Can someone explain if the point of taking HGH is to increase IGF-1 levels, why don't you just take IGF-1LR3 ?

Site reactions are fairly common (though usually very minor). And yes, it’s essentially an allergic reaction. Normally in the people who get this it’s worst at the beginning, lightens up as your body gets used to it and stops reacting. If you aren’t already already, reconstitute Tesa 2mg doses (assuming that’s what you’re using) to .5ml each, or as close as possible. So if it’s a 10mg vial, 2.5ml BAC will give you 5 x 2ml doses. That will reduce the intensity of any reaction. Be sure to try it on the opposite side of your body, since an area that already reacted will still have antibodies and be “primed” to react again for a few days.

Basically like asking why inject testosterone when you could take test booster pills

Igf lr3 does not bind to igbps leaving its use case solely as a glucose disposal agent which is great for pumps if used pre workout with carbs. But then again insluin does the same thing and we know exactly how it works. Lr3 is inconsistent. Hgh is not. Igf analogs just don’t work the same.

Igf lr3 randomly crashes sugar. It’s kinda iffy peptide. You literally have to carry snacks with you all the time

"Randomly"? That's literally part of it's mechanism, "insulin" like growth factor, making muscles uptake more glucose from blood

Yes but I find most it’s bg disposal effects to be within the first few hours after pinning. I would pin 300mcg with a large carb bolus and lift and get a pretty great pump. Not nearly as good of a pump as 10ius insulin but still decent. Not really worth the inconsistent behavior and cost.
