How IGF-1 LR3 Works

IGF-1 LR3 is an engineered version of a hormone that occurs in the body and assists with tissue repair, muscle growth, and cellular regeneration. With that said, before you request this treatment, you may have questions about how it works and what you can expect throughout the treatment. This brief outline highlights key information you should be aware of.

01.

The Consultation

The Consultation

Like with any issue you’re having, when you’re visiting us to discuss a loss of muscle mass, a decrease in your recovery, or an increase in your fat composition, we’ll ask you questions about when you noticed these changes and their severity.

We’ll also want to know about any chronic health issues you have, which provides us with insight into what may be troubling you and helps us craft a plan tailored to your specific needs.

We may order blood work to assess your IGF-1 level and glucose levels. We may conduct a comprehensive metabolic panel and other specific tests as needed. That way, we can determine if you could benefit from the treatment and ensure it’s a safe option for you.

02.

Receiving Treatment

Receiving Treatment

The next step of the process is receiving the treatment once we clear you for therapy. It’s given through a subcutaneous injection, meaning it’s administered under the skin. It’s prescribed as a daily injection or one that’s administered a few times each week, depending on your specific needs.

For your convenience, you can be given the injections to administer at home. Before we send them home with you, though, you’ll need to undergo some instruction so you know the correct dosage, sites, storage information, and more, allowing you to administer the treatment safely and effectively.

03.

Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-Up Appointments

After you receive treatment, you’ll need to return for follow-up visits. This helps us determine if the treatment is working for you or if we need to adjust it.

Because of how this treatment can affect you, you’ll more than likely need to have bloodwork conducted to make sure you aren’t experiencing any unwanted effects.

If you experience any side effects, such as joint pain or fluid retention, please contact us before your next follow-up visit. While some adjustments are temporary, we may need to alter your dosage, which we can do before your first follow-up appointment.

How Treatment Works

IGF-1 is injected into the body and slowly and gradually enters your bloodstream, which is ideal because you don’t want it to drop your blood sugar rapidly since it mimics insulin.

Once in the body, it binds with receptors in your bones, muscles, and other tissues, triggering protein synthesis to repair and build muscle. Ultimately, this encourages regeneration and cell growth, thereby accelerating recovery after physical activity.

Qualifying for IGF-1 LR3

Many people can benefit from this treatment, but only those who’ll genuinely benefit should take it. This can give you an idea if you qualify:

Are in Your Late 20s to 40s

If you’re in your late 20s or early 30s, you’re part of the age group that would most benefit from the treatment, as your levels are starting to decline at this stage. You can replenish them at this point, and you may only experience minor effects for a short period.

However, even if you’re well into your 30s or are in your 40s, you can see results by increasing your levels. Even people in their 50s could notice a difference after starting IGF-1, but keep in mind that the effects aren’t as pronounced.

Are Noticing a Slower or Less Effective Recovery After Exercise

After workouts, you may notice that your body isn’t recovering as well as it once did. You might see that it takes longer for the soreness to subside. You may also feel like your muscles aren’t recovering as efficiently.

​By allowing your body to target the receptors in the muscles, the tissue can then repair itself more effectively after physical exertion.

Are Seeing Changes in Your Body Composition

Various factors affect your body composition as you age — one of them is decreasing IGF-1 levels. If you’re experiencing changes in your body composition, such as a loss of muscle mass or an increase in weight around your abdominal area, it’s beneficial to have your IGF-1 level assessed. Boosting it if it’s starting to drop can improve your body composition.

Have Less Muscle Strength

As you age, you may experience a decrease in strength due to reduced muscle use, hormonal changes, or a decline in hormones such as IGF-1.

One way to help rebuild your strength is through IGF-1 therapy, which aids in muscle repair and regeneration, ultimately increasing strength and muscle mass.

Are Starting to Lose Stamina

Although other factors may contribute to your declining stamina as you age, a declining IGF-1 level could be a factor that can be addressed. Receiving IGF-1 LR3 can provide you with a noticeable boost that’ll help your performance.

Don’t Have an Active Case of Cancer or a History of It

IGF-1 contributes to the growth, division, and repair of cells, which may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. So if you have an active case or have had cancer in the past, this treatment isn’t recommended for you.

Don’t Have Insulin Sensitivity Issues, Hypoglycemia, or Uncontrolled Diabetes

Since IGF-1 affects glucose, if you have insulin sensitivity, hypoglycemic episodes, or uncontrolled diabetes, you should avoid this therapy. It can cause unstable blood sugar levels.

Don’t Have Kidney or Liver Disease or Heart Failure

IGF-1 could affect your fluid balance, electrolytes, fluid retention, blood pressure, and more, which could make it a dangerous substance if you have a kidney or liver disease or heart failure.

Aren’t Pregnant or Breastfeeding

The use of IGF-1 LR3 in pregnant and breastfeeding women hasn’t been studied. It’s best to wait and hold off treatment until you’ve delivered and are no longer breastfeeding.

Even your mood could improve.

Some clients in Hydrology in Miami, FL, report changes as early as the first week or two, most notably an increase in muscle fullness. Sometimes, clients also report feeling a bit more energized, and their muscles are less sore after a workout.

After three to four weeks of treatment, clients often report that their workout performance and strength are increasing. This is when recovery times really speed up. At this point, individuals may notice a noticeable change in their body composition.

Six to eight weeks after you start taking IGF-1 LR3, the results of the muscle gains become more apparent. You’ll likely notice some fat loss, increased stamina, and improved workout performance.

Once you’re two to three months into treatment, your muscles typically become stronger and more defined, resulting in an increase in lean body mass. If you’re exercising and eating right, you may have more fat reduction. Your workout recovery tends to improve even further by this time.

FAQs

IGF-1 LR3 is a synthetic hormone based on one that your body naturally produces. When administered as an injection in peptide form, the body efficiently processes it and utilizes it to promote muscle growth and repair.

It also supports cellular growth and development in other bodily tissues. Not to mention, it affects how your cells use glucose, which can boost your metabolism.

The answer to this depends on your needs and desires. If you’re looking to achieve short-term goals, such as improving your recovery and enhancing your physical performance during exercise, IGF is a better option. On the other hand, if you’re looking for long-term improvements in metabolism and wellness, human growth hormone (HGH) is the superior option.

You could have headaches, swelling, muscle or joint pain, or excessive sweating. Injection site reactions are possible. Always inform your prescribing physician about any side effects you experience so that they can guide you accordingly.

Yes, testosterone levels can increase with IGF-1, but this is not a guaranteed outcome. It’s an indirect effect that happens in some individuals.

Men can increase their strength and muscle mass while reducing fat. Their physical exertion recovery may improve along with their stamina.
