    Good thing we use mcg's and not mg's, I'll be using 100mcg on my next run but that's 1/1000 of 100mg.

    So for all you high dose people, you've been warned, do not use 100mg doses or your spleen will grow.

    By the way oswald, can you post the study or source you got this info from, thanks

    I think Ossie is going by this study....

    …..In conclusion, exogenous IGF-I administered at physiological
    doses did not exert marked effects on body wt
    gain, carcass dimensions, or body composition in intact,
    growing, and well-fed yearling sheep. It had some marked
    endocrine and metabolic effects, however, including
    suppression of plasma insulin , IGFBP-2, and induced
    hyperglycaemia. Marked splenomegaly was also noted.
    These changes must be borne in mind in considering any
    possible therapeutic use of IGF-I. While IGF-I treatment
    in this study did not cause a major somatogenic response
    in well fed normally growing animals, higher doses of
    IGF-I may be more effective. However, under more severe
    conditions such as undernutrition, when GH resistance
    occurs (44) IGF-I is a more effective anabolic agonist…..

    Organ- control- igf 1 treated

    Heart 232.0 +/- 11.0 ------- 230.4 +/ 10.4
    Liver 1005.9 +/- 48.5 ----- 1027.0 +/- 45.9
    Spleen 78.8 +/- 4.6 ------ 114.6 +/- 4.4 (50 %)
    Lungs 502.6 +/- 29.9 ------ 515.1+/- 28.3
    Kidneys 131.8 +/- 5.3 ------ 145.6 +/- 5.0

    and:

    Differences in the association of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and IGF-I variants with rat, sheep, pig, human and chicken plasma-binding proteins.

    Lord AP, Bastian SE, Read LC, Walton PE, Ballard FJ.

    Child Health Research Institute, North Adelaide, South Australia.

    "Associations between labelled insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF-binding proteins in plasma have been compared in the rat, sheep, human, pig and chicken. The IGFs tested were recombinant human IGF-I, the truncated variant, des(1-3)IGF-I, and LR3IGF-I, an extended form that had been engineered so as to minimize interactions with IGF-binding proteins. Marked species differences were demonstrated, notably that the IGF-I variants which exhibited extremely weak binding in rat plasma bound significantly in plasma from the other species. This result was shown both by size-exclusion chromatography of labelled IGFs added to plasma, in which the extent of variant IGF-I binding decreased in the order sheep > human > pig = chicken > rat, and by competition for labelled IGF-I binding in vitro, in which the order was pig = chicken > sheep > human > rat. Notwithstanding these differences, the two IGF-I variants showed only slight between-species binding differences when tested with purified rat, sheep and human IGF-binding protein-3. Ligand blotting experiments with plasma from the five species similarly showed a consistent pattern in that IGF-I binding was much greater than des(1-3)IGF-I binding, which in turn was greater than LR3IGF-I binding"

    less binding,more powerful.

    I don't see how that applies to LR3, the study is talking about rhIGF-1 not LR3 IGF-1, but oswald needs to post his source.

    Are you saying you meant 100mcg? Either way 100mg or 100mcg post up your sources of info. This is not a personal attack, it's to see how it applies toward us or if it even applies

    LR3 is more potent than IGF 1 by the way their side effects should be stronger.

    ....see pinn get up his doses of LR3 (120 mcg) and he get a bloated look in the abdominal region. coincidence ? i will like to try with 200 mcg but...........

    i think that LR3 over 100 mcg it increases the possibilities of a big belly,plus hgh, more.
    people should be under 100 mcg,just that.

    why ? do you wish a candy?

    Oswaldosalcedo,

    You need to post your source and/or some studies. Trust me, your rhetoric is not very convincing!

