IGF-1 LR3 is a modified form of IGF-1, a naturally occurring growth factor structurally similar to insulin. It binds to IGF-1 receptors on cells, activating pathways that promote growth, repair, and metabolic efficiency¹. The LR3 modification extends its half-life to approximately 20-30 hours, allowing for sustained anabolic effects and better systemic distribution².
Unlike IGF-1, IGF-1 LR3 is less likely to bind to IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs), which enhances its availability for cellular uptake³. This modification amplifies its ability to stimulate protein synthesis, promote cell division, and improve glucose metabolism⁴. Additionally, IGF-1 LR3 supports tissue repair by encouraging the proliferation of satellite cells and fibroblasts, making it highly beneficial for recovery from injuries and intense training sessions⁵.
