IGtropin
Active Ingredient: LongR3 IGF-1
Long R3 IGF-1 is an 83 amino acid analog of IGF-1 comprising the complete human IGF-1 sequence with the substitution of an Arg(r) for the Glu(e) at the position three, hence R3, and a 13 amino acid extension peptide at the N terminus. Thi9s analog of IGF 1 has been produced with the purpose of increasing he biological activity of the IGF peptide.
Long R3 IGF 1 is significantly more potent than IGF 1. The enhanced potency is due to the decreased binding of Long R3 IGF 1 to all known IGF binding proteins. These binding proteins normally inhibit the biological actions of IGF’s.
Biological Effects:
During puberty IGF is the most responsible for the natural muscle growth that occurs during these few years. There are many different things that IGF does in the human body; among the effects the most positive are increased amino acid transport to cells, increased glucose transport, increased protein synthesis, decreased protein degradation, and increased RNA synthesis.
When IGF is active it behaves differently in different types of tissues. In muscle cells proteins and associated cell components are stimulated. Protein synthesis is increased along with amino acid absorption. As a source of energy, IGF mobilizes fat for use as energy in adipose tissue. In lean tissue, IGF prevents insulin from transporting glucose across cell membranes. As a result the cells have to switch to burning off fat as a source of energy.
IGF also mimic’s insulin in the human body. It makes muscles more sensitive to insulin’s effects, so if you are a person that currently uses insulin you can lower your dosage by a decent margin to achieve the same effects, and as mentioned IGF will keep the insulin from making you fat.
Perhaps the most interesting and potent effect of IGF has on the human body is its ability to cause hyperplasia, which is an actual splitting of cells. Hypertrophy is what occurs during weight training, it is simply an increase in the size of muscle cells. See, after puberty you have a set number of muscle cells, and all you are able to do is increase the size of these muscle cells, you don’t actually gain more. But, wit IGF use you are able to cause this hyperplasia which actually increases the number of muscle cells present in the tissue, and through weight training you are able to mature these new cells, in other words make them grow and become stronger. So in a way IGF can actually change your genetic capabilities in terms of muscle tissue and cell count. IGF proliferates and differentiates the number of types of cells present. At a genetic level it has the potential to alter an individual’s capacity to build superior muscle density and size.
How to use:
The most effective length for a cycle of IGF is 50 days on and 20-40 days off.
Take dosages ranging from 60mcg up to 120 mcg per day in divided doses, one injection in the morning and again at bed time. Never exceed 120mcg in one day!
Do not use insulin for the nighttime injection of IGF 1. By taking insulin in the morning you prolong the IGF 1’s ½ life to 12 hours.
Side effects:
The drug used in larger quantity around the 100+mcg range will cause headaches, occasional nausea and con contribute to low blood sugar or hypoglycemia in some users.
