Yep its out in a powder, for research only but available from a well known and respected individual. Goes for $250 per mg and is suspended in BA for easy dosing.....hehe, can you imagine trying to dose the powder yourself to 50mcg?

Yes, use of IGF-1, like any hormone, will cause the body to respond by reducing its own output, GH is the primary factro in IGF-1 release so supplimenting with IGF-1 will cause a reduction in natural GH. IGF-1 is ok to do without GH, but only for about 4 weeks at which time the body will have reduced GH output to compensate for the additional IGF-1.

IGF-1 shows different metabolic activity than IGF-1 R3 Long.

Extrapolating results from IGF-1 would not be accurate enough.
A longer half-life changes a lot of things bio-chemically
speaking.

IGF-1 R3 long is a FAR more efficient sup. than IGF-1 and
GH. Also, far safer.

One of the things to consider though, is the relationship
between IGF-1 and the formation of gyno.

Its an assumption(on my part), that IGF-1 R3 long is
more likely to cause gyno than IGF-1 because of its
half-life.
I could be wrong, but my instincts tells me other wise.
