  1. My take on IGF-1

    Yes I used 1/2 inch slin pin. But next month I'll go with 1.5 inch needle to get inside joint, as close to injured cartilage as possible. Have you read all of this thread and considered going EOD? Grunt suggests to go EOD or even E3D with IGF, as ED might down regulate receptors faster.

  2. My take on IGF-1

    I also have problems with shoulder, with 3 surgeries behind. And I used IGF-1 primarily to heal my cartilage which is badly damaged. So far I had 1 cycle (4 weeks) of IGF, at 60mcg EOD IM in injured delt (no bilateral). And it helped great deal. I now have some movements I hadn't had since...

  3. My take on IGF-1

    It's an interesting study, I'll look into it more deeply. And hour or so of active IGF-1 in cartilage is A LOT, comparing to what it typically gets as there is where little blood flow. I'm 6th day on IGF-1 EOD 40mcg and my shoulder is in the best shape since operation. I know it's not from new...

  4. My take on IGF-1

    Hmm, the question that comes to my mind is: what would be the benefit of longer exposure? As receptors once activated, stay activated for like 48-72h. Wouldn't the extended exposure down regulate receptors? Just a thought.

  5. My take on IGF-1

    I'm not sure I'm following you, what would "physiologically inert thickening agent" be? Do you have anything specific in mind?

  6. My take on IGF-1

    Yep, I dissolved it in 1ml of AA. So it's a small amount of liquid. :) And yes, I know cartilage has very little blood flow, and that is the main reason why it's difficult to rehab it. Thank you for your answers. I'll find a way to get it there.

  7. My take on IGF-1

    When I said "directly into cartilage" I actually meant intra articular, not into cartilage itself. I wasn't clear enough, thanks for pointing out. :) For now, I'm shooting into delts, and hoping some of it will get to cartilage. I'll try to go intra articular, but 40mcg is such a small amount...

  8. My take on IGF-1

    Hello there people, Few days ago I started using IGF-1 LR3 for cartilage repair in my shoulder. (I damaged it very badly 3 years ago) I started with 40mcg E3D directly in shoulder, as deep and close to cartilage I can (considering it's 1/2" slin pin). I've also read tons of studies for...

  9. LR3 IGF-1 for cartilage regrowth (long, please help)

    Bump, any help?

  10. LR3 IGF-1 for cartilage regrowth (long, please help)

    While waiting for reply, I did some homework, so here are my thoughts. If I did my homework good, nothing I do can heal cartilage without IGF-1 and GH. IGF-1 is directly responsible for cell growth and proliferation. Major benefits of GH comes from IGF-1 which is produced in liver when it's...

  11. LR3 IGF-1 for cartilage regrowth (long, please help)

    Hello to all of you.. I noticed this forum has vast knowledge about steroids, so I guess this is the right place to ask. I'm 24 now, and I was a wrestler for like 15 years. Never had a single injury. Until 3 years ago. I dislocated my right shoulder on preparations for world wrestling...
