog to a natural IGF-1. It’s more powerful and stays active in your body for a longer period.
LR3 is the most cost-effective IGF-1 version available.
IGF-1 Benefits:
- Significant muscle growth;
- Endurance and strength boost;
- Not synthetic, a natural compound;
- No water retention, no suppression;
- Pharm-grade quality;
- 3rd party lab-tested, independent check.
IGF-1 Cycle and Results
A typical IGF-1 LR3 cycle should last between 6 and 8 weeks. In 6 weeks your receptors get desensitized to the compound, so it requires a 2-3 months pause before you can start a new one.
Injections, regardless of the injection site, whether they’re subcutaneous or intramuscular, should be daily. IGF-1 LR3 has a half-life of 20-30 hours max.
The dosage relies on your aims and other compounds in the stack:
- 20-30 mcg ED — as a first peptide cycle or for beginners;
- 40-50 mcg ED — the most common dose for bodybuilders;
- 60-80 mcg ED — barely popular, but effective, even though it requires some skill and experience with the compound.
As a result of the IGF-1 cycle, you’ll get leaner, see more details of your physique, will get a significant muscle mass boost, and break your own weight records. Even though it’s a relatively safe natural peptide — do NOT abuse it and stay in the healthy frames.
IGF-1 Dosage and Cycle:
- The dosage is 30-80 mcg ED (Every Day);
- Effective cycle duration is 6-8 weeks;
- No need for PCT.
Important Details on IGF-1:
- A natural approach to performance enhancement;
- Has to be reconstituted before an injection;
- Short half-life, only ED protocol is considered effective.
IGF-1 Benefits
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 plays a key role in Somatropin, aka Growth Hormone, production in your body. It also causes a hyperplasia: the growth of new muscle cells, instead of hypertrophy. It also positively affects your metabolic rate. As the result, you get:
- More lean muscle gains, every workout gets more effective;
- Less body fat, especially if you’re on a cutting cycle;
- Strength and performance improvement, as the result of quality muscle mass gains;
- Endurance boost, because of the better muscles oxygenation.
In addition, IGF-1 stimulates protein synthesis, while preventing the breakdown of the muscle cells: it means no setbacks and less catabolic processes.
