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.
