IGF-1 LR3 - not seeing much talk here

[latviantower]

I’ve been doing a lot of reading, and I see more than a few recommendations of people saying skip the GLP1 and go straight to HGH. If the point of HGH is the stimulate production of IGF-I, I’m a little surprised that I don’t see more recommendations of proceeding straight to using IGF-I and skipping that intermediate HGH step. That being said, I also haven’t seen any research protocols on this forum for IGF-I. My reading on other research sites has suggested 50-100 mcg daily, 4-6 weeks/4-6 weeks off.

Any feedback? AndyPanda, you seem to be forthcoming with the HGH recommendation- do you have thoughts here? Does anyone else have experiences to share?

Thanks.

No such recommendations here to skip GLPs, at least for losing weight.

There isn't that much talk at Meso about LR3. There is some, but nothing compared to HGH.

Compared to HGH, LR3 is not as well researched or understood, including regarding side effects. HGH is at least FDA approved for some things.

For better or worse, LR3 also has a longer half-life than HGH. My new favorite single-vial reseller, Grey Axis ("a chemical supplier"), has LR3 on their website. Amino Annex also sells it by the vial.

But the lack of research articles on LR3 is still very concerning. There are no human studies. There is a positive article on the Meso site, but it mentions bilateral injection for the muscle group just trained:

And I just read that low-strength acetic acid is needed for recon:

LR3 needs to be reconstituted with .05% (NOT .5%) acetic acid solution versus Bacteriostatic Water that is more readily available. Because it is reconstituted in an acid, after drawing your dose into your needle for administration you should backload another 15+ units of Bacteriostatic Water into the syringe to reduce the PH. The acetic acid is needed while in the vial so that it doesn’t degrade but adding water into the syringe right before administration will be better than injecting it as an acid. This will also help it disperse into the tissue further.

The author of that blog post says he rather just take GHRP instead, due to the complexity of LR3 recon/administration.

On the positive side, LR3 seems less illicit than HGH. Though LR3 is an unapproved drug, it is not specifically mentioned in federal regulations like HGH.

I knoow several guys on blast whoo have replaced HGH with LR3. They swear by it. I am still using HGH myself. It is what I know and fully understand. I may give LR3 ago next cycle.
