About IGF-1 LR3
IGF-1 LR3 is a 70-amino-acid modified IGF-1 analog with a 13-amino-acid N-terminal extension and arginine substitution at position 3. The modification extends half-life to 20 hours and produces the fastest local hypertrophy response of any growth peptide.
Reported benefits
- Drives 1.9 kg local lean mass over 12 weeks
- Extended 20-hour half-life through reduced IGFBP binding
- Direct IGF-1 receptor activation, no GH conversion required
