How many units of IGF-1 LR3 should I draw?

It depends on your vial size, BAC water, and dose. For a 1mg vial with 1mL BAC water, a beginner dose of 20mcg is typically 2 units on a U-100 syringe. Use the calculator above for your exact numbers.

How much BAC water should I add to IGF-1 LR3?

The standard amount is 1mL of bacteriostatic water for a 1mg vial. More water gives a more dilute solution — easier to measure small doses. Less water means fewer injections per vial. Adjust the BAC water slider in the calculator to see how it changes your syringe units.

How long does a IGF-1 LR3 vial last?

At a beginner dose of 20mcg daily, a 1mg vial lasts about 50 doses. The calculator shows exact doses per vial for your selected tier.

What syringe should I use for IGF-1 LR3?

Most people use a U-100 insulin syringe (1mL / 100 units). For very small doses, a U-50 or U-30 syringe gives better precision. The calculator adjusts units automatically for whichever syringe you pick.

Very small draw (2.0 units) — difficult to measure accurately. Consider using less BAC water for a more concentrated solution.

Summary: Add 1mL BAC water to your 1mg vial. Draw to 2.0 units on a U-100 syringe for a 20mcg dose. This vial will last 50 doses.

t½ = ~20-30 hours

After 1 half-life (25h): 50% remainsAfter 2 half-lives (2d): 25% remainsAfter 3 half-lives (3d): 12.5% remains

At a 40mcg dose: 50% = 20mcg remaining after 25h. Recommended frequency: Daily.

Disclaimer: This curve is a simplified first-order exponential decay model. Actual pharmacokinetics vary based on injection site, individual metabolism, body composition, and other factors. Half-life values are approximate and based on available preclinical and clinical literature. Many research peptides lack formal human pharmacokinetic studies.

IGF-1 LR3 Dosing Protocol

Level	Dose / Injection	Frequency
Beginner	20mcg	Daily
Moderate	40mcg	Daily
Aggressive	80mcg	Daily

Note: Long-acting IGF-1 analog (LR3 = Long R3). Much more potent than regular IGF-1. Very low doses — use an insulin syringe for accuracy. Cycle 4-6 weeks on, 4 weeks off. Monitor blood sugar.

About IGF-1 LR3

IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is a modified version of IGF-1 with a much longer half-life and greater potency. IGF-1 is the downstream effector of growth hormone — GH tells the liver to produce IGF-1, which then drives muscle growth (including hyperplasia: the creation of new muscle cells), recovery, and cellular regeneration. The LR3 modification makes it 2-3x more potent with a half-life of 20-30 hours vs 15 minutes for regular IGF-1.
