IGF-1 LR3 - Use post surgery & when to take it?

[Kauto_star]

Hi all.

I recently had surgery for a pec tear from the tendon so I am going to add IGF-1 LR3 in to my mix to hopefully aid recovery. Already using BCP & TB.

When is the best time to use it please? I have never taken anything like this before, so do I need to be careful of using it around carb intake? The plan is to take 40mcg daily for a month or so to see how it aids my recovery.

Thank you.

IGF-1 LR3 has a relatively long half-life, roughly 24 hours, so timing isn’t critical. Its primary benefit is enhancing nutrient uptake and cellular signaling, meaning overall nutrition quality matters more than precise carbohydrate timing. That said, I would still take the daily dose before the largest meal of the day to help offset its potential hypoglycemic effects.
Also keep in mind that while IGF-1 is often considered the primary anabolic mediator of HGH, HGH itself has important systemic effects that IGF-1 alone cannot replicate, particularly when it comes to connective tissue, tendon, and collagen regeneration.
For that reason, HGH should be considered as well — or ideally combined with IGF-1, as the two have a well-documented synergistic effect, which is especially valuable during recovery from tendon or muscle injuries.

HGH is superior for healing and tissue repair (skin, collagen, tendons, ligaments, nerves).
IGF-1 is superior for muscle hypertrophy and satellite cell activation.

Thank you for this, really informative and will read the link now!

Cool, thanks gains! Will have a look at adding HGH for the time being!

Have you considered low dose HGH over running IGF?

Have you considered low dose HGH over running IGF?

I hadn't but I have looked in to it based on the responses to this thread. I assume that 191AA HGH would be ok to run? Never run GH before so fairly new to what is 'best'.

Here is the protocol that I used after having surgery on my foot. I healed over a month sooner after having the same surgery on the other foot two years prior. My ortho MD was impressed how quickly I recovered. This protocol along with low dose GH......I call it 'Total Body Repair'.

TB 500 and BPC-157 Cycle for Total Body Repair
This protocol utilizes a total of 55mg TB-500 (11 x 5mg vials) and 20mg BPC 157 (4 x 5mg vials) with a 3 week loading phase followed by a 5 week maintenance phase. Note that the BPC-157 dosage amounts are in micrograms (mcg).

Loading Phase
Week 1 - Week 3:
Monday: TB-500 5mg / BPC-157 500mcg
Tuesday & Wednesday: BPC-157 500mcg
Thursday: TB-500 5mg / BPC-157 500mcg
Friday, Saturday & Sunday: BPC-157 500mcg
Maintenance Phase
Week 4 - Week 8:
Monday: TB-500 2.5mg / BPC-157 250mcg
Tuesday & Wednesday: BPC-157 250mcg
Thursday: TB-500 2.5mg / BPC-157 250mcg
Friday, Saturday & Sunday: BPC-157 250mcg


Loading Phase: In weeks 1 through 3, the total weekly dose of 10mg TB-500 ensures a rapid initial buildup of Thymosin Beta 4 for immediate healing and recovery as well a weekly total dose of 3.5mg (3,500mcg) BPC-157 to further stimulate recovery and provide added support for joint and connective tissue (tendon and ligament) healing.

Maintenance Phase: Week 4 begins the maintenance portion of the Total Body Repair cycle with a total weekly dose of 5mg TB-500 and a weekly total dose of 1.75mg (1,750mcg) BPC-157. This continues through week 8 and the end of the cycle.

Again, this cycle is a guideline based on real world results

I hadn't realised that was you, but this is what I have been following since my surgery so thanks for posting originally as I saw it on here before my surgery so wanted to give it a go!
