The short answer

IGF-1 LR3 (Long R3 IGF-1) is a modified, longer-acting analog of insulin-like growth factor 1. It is studied in cell and growth research and supplied for research use only.

What IGF-1 LR3 is

IGF-1 is a naturally occurring growth factor. IGF-1 LR3 is an engineered version, modified so it is longer-acting than the natural molecule. The name reflects those modifications: Long R3. It is a larger peptide than most in this library.
