IGF-1 LR3 is extremely potent — doses are in micrograms. Administer with food or carbohydrates to mitigate hypoglycemia risk. Use the peptide calculator for precise reconstitution.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water or 0.6% acetic acid (depending on supplier formulation). IGF-1 LR3 is sensitive to agitation — swirl gently, do not shake. Ensure complete dissolution before use.
Timing & Cycles
Typical cycles run 4–6 weeks. Some protocols recommend 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off to prevent receptor desensitization. Post-workout administration is common for localized muscle effects. Have glucose/carbohydrates available due to hypoglycemia risk.
Storage
- Lyophilized: -20°C for long-term
- Reconstituted: 2–8°C, use within 28 days
- Extremely sensitive to heat — never leave at room temperature
