  • Extended half-life (LR3)

Side Effects

  • Hypoglycemia risk
  • Organ growth concerns at high doses
  • Injection site pain

Contraindications

  • Active cancer
  • Diabetes (hypoglycemia risk)

Evidence Summary

Studies show significant muscle hypertrophy and improved recovery compared to GH.

Research

Studies show significant muscle hypertrophy and improved recovery. Often compared to growth hormone effects.

Safety

Potential for hypoglycemia. Organ growth concerns at high doses.

Serious muscle growth 2026-06-28
Jessica F.

IGF-LR3 is the most potent muscle-building peptide I've used. Hypertrophy is noticeable within 2 weeks. Recovery between workouts is dramatically faster. The extended half-life of LR3 makes it superior to regular IGF-1. Handle with respect - this is powerful.

IGF-LR3 delivers on muscle growth. Pump is incredible, recovery is fast. The LR3 variant lasts 20-30 hours which is much better than DES. Need to be careful with blood sugar - can cause hypoglycemia. Not for beginners.
