Overview

IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic 83-amino acid analog of insulin-like growth factor-1 that has never been approved for human use. The N-terminal extension and R3 substitution reduce binding protein interaction, maintaining elevated free circulating levels with ~3x greater potency than native IGF-1.
