Lr3 blood work?

[Thebigone]

Anyone ever test Igf levels using lr3? I'm thinking of trying it. Lr3 is a 20hr 1/2 life correct so timing shouldn't matter?

yup, 20-30 hours , so you're only on IGF-1 Lr3, just dose it daily and wait a week or more then go get tested
tell us who's igf when you post the test and if possible do a baseline so we see increase over default

This has been an ongoing question: Does LR3 actually show up on a serum IGF-1 test? My understanding is that is a slightly different and larger molecule:

The polypeptide Long R3 Insulin-like Growth Factor-I (IGF1 LR3) is an 83 amino acid analog of IGF-I actually comprising the complete IGF-1 sequence but with the substitution of an Arginine (Arg) for the Glutamic Acid (Glu) at position 3, as well as a 13 amino acid extension peptide. This sequence change causes IGF-1 LR3 to avoid binding to proteins and allow it to have a much longer half life, around 20-30 hours.

It's been argued whether igf serums would pickup lr3 or not in the past. In theory it shouldn't and lots stood by this. But alpha tested this and his igf serums were elevated, there was a lot of controversy around the results though iirc. It would be interesting for someone to test this actually. Like MisterB said, I would run it daily for a week or two and test. Would be interesting to test weekly but I'm not funding this so do as you see fit brother.

I'd be very interested in this. I've heard one friend say IGF-1 was amazing, and another say it was bogus. Could be a variance in suppliers. Then Rich Piana says it's all fake, but that's Rich Piana...

try the sciroxx IGF , that's the real stuff

I just got the test yesterday. I have been on 3iu humatrope a long time know and know my Igf levels. I started lr3 last Monday at 100mcg then tues, thurs and fri I did 200mcg. Took sat/sun off and Monday at 4pm I shot 100mcg and yesterday at 9am I got bloods do last shot of Igf was 17hrs later. I'm sure it would be more accurate if I stayed on longer but I'm just curious to see if there was any elevation or not. I will keep you posted.

Update: no change in igf levels. Still mid 300's
