Description
IGF-1 LR3 (insulin-like growth factor-1 long arginine 3) is a synthetic, modified construct of insulin-like growth factor-1. Because IGF-1 LR3 does not bind to IGF-1 binding proteins very well, it remains active up to 120 times longer than standard IGF-1. This results in improved half-life for the peptide and thus increased activity. IGF-1 LR3 enhances cell division and growth, boosts fat metabolism, and increases muscle repair and hypertrophy by inhibiting myostatin. Recent research suggests that IGF-1 LR3 may also be useful in improving lactation among mothers with young offspring.
More Details
Insulin-like growth factor-1 Long R3 (IGF-1 LR3) is a modified version of the naturally occurring insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). It is a synthetic peptide hormone that has been shown to have anabolic effects on muscle tissue, meaning it helps promote muscle growth and repair. IGF-1 LR3 differs from regular IGF-1 in that it has an additional 13 amino acids on its N-terminal end, which increases its half-life and bioavailability in the body. This makes it more effective at promoting muscle growth than regular IGF-1.
