    The most effective

    form of IGF is Long R3 IGF-1, it has been chemically

    altered and has had amino acid changes which cause it

    to avoid binding to proteins in the human body and

    allow it to have a much longer half life, around 20-30

    hours. "Long R3 IGF-1 is an 83 amino acid analog of

    IGF-1 comprising the complete human IGF-1 sequence

    with the substition of an Arg(R) for the Glu(E) at

    position three, hence R3, and a 13 amino acid

    extension peptide at the N terminus. This analog of

    IGF-1 has been produced with the purpose of increasing

    the biological activity of the IGF peptide."



    "Long R3 IGF-1 is signifacantly more potent than

    IGF-1. The enhanced potency is due to the decreased

    binding of Long R3 IGF-1 to all known IGF binding

    proteins. These binding proteins normally inhibit the biological actions of IGF's."
