MOLECULE PROFILE

IGF-1 LR3

Protein or biologic

IGF-1 receptor signaling with altered binding-protein affinity.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Not mecasermin and not IGF-DES.

Synonyms: Long R3 IGF-I · IGF-1LR3 · LR8 (STELLA parenthesis; unresolved, not accepted synonym)

Protein or biologic · Protein or protein analogue

Detailed molecular class: IGF analogue protein

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

IGF-1 receptor signaling with altered binding-protein affinity.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Reported muscle and performance

Protein analogue offered for anabolism; neither mecasermin nor IGF-DES.

Human evidence

No controlled human efficacy finding was verified for the exact catalog identity in this screen.

Preclinical evidence

Fetal sheep study did not show the claimed growth benefit; experimental context differs from adult bodybuilding.

Critical reading and limitations

A growth-restricted fetal-sheep study did not improve growth; not athlete validation.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Human-study exposure

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

NOT A RECOMMENDATION.Each amount is attributed to the source identified for that entry: regulatory product labeling, human research, or community and practice sources. These source categories have different evidentiary roles. They are not medical advice, not a protocol, not a recommended or safe dose, and not evidence that it works. Do not use them to start, change or stop any treatment. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

Jurisdiction-specific approval not verified in this card; do not infer global nonapproval.

Adverse effects and unknowns

Human safety, contraindications and interactions are not adequately established for the catalog product. Missing reports are not evidence of safety.

Changes metabolic signaling; hypoglycemia/other risks need product-specific assessment without importing other molecules’ labels.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

No selected studies are attributed in this record.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
