Overview

What is IGF-1 LR3?

IGF-1 LR3 is an 83-amino-acid analog of endogenous insulin-like growth factor 1, engineered with an N-terminal extension that reduces binding to IGFBPs — extending its half-life from ~20 minutes to ~20–30 hours and dramatically increasing free bioactivity.

What is IGF-1 LR3?

IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 IGF-1) is an 83-amino-acid analog of endogenous insulin-like growth factor 1 with an N-terminal extension and a single arginine substitution that dramatically reduces binding to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs).

The result is a plasma half-life of roughly 20–30 hours vs. ~20 minutes for native IGF-1, and 2–3× the free bioactive fraction — making it the most-cited IGF-1 analog in muscle-hyperplasia research.

How does IGF-1 LR3 work?

IGF-1 LR3 binds the IGF-1 receptor, activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR growth pathway that drives protein synthesis and satellite-cell recruitment.

Because it partially escapes IGFBP sequestration, more of it reaches target tissue, producing a stronger anabolic and hyperplastic signal per microgram than native IGF-1.

Research highlights

• Promotes muscle hyperplasia (increased cell number, not just size)

• Enhances nutrient partitioning toward lean tissue

• Synergistic with GH-secretagogue protocols

• Highly potent — small microgram-range doses

Dosing reference (research use)

Common research dosing: 20–50 mcg subcutaneously near the target tissue, post-exercise. Often used in 3–4 week cycles.

1 vial = 1 mg. At 40 mcg/day, a vial covers ~25 days.

Reported side-effect signals

Hypoglycemia risk if administered without carbohydrate context

Injection-site swelling

Localized muscle 'pump' or fullness at high sites

FAQ

Common questions

Is IGF-1 LR3 third-party tested?+

Yes. Every batch of IGF-1 LR3 ships with an HPLC purity report and identity confirmation from an independent lab. Batch numbers are searchable in our Lab Results portal.

How is it shipped?+

Ambient, insulated mailer, discreet plain packaging. Includes BAC water + 12 syringes. Domestic delivery in 24–48h.

Do you ship internationally?+

Currently US only for research supply. International researcher accounts require verification.

What is the shelf life?+

Lyophilized vials remain stable for 12+ months at −20°C. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 30 days.
