About
This is a powerful research blend combining the most potent tri-agonist GLP-1/GIP/Glucagon peptide, Retatrutide, with the highly anabolic growth factor, IGF-1 LR3, for studies focused on dramatic body recomposition.
Mechanism of Action
This blend provides a dual-front assault on body composition. Retatrutide powerfully suppresses appetite and increases energy expenditure, leading to significant fat loss. Simultaneously, IGF-1 LR3 directly stimulates muscle protein synthesis and the proliferation of muscle stem cells (hyperplasia), helping to build or preserve lean muscle mass during a caloric deficit.
Key Benefits
- Unprecedented weight loss potential (Retatrutide)
- Potent muscle growth and retention (IGF-1 LR3)
- Synergistic effects for dramatic body recomposition
- Enhanced insulin sensitivity and metabolic health
Clinical Research
While this specific blend is experimental, the individual components are heavily researched. Retatrutide has shown up to 24.2% body weight loss in clinical trials. IGF-1 is a well-established mediator of muscle growth. Combining them is a novel approach to achieving results that are difficult with either agent alone.
Potential Side Effects
Potential side effects would be a combination of both components: GI issues (nausea, diarrhea) from Retatrutide and potential hypoglycemia or fluid retention from IGF-1 LR3. This is an advanced blend for experienced researchers.
Usage & Dosage
Research protocols would require careful titration of dosages due to the potency of both compounds. Administration is via subcutaneous injection.
Peptide Storage
Best Practices For Storing Peptides
To preserve the integrity of laboratory results, proper storage of peptides is essential. Correct storage practices can maintain peptides for years and guard against contamination, oxidation, and degradation. If the peptides will be used immediately, short-term refrigeration under 4°C (39°F) is generally acceptable. Lyophilized peptides are usually stable at room temperatures for several weeks.
For longer-term storage (several months to years), it is preferable to store peptides in a freezer at -80°C (-112°F). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles and do not use frost-free freezers, as temperatures can fluctuate widely.
Preventing Contamination
To prevent moisture contamination, allow the peptide to come to room temperature before opening its container. Minimize exposure to air; after use, reseal the container under an atmosphere of dry, inert gas (like nitrogen or argon) if possible. Peptides with Cys, Met, or Trp are especially prone to air oxidation.
Storing Peptides In Solution
The shelf life of peptide solutions is far less than that of lyophilized peptides. If peptides must be stored in solution, use sterile buffers at pH 5-6 and separate into aliquots to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Peptide solutions are generally stable for up to 30 days when refrigerated at 4°C (39°F).
