How it works

IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic analogue of insulin-like growth factor 1 with an extended amino-acid sequence and reduced binding to IGF binding proteins, which prolongs its activity. IGF-1 mediates many of the downstream anabolic effects of growth hormone on muscle and other tissue. Human clinical evidence for the LR3 analogue is limited and safety concerns are significant.
