IGF-1 LR3 Reference
Educational, not medical advice reference for IGF-1 LR3: Growth Factor; regulatory status, evidence posture, source review, and schedule notes. Also known as…
Reference summary
IGF-1 LR3 was developed primarily as a cell-culture research reagent, not as a human therapeutic. There is no published human clinical program for long-R3 IGF-1 as a research peptide. Community framing extrapolates from recombinant IGF-1 pharmacology.
- Categories
- Growth Factor
- Aliases
- Long R3 IGF-1, Long-R3 IGF-1, Recombinant long-R3 IGF-1
- Evidence posture
- preclinical — WADA-prohibited. No published human clinical program for IGF-1 LR3 as a research peptide. Hypoglycemia, tissue overgrowth, and anti-doping sanction are the principal documented risks.
- Regulatory status
- No FDA-approved IGF-1 LR3 drug label. IGF-1 LR3 is a modified recombinant IGF-1 analog used in cell-culture research and sold in gray-market research-vial form. WADA prohibits IGF-1 and its analogs under category S2 (peptide hormones, growth factors, related substances, and mimetics) at all times, in and out of competition.
