Performance & Endurance

Truncated IGF-1 variant with higher potency and shorter half-life, more localized effects.

Key Benefits

  • ✓Extremely potent muscle growth
  • ✓Localized effects
  • ✓Enhanced protein synthesis
  • ✓Hyperplasia potential
  • ✓Short half-life limits systemic effects
  • ✓Site-specific muscle growth

Dosing Information

Dosage Range
50-150 mcg
Frequency
Post-workout bilaterally
Typical Duration
4-6 weeks

Detailed Protocol

Administered via intramuscular injection directly into target muscle groups post-workout. Due to short half-life, timing critical. Advanced users only with medical supervision.

About IGF-1 DES

IGF-1 DES is IGF-1 with the first three amino acids removed. This makes it unable to bind to IGF binding proteins, resulting in much higher potency (up to 10x) but very short half-life (20-30 minutes). More localized muscle-building effects.

Research Notes

Research shows significantly higher potency than regular IGF-1. Very short half-life provides more localized effects. Requires expert knowledge for safe use.
