"We believe this potential new medicine can deliver even more weight loss than tirzepatide and it could potentially provide additional health benefits," Daniel Skovronsky, Lilly's chief scientific and medical officer, said during an earnings call on Thursday
Unlike IGF-1 LR3 , which is typically used systemically, IGF-1 DES is best used for: Targeted muscle growth Localized tissue repair Training-enhanced anabolism Heres how to use it effectively: Dosage Guidelines Typical IGF-1 DES dosing ranges from 20100 mcg per injection , depending on: Your experience level The size of the muscle group targeted Whether youre using it for growth or injury repair Dose-dependent stimulation of IGF-1 signaling pathways can be leveraged for site-specific hypertrophy or enhanced tissue regeneration. Philippou et al., Cell Communication and Signaling Injection Type and Technique Intramuscular (IM) injection directly into the target muscle Ideally injected pre-workout , ~1530 minutes prior to training that muscle group Rotate injection sites to avoid local irritation Example: If your goal is to bring up calves : Inject IGF-1 DES into medial and lateral gastrocnemius Perform calf training ~1530 min later to drive local blood flow and nutrient delivery Injection Timing Cycling Protocol IGF-1 DES should not be used continuously it is best cycled to: Prevent receptor downregulation Minimize risk of tissue overgrowth Typical cycles: 46 weeks on 24 weeks off For injury repair , shorter 24 week micro-cycles can be effective when stacked with: BPC-157 (BPC-157 for Recovery) TB500 (TB500) Stacking Potential IGF-1 DES is rarely used alone stacking it properly amplifies its effects: Stacking IGF-1 peptides with GH secretagogues and tissue repair peptides creates a synergistic environment for anabolism and regeneration. Musaro et al., Frontiers in Physiology Understood here is the next section, Potential Side Effects , written cleanly without summary clutter: Potential Side Effects Like any powerful growth factor , IGF-1 DES must be used intelligently to avoid unwanted effects
