The math for IGF-1 LR3

To find the strength, divide the amount in the vial by the water. When you add 1 mL of water to a 1 mg vial, each mL holds 1 mg. First divide your dose by that strength to find the mL; then multiply by 100 to get the units for a U-100 syringe.

A 50 mcg dose from that vial measures 0.05 mL, or 5 units.

For each vial and water, a cell shows the amount to draw on a U-100 syringe.

So, is IGF-1 LR3 FDA-approved?

It isn't FDA-approved for any use in people; it is sold as a research chemical. Since no FDA label exists, no official dose is set. All we do is convert a dose you already have.

Questions people often ask

For a vial of 1 mg IGF-1 LR3, how much water do I add?

You choose the amount of water; it only changes the strength of each mL. Using 1 mL gives you 1 mg per mL; add more water and every unit holds less, so small doses are easier to measure.

How many units is a 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 dose?

This depends on how strong your mix is. At 1 mg/mL, 1 mg equals 100 units. Put your vial and water details into the calculator to find your number.

How long does IGF-1 LR3 keep once it is mixed?

Follow the storage instructions given for your product or prescription. Bacteriostatic water itself, per CDC guidance, should be used within 28 days, starting with the first needle.
