⚠️ NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION – FOR RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY ⚠️ IGF‑DES (Insulin‑like Growth Factor‑1 DES(1‑3))A truncated, highly potent analogue of IGF‑1, missing the first three N‑terminal amino acids (DES(1‑3)), yielding enhanced receptor affinity and significantly reduced binding to IGF‑binding proteins. Form: Lyophilized powder Purity: >98% (HPLC) Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark environment; long-term storage ideally at –20 °C(Sources: Swolverine “IGF‑DES For Beginners” guide, Wikipedia – des(1‑3)IGF‑1 entry) Research Highlights Approximately 10× more potent than native IGF‑1 in stimulating cell hypertrophy and proliferation, due to minimal interaction with IGF‑binding proteins PubMedWikipedia. Exhibits a short half-life (≈20–30 minutes) paired with strong localized activity, making it ideal for spot-targeted muscle growth and connective tissue regeneration Swolverine+1. Demonstrated efficacy in muscle satellite cell activation, tissue repair, and targeted hypertrophy, especially when applied immediately post-exercise or localized for injury recovery Swolverine+1. Naturally produced variant found in brain, colostrum, and uterine tissue—a splice variant with enhanced bioavailability and potency Peptide SciencesPubMed.
