How to Mix IGF-1 Long R3
Here are some instructions on how to mix or reconstitute IGF-1 Long R3. These instructions assume you have one vile of 1000 MCG of IGF-1 LR3 which is in the lyophilized form.
Most people use 1ml or 2mls of acetic acid (called AA from here on out) to mix their IGF-1 Long R3. Most IGF-1 kits come with 1 ml or cc of AA.
After removing the vacuum from the vile (do this by injecting a little air into the vile) of IGF-1 Long R3 slowly drizzle the AA into the vial.
Try not to let the stream of AA hit the powder directly. Try to let it run down the side of the glass into the powder.
After all the AA is in the vial of IGF-1 Long R3 gently swirl the vial. It is best to let it sit for a while in the fridge where the IGF-1 can continue to dissolve. Never shake your IGF-1 LR3; it is a very delicate peptide.
Mix/Reconstituting Instructions for IGF-1 Long R3
A 1 ml syringe is marked like this llll10llll20llll30llll40llll50llll60
A 1/2 ml syringe is like this llll5llll10llll15llll20llll25llll30
On a 1 ml syringe each line represents 2 units 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
On a 1/2 ml syringe each line is 1 unit 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. This makes it easier to measure.
If you use 1 ml of AA, on a 1 ml insulin syringe, each line is 20 mcg. On a 1/2 ml syringe each line is 10 mcg.
If you use 2 ml of AA, on a 1 ml pin each line is 10 mcg, on a 1/2 ml each line is 5 mcg…the 5 line is 25 mcg, 10 line is 50 mcg
Your IGF-1 LR3 is stored in AA solution, nacl or bacteriostatic water is added to dilute at the time of injection. Draw twice as much nacl or bacteriostatic water as IGF-1. So if you draw IGF-1 LR3 to the ten line, draw nacl to the 30 line and you are ready to go.

If you receive already mixed igf 1 r3, is it fake? I have been reading that you need to reconstitute it yourself with aa, then dilute it if you want to, but you don’t have to. I need your help. I need a reputable location for igf purchase. Is GP a good place? IGF k, sent it premixed….I read that it can’t be done that way.

Yes it is true IGF-1 can not be pre-mixed.
The problem I am having is getting the whole kit.
It seems that the Acetic Acid is hard to find.
If someome could help me get the whole kit i would appretiate this.

where do u inject IGF 1 if your working out and when is it best to inject it?

You can inject subcutaneous or into a muscle. Most agree it is best to take IGF-1 after your workout. You also need to eat with the IGF-1.

I read your page on preparing IGF-LR3 & found it very helpful. However I was wondering if you had any information on how to figure out dosages (specifically 20 mcg from a 1 mg vial), using a 50 unit (1/2 cc) insulin syringe.
Thanks in advance for your time!

On a 1/2CC pin each tick is 5mcg. So it looks like this, llll5. So the number 5 which is five ticks is 20 mcgs of of IGF-1.
Tip:
Most agree it is best to take Long IGF-1 right after your workout. You must eat with the IGF-1.

i see there are many different types of acetic acid and percentages. what do they mean and what should i use? also i am paying 220.00 for 1000mcg is that normal? what is the difference between using 1ml or 2 ml of aa?
November 17th, 2008 at 4:38 am
what should be stacked with igf 1?
September 3rd, 2009 at 6:53 am
Matt, 220.00 is much more than i paid for that amount at a very reputable site
My question: So i have 1ml of IGF-1 Long R3 powder and 2ml of AA. Do I just mix it and its ready to use? Or is there something else i need?

@ross did you check this out? http://www.thesage-speaks.com/how-to-mix-igf-1-long-r3/

Yeah I was clear on everything up to, “nacl or bacteriostatic water is added to dilute at the time of injection. Draw twice as much nacl or bacteriostatic water as IGF-1. So if you draw IGF-1 LR3 to the ten line, draw nacl to the 30 line and you are ready to go.”

Nevermind I figured it out. The answer i was looking for was that you load the pin with BW before or after you draw the IGF-1 in order to dilute it.
Aparrently it was worded poorly on the http://www.thesage-speaks.com/how-to-mix-igf-1-long-r3/ link because alot of forums I looked at had multiple people asking the same question i was asking. Thanks anyways.
