Why Buy IGF-1 LR3 1mg from Peptide Scientists

IGF-1 LR3 is the long-lived analog of insulin-like growth factor-1 — engineered for ~20-30 hour activity vs the 12-15 minute half-life of native IGF-1. Buying it online provides access to the most studied anabolic peptide in muscle research.

Our 1mg vial is the standard research format. ≥98% HPLC and SDS-PAGE verified purity, sourced from Phiogen with full documentation.

$79.99 for the 1mg vial — covers extended research protocols at the standard 20-50mcg/day dose.

About IGF-1 LR3 1mg

IGF-1 LR3 (Long Arg3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1, CAS: 946870-92-4) is a recombinant analog of native IGF-1 with two modifications: an N-terminal 13-amino acid extension and an Arg substitution at position 3 (replacing glutamic acid).

These modifications reduce IGFBP (IGF binding protein) affinity by >1000-fold. Native IGF-1 is >99% bound to IGFBPs in circulation, limiting bioavailability. IGF-1 LR3 remains in free, active form with a half-life of approximately 20-30 hours — a ~100× increase.

Mechanism: activates the IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R, a receptor tyrosine kinase), driving the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway (protein synthesis, cell growth, satellite cell activation) and Ras/MAPK pathway (proliferation, differentiation).

Key Features

  • 100× longer half-life than native IGF-1 (20-30 hours vs 12-15 minutes)
  • IGFBP-independent — remains in free active form
  • PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway activation for protein synthesis
  • Standard anabolic research peptide
  • ≥98% HPLC verified, free US shipping over $200

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between IGF-1 LR3 and regular IGF-1?
IGF-1 LR3 has a position 3 arginine substitution and N-terminal extension that reduce IGFBP binding by >1000-fold. This extends half-life from minutes to hours and allows the peptide to remain in free, active form.
How is IGF-1 LR3 administered?
Subcutaneous injection at 20-50mcg/day in standard research protocols. The 1mg vial covers 20-50 days at this dose. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.1% BSA carrier, or 0.1% acetic acid.
Does IGF-1 LR3 stack with GH-releasing peptides?
Yes — IGF-1 LR3 is downstream of growth hormone in the HPG axis. Stacking with GH secretagogues (CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, Sermorelin) is common in research protocols studying anabolic synergy.
Why is IGF-1 LR3 stored differently from other peptides?
IGF-1 LR3 is more delicate than typical research peptides. Lyophilized: -80°C ideal, -20°C acceptable. Reconstituted: 4°C for up to 7 days only. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
