The LR3 stands for an addition of a "tail" added in a certain configuration to the IGF1 molecule, which makes the IGF1-lr3 much more potent.
Background:
Well there is IGF-1 and then there are other versions like IGF-1lr3, des, etc, etc..
Increlex is the Prescribed version and it is usually very hard to find and when you do, it is super expensive. It's identical to the IGF1 that our body secretes.
What is Increlex?
Increlex (mecasermin) is a man-made form of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a substance that is normally produced in the body. IGF-1 is important for the growth of bones and muscles.
Increlex is used to treat growth failure in children whose bodies do not make enough IGF-1.
Increlex is not for use in children who have growth hormone deficiency, malnutrition, underactive thyroid, or those who are taking long-term steroid medications.
If you want real IGF-1, yes it can cost hundreds of dollars with ease. Sciroxx makes a decent version that is more affordable then Increlex.
IGF-1LR3 is very popular though. And the reasons are this...The LR3 stands for an addition of a "tail" added in a certain configuration to the IGF1 molecule, which makes the IGF1-lr3 much more potent. Most of the IGF1 in the serum is floating around not in a free form, but attached to binding proteins which neutralize its ability to interact with the receptor (just like other hormones such as testosterone). The additive of the tail in the lr3 form frees more IGF1 in a free forum into the circulation and prolong it's life time in the serum, so most of the anabolic and anti cartabolic traits are even more pronounced then in the regular IGF1 form.
Why isn't it prescribed if it is stronger then?
Scrioxx speculates that making a drug into a prescribed drug simply requires the investment of great deal of resources and tedious 3 phases of clinical trials, while there are very few people who are prescribed with IGF1, thus making it potentially unnecessary.
Which then leaves one looking for IGF-1lr3, with one simple feat. Make sure it is lab tested and legit product. Literally that simple.
Additional information:
IGF, also known as insulin-like growth factor, is a peptide that occurs naturally in humans, as well as other mammals. The levels of this hormone are highest during the puberty stage of life as the body gears up to mature into its adult form. This includes an increase in the both the size of the muscles and the number of cells devoted to them. This peptide stimulates the proteins and other components of muscle cells. Both the synthesis of protein and the absorption of amino acids is increased. Fat is mobilized for use as an energy source while its effect on lean tissue is manifested a bit differently. Glucose is prevented from being transported by insulin across the membranes of the cells. This action prompts the body to turn to burning fat as a source of energy. Since the number of muscle cells is set during puberty, it is typically only possible to maximize their size after that period of time. Because IGF causes cells to split, a process also known as hyperplasia, it can actually increase the number of muscle cells. While this is usually most noticeable during puberty, it can also occur at other stages of life as well.
