IGF-1 LR3 1mg (Sinoway)

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a compound produced through recombinant DNA technology. This factor is the main mediator of the growth-enhancing effects of human growth hormone. Consequently, it can promote the growth of bones, muscles, and internal organs. Its impact on skeletal muscle is notably hyperplasic, resulting in an increase in cell number. However, unlike human growth hormone, IGF-1 exhibits very pronounced insulin-like effects. It can facilitate growth by enhancing the uptake of amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids, but it can also lower blood sugar levels so effectively that taking a dose that is too high may lead to severe hypoglycemia.

IGF-1 also produces various anabolic effects in the body, such as boosting protein synthesis, enhancing nitrogen retention, and promoting the growth of additional muscle fibers. When a suitable amount of amino acids (protein) is present, all these processes can take place effectively. It has been shown that IGF-1 can aid in collagen production and cartilage regeneration in joints. Additionally, this hormone has demonstrated the ability to act as a neuroprotector and promoter, primarily due to the presence of IGF-1 receptors in brain tissue. Evidence suggests that supplementing with IGF-1 could potentially slow the progression of certain brain diseases and reduce the decline in brain function among some elderly individuals.

Regarding IGF-1 dosing, users have reported positive outcomes with daily doses ranging from 100 to 160 mcg. This total dose is typically divided into multiple injections, most of which are likely administered after workouts.
