Main Information

What is IGF-1 DES?

IGF-1 DES (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 DES 1-3) is a truncated, more potent version of IGF-1, specifically engineered to stimulate local muscle growth and regeneration. Unlike standard IGF-1, it bypasses inhibitory binding proteins, allowing for stronger anabolic activity at the site of injection.IGF-1 DES acts quickly and precisely—making it ideal for post-workout application to targeted muscles, especially lagging body parts or injury-prone areas. It promotes satellite cell activation, muscle fiber repair, and localized hypertrophy without systemic effects.W

Perfect for bodybuilders, athletes, and recovery-focused users looking to enhance muscle density, fix weak points, or recover faster after intense training.

Key Benefits

Stimulates site-specific muscle growth
Supports rapid recovery after training
Activates satellite cells and repair pathways
Improves muscle quality and density
Short-acting = less systemic exposure, more control

Scientific Background

IGF-1 DES (1-3) is a modified form of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), created by removing the first three amino acids from the IGF-1 molecule. This small change dramatically increases its binding affinity to IGF-1 receptors while reducing interference from binding proteins (IGFBPs), making it more bioavailable and faster-acting than regular IGF-1.Developed to enhance localized anabolic activity, IGF-1 DES is often used to support muscle growth, tissue regeneration, and satellite cell activation, particularly in injury recovery and performance contexts. It is known for promoting hyperplasia (increase in muscle cell number) in addition to hypertrophy.Because of its short half-life (~20–30 minutes), IGF-1 DES is typically applied directly to target muscle groups post-training, maximizing its localized growth-promoting effects.

Usage Instructions

For detailed information on how to prepare and use your IGF-1 DES vial, please refer to the usage instructions provided in the product leaflet delivered with your order.
Reconstitution (Preparation):

Reconstitute the lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water (1–2 ml).
Inject the water slowly along the vial wall to avoid foaming.
Swirl gently (do not shake) until the solution is fully dissolved and clear.
Store reconstituted solution in the refrigerator at 2–8 °C and use within 10–14 days.

Administration:

Use a new, sterile insulin syringe for each injection.
Administer subcutaneously or intramuscularly, directly into the trained or target muscle.
Ideal timing: Immediately post-workout for localized anabolic response.
Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation.
Always ensure a small drop appears at the needle tip before injection to confirm proper loading.

Dosage Information

Form: Subcutaneous or intramuscular injection (site-specific)
Timing: Immediately post-workout or 1x daily on target muscle groups

For Muscle Growth (Bodybuilders / Strength Athletes):

Dosage: 50–100 mcg per muscle group
Inject directly into lagging or trained muscl
Optional: split dose across 2 sites per muscle
Cycle length: 4–6 weeks

For Injury Recovery / Rehab:

Dosage: 30–60 mcg per day into or near affected area
Apply consistently for 2–4 weeks during recovery phase

For General Recovery / Performance Optimization:

Dosage: 40–80 mcg post-training into recently trained muscle
Best combined with BPC-157 or TB-500 in recovery stacks

Always rotate injection sites and use sterile technique

Important Warnings

Research Use Only: Not approved for human consumption
Potent & localized: Do not inject systemically or at random
Avoid overdose – more is not better due to receptor desensitization
Storage (lyophilized): Keep vial refrigerated at 2–8 °C
After reconstitution: Store in fridge and use within 10–14 days
Do not freeze
Use only bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
Always use a new sterile syringe and needle
