- Long R3 IGF-1, LR3-IGF-1
Route only. This library does not publish doses or protocols.
02 / Mechanism
How it is thought to work
Long-acting modified IGF-1 that directly drives muscle growth and lowers blood sugar
Mechanisms seen in cells or animals do not always happen the same way in people.
03 / Potential benefits
What people use it for
Muscle growth, recovery
Animal or no human data
No meaningful human data. Effects and safety in people are unknown, which is not the same as safe.
Listed uses are what people use it for, not proven outcomes.
04 / Known risks
Side effects and risks
Low blood sugar (can be dangerous), organ growth, theoretical cancer-growth risk
Risk level 9 of 10
High risk score: serious harms are documented or plausible, and there is little data to rule them out.
Unknown long-term effects count as a risk, not as a clean record.
05 / Regulatory
Regulatory status
- Status
- Not approved
- Details
- Not approved
- Sport (WADA)
- Yes: S2 (peptide hormones / GH factors)
Status reflects information up to mid-2026 and changes over time. Check current sources.
06 / Evidence quality
How good is the evidence?
07 / Notes and sources
Notes and sources
- Growth-factor peptides carry a theoretical risk of feeding existing cancers.
- Animal only means effects and safety in humans are unknown, not that they are proven safe.
- Products sold online as research peptides are unregulated. Tests of such products often find wrong amounts, impurities or a different compound.
- Anyone using compounds like this regularly should have medical supervision and bloodwork (for example IGF-1, glucose and HbA1c, hormones, lipids).
- Source: Peptide Reference Table, an editorial review of published research up to mid-2026. Scores are 1 to 10 editorial estimates, not measured values. Regulatory and WADA status change over time.
