What is IGF-1 LR3?

IGF-1 LR3 is a changed, longer-lasting version of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1, a growth signal the liver makes). It was built to dodge the proteins that normally clear natural IGF-1 from the blood quickly. In animal research it is studied for muscle growth and repair, by waking up muscle stem cells. This site's review found no studies in people for it, only animal and lab data. It is not FDA approved.
