Description

IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic analog of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), modified to extend its half-life and potency in stimulating cellular growth.

Usage

Commonly used in research for promoting muscle growth, recovery, and tissue repair by enhancing protein synthesis and nutrient uptake.

Mechanism of Action

Binds to IGF-1 receptors in muscle and other tissues, promoting anabolic activity and inhibiting programmed cell death.

Benefits(4)

  • Accelerated muscle growth
  • Enhanced recovery
  • Improved nitrogen retention
  • Increased protein synthesis

Side Effects(3)

  • Joint pain
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Water retention