    Your assumption has some flaws. LR3 binds poorly to IGF-1 BP, that's what give it the added half-life, which is what makes it better then rhIGF-1. So to assume the sides would be worst is wrong, are the sides from rhIGF-1 could because it's being bound to the area of the side effect? If it is then LR3 wouldn't cause the same problem. So if you'd post the source of your info, we could determine if you claims apply to LR3, but I doubt they do. Without a study that is using LR3 IGF-1 and the same sides happen, it's just another opinion or speculation

    We've been through this before Bro, you post studies that don't apply to LR3 IGF-1, you have posted studies on LR3 IGF-1, but they've always been possitive ones, Why? do you wish some candy, what ever that's supposed to mean.

    Is this your proof? Because your friend got a bloated look in his abdominal area, you think it caused his speen to grow?

    I disagree with what Ossie thinks about my issue.I don't think it is IGF related at all.Myself and others think slin is the culprit.Last time I checked,LR3 IGF-1 didn't convert into IGF-2.
    Further my blood-work came back and my IGF levels were elevated,but not ELEVATED,if you see my point.

    Then this wouldn't apply, but as it stands it doesn't apply to anyone yet, if the evidence is a friend with a bloated belly, that doesn't make for a scientific eveidence

    They do exist,just not at the doses we run.As you said in one thread 20iu and 200mg is what ronnie does.

    That's not that, first of all no one said that big bellies don't exist. What we are saying, you post the 100mg (mcg) will cause spleen growth. What we are saying is where is you proof, how do you know your friend spleen grow? Did a Dr do an examination on him? If his spleen did grow, it must of grow quite a bit to make his belly protrude. HGH gut is from the internal organs growing, not one of the smallest ones, but the majority of them or all of them, but not just one. I mean a boated belly could be from gas and have nothing to do with LR3.

    All we asked for was your proof of what you said, instead of saying big belly doesn't exist. You could of just said, I have no proof, it just my guess as to what happened to my friend. But to make an emphatic statement like the one you make, it's going to be questioned, we're going to want proof, other then a, my friend, answer. You made the statement as though you had some type of evidence, you usually post study to back what you are try to say. Some haven't applied to what you were try to say, but none the less you posted a study, we expected the same here.

    No one is personally attacking you, we just wanted proof of what you were saying. No one has ever said LR3 would cause spleen growth at any dose, so of corse we're going to question it and ask for proof

    I had blood work done.IGF was not the cause my bloated abdominal region.We don't know what caused it.Wasn't diet,nor was it increased body fat,gas ect ect.
    But since I stopped running slin,it has gone away.No one can explain this.But it does appear slin could have been culprit though.

    So if you guys could keep me and my spleen out of this,that would be great....lol....

    I have a 32 inch waist....i don't know how you wear your pants,but I wear mine below the belly button area and they sort of hug my hips....so even with the bloated ab area,I never had a problem with my pants fitting.I had the look of Gustavo in the Mr.O this year.That distended look.........

    I still say it was the slin,but I have no medical proof of that.

    When in doubt,ask an IFBB pro!!Here's what Big A said.....btw,he and his board are awesome!!

    As soon as you stop the insulin, and as such the high crabs, it will subside.

    You can get it over the o****er from pharmacies as it's a thrush treatment.

    I cant find that study but in some studys children were given 2-7mg of IGF-1 /ed and if they didnt get major sides then adults must be able to take the same dose,
    im just wondering everyone says dont use more then 120mcg of Lr3 IGF-1 but is there any evidence that this would be bad for some reason or has anyone tried to use more then 150mcg?

    You bring up a good point, the idea of only using 120mcg, is what we though from the beganing, when we didn't know that much. I've read studies that were using mg's of LR3 IGF-1, but they were done in animals, not humans.

    I read a post about someone using 200mcg, but it was posted by a source, so take it for what it's worth, he may of only been trying to increase sales. Think about it, you'd need 6mg of LR3 IGF-1 to run it at 200mcg for 30 days. You're talking about 700-1100 bucks depending on where you get it from.

    Isnt't that the truth. I went ahead and got 3mgs of Igtropin directly from Gensci and paid $290 a mg. Thats double from what I was previously paying but I"m hardheaded and wanted to try it.

    All in all spent almost $900 to run 100mcg/day ED for 1 month!!!!
