Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long Arg3

Cycle: 4-6 Weeks on/4 Weeks off

Timing: Post-Workout

Frequency: daily - post-workout

Uses

Muscle Hyperplasia: Unlike regular growth factors, it can promote hyperplasia—the creation of completely new muscle cells rather than just enlarging existing ones.

Accelerated Recovery: It is used off-label to significantly reduce recovery times after intense physical training or injury by boosting protein synthesis and satellite cell activation.
Metabolic Efficiency: It helps redistribute energy, driving glucose and nutrients directly into muscles while enhancing the body's ability to reduce fat storage.
Extended Bioactivity: The "LR3" modification prevents the peptide from binding to proteins in the body that normally deactivate it, giving it an active half-life of roughly 20 to 30 hours

Complementary products: Wolverine, BPC 157 or GHK-Cu
