IGF-1 LR3 Dosage Calculator

IGF-1 LR3 is a long-acting analog of insulin-like growth factor 1 typically dosed daily or post-workout. Enter your vial size, the bacteriostatic water you'll add, and your target dose — the visual syringe below shows exactly where to pull the plunger.

mg

Common vial size for IGF-1 LR3 is 1 mg (1,000 mcg).

mL

= 0.1 mg | Typical range 50–150 mcg (0.05–0.15 mg) per injection.

1 mg = 1,000 mcg (micrograms). Most peptide protocols are written in mcg.

About IGF-1 LR3 dosing

IGF-1 LR3 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Long R3) is an 83 amino acid analog with an arginine substitution at position 3 and a 13 amino acid N-terminal extension. This modification extends its half-life to roughly 20–30 hours and reduces binding to IGF-binding proteins, increasing bioavailability. Research protocols commonly use 50–150 mcg daily, injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly, often post-workout to capitalize on nutrient partitioning.

Standard cycle length is 4–6 weeks on followed by an equal-length off period to restore natural IGF-1 sensitivity. Always start at the lower end of the range and assess tolerance.

Step by step

Reconstitution walkthrough

Every step below uses the numbers you entered above.

  1. 1
    Wipe both stoppers

    Swab the rubber tops of the 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 vial and the bacteriostatic water vial with fresh alcohol pads. Let them air dry for a few seconds.

  2. 2
    Draw 1 mL of BAC water

    Pull 1 mL of bacteriostatic water into a reconstitution syringe (usually a 3 mL syringe with a 21g needle).

  3. 3
    Add water slowly, down the side

    Inject the water against the inside wall of the vial, don't blast it directly onto the powder. This protects the peptide from shear damage.

  4. 4
    Swirl, don't shake

    Gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved and the liquid is clear. Never shake, foaming denatures the peptide.

  5. 5
    Draw 10 units on a 1 mL syringe

    On your 100-unit (1 mL) insulin syringe, pull the plunger back until the rubber tip lines up with 10, that's your 100 mcg dose. Tap out any air bubbles, then inject as directed.

  6. 6
    Store refrigerated

    Cap the vial and store at 2–8 °C (36–46 °F). Most reconstituted peptides remain stable for 3–4 weeks refrigerated.
