Defaults match this guide (1 mg + 1 mL BAC). Change water or dose and the unit tables below update automatically.
Step 1
Reconstitution
Peptide amount in the vial and how much bacteriostatic water you add.
Step 2
Your dose
This guide uses microgram-scale research doses — quick picks are in mcg (100 mcg = 0.1 mg).

Research cycle phases
Units and volumes recompute from your Step 1 concentration (1 mL BAC → 1.00 mg/mL · 10.0 mcg/unit). Doses below are once daily during the course — not weekly.
Standard course
Secondary educational tables commonly discuss ~20–50 mcg once daily for about 4–6 weeks, then time off. Higher amounts increase hypoglycemia and IGF-pathway risk discussions. Not a beginner recovery peptide.
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Days 1–14 (intro) | 20 mcg0.02 mg | 2 u | 0.02 mL20 mcg daily — common educational start |
| Days 15–42 (standard) | 40 mcg0.04 mg | 4 u | 0.04 mL40 mcg daily — mid common research-community range |
Alternate / higher courses
Shorter or higher daily courses discussed in research communities — not a clinical recommendation
| Phase | Daily dose | Units | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| Higher educational · 50 mcg × 28 days | 50 mcg0.05 mg | 5 u | 0.05 mL50 mcg daily — upper end of many conservative tables |
| Higher educational · 80 mcg × 21 days | 80 mcg0.08 mg | 8 u | 0.08 mLAbove many conservative charts — educational only; hypoglycemia risk rises |

Bacteriostatic water
1 × 3 mL bottle
1 mL BAC per vial × 2 vials = 2.0 mL total. Buy as 1× 3 mL bottle or 1× 10 mL bottle (whichever you stock).
U-100 insulin syringes (100-unit)
42+ syringes
About one 100-unit syringe per injection for this schedule. Keep a few spares.

Wipe vial stopper and injection site each time. Dispose needles in a proper sharps container.
Reconstitution steps
- Allow the lyophilized 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 vial and bacteriostatic water to reach room temperature.
- Draw 1.0 mL bacteriostatic water (default). Some researchers use acetic acid diluent protocols for IGF products — follow your validated lab method.
- Inject diluent slowly down the inner wall — avoid foaming.
- Gently swirl until clear. Do not shake hard.
- Label with recon date and concentration.
- Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Prefer finishing within the short course window.
Storage
Lyophilized
Keep dry powder cold and dark when possible (−20 °C / −4 °F preferred for long-term research stock).
Reconstituted
Refrigerate at 2–8 °C (35–46 °F). Avoid freeze–thaw of the working solution. Prefer finishing within ~28 days.
- ·Write recon date and BAC volume on the label.
- ·Protect from light during storage.
- ·Discard if cloudy, particulates, or odd odor appear after reconstitution.
Protocol notes
- ·IGF-1 LR3 is a long-acting IGF-1 analogue discussed in performance research communities.
- ·Calculator: 0.02 mg = 20 mcg; 0.05 mg = 50 mcg.
- ·Short courses with time off are the usual educational framing — not year-round daily use.
- ·Research use only.
Research context & considerations
Long R3 IGF-1 is engineered for extended activity vs native IGF-1. It is not an approved bodybuilding or anti-aging drug; hypoglycemia and theoretical growth/malignancy pathway concerns are central risk themes.
- ·Hypoglycemia / blood-sugar effects.
- ·Theoretical promotion of cell growth — active malignancy is a high-caution context.
- ·Injection-site and systemic side effects vary.
- ·Not FDA-approved for research-vial consumer use.
- ·Pregnancy out of scope.
