IGF-1 LR3 + MK-677 (Ibutamoren) This is a classic growth stack: MK-677 boosts your natural GH/IGF-1 production by stimulating the pituitary gland, while IGF-1 LR3 delivers immediate and sustained activation of IGF receptors in muscle tissue
This is the stage that the original researchers were targetinga state of enhanced photoprotection
Choi H, Kwak M-J, Choi Y, Kang AN, Mun D, Eor JY, Park MR, Oh S, Kim Y (2025) Extracellular vesicles of Limosilactobacillus fermentum SLAM216 ameliorate skin symptoms of atopic dermatitis by regulating gut microbiome on serotonin metabolism
Unlike native IGF-1 which has a short half-life of only 2030 minutes IGF-1 LR3 has been modified by replacing the third amino acid with arginine and extending the peptide chain by 13 additional amino acids
