Key Takeaways: IGF-1 DES

IGF-1 DES is a Other peptide primarily researched for:

  • Rapid muscle repair and growth
  • Locally targeted hyperplasia
  • Improved connective tissue healing

Research Profile

Stability Class Highly Volatile

Freezable? ❌ No (Fragile)

IGF-1 DES (Desamino IGF-1) is a truncated version of IGF-1. It is the “fast-acting, high-potency” relative of the growth factor family.

Potent Local Action

IGF-1 DES is ten times more potent than standard IGF-1. Because it does not bind to storage proteins in the blood, it stays active only for a short window, making it ideal for localized research into muscle hyperplasia and the repair of specific injuries.

Advanced Growth Research

Due to its potency, IGF-1 DES is a high-risk research compound. It is primarily used to study the mechanisms of muscle cell creation and the rapid regeneration of tendons and ligaments in models of severe tissue trauma.

Key Benefits

  • Rapid muscle repair and growth
  • Locally targeted hyperplasia
  • Improved connective tissue healing
  • Neuroprotective properties

Potential Side Effects

  • Hypoglycemia (if misused)
  • Water retention
