What is IGF-1 DES (1-3)?

Short-acting IGF-1 analog with strong local anabolic signaling.

Activates IGF-1 receptor and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways to increase protein synthesis and satellite-cell activity.

Typical dose: Typical: 50–150 mcg/day SubQ (often post-workout). Short cycles (2–4 weeks). More potent than LR3.

~20-30 minutes

Preparation: Mix a 1 mg vial with 1 mL bac water → 1,000 mcg/mL. A 100 mcg dose = 0.1 mL = 10 units.
Reconstitution: Reconstitute a 1 mg vial with 1 mL BAC water → 1 mg/mL. A 100 mcg dose = 0.1 mL = 10 units on a U-100 syringe.
