Very Low IGF-1 and IGF Binding Protein 3 levels. Advice?

Yes it is, and the other option is to buy both and then just draw it in a syringe and pin both of them at the same time in the appropriate percentages.
So IGF1 Ir-3 is synthetic IGF-1, interesting. Wouldn't taking just hGH or a GH Secretagogue raise your IGF-1 levels by stimulating the liver? Or do they not do a good job of it?
 
Long arginine 3-IGF-1, abbreviated as IGF-1 LR3 or LR3-IGF-1, is a synthetic protein and lengthened analogue of human insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).

HGH is not the same as IGF-1, but it promotes the release of IGF-1 within the body.
That's what I mean. Genuinely, is there a benefit to taking IGF-1 with hGH when the hGH will stimulate the liver to produce IGF-1 anyway?

any idea on dosing of the LR-3, can it be taken alone ie without GH, Hertoghe reckons legit supplies of IGF-1 are sporadic in Europe, he said in a vid if I remember correctly that the synthetic version LR-3 is 10 times stronger than IGF-1 so need tenth of dose?
 
Honestly unsure, however, based on KeepFit1 Dr said it seems it may be beneficial to take both....

Dosing is about 20mcg (0.02mg) - 100mcg (0.1mg)daily. Typically ran for 6 weeks. After six weeks, take approximately 20-40 days off before starting a new course IGF-1 LR3. But, if it HRT purposes then maybe different.
why the 20-40 days off, presumably if levels are low we need it 365 days, just like T, Hertoghe has people onGH etc it 365days , I dont necessarily agree with everything Hertoghe says, thats for sure. He reckons the IGF3 is what protests us from cancers , does the LR3 do anything to IGF3 levels or just IGF-1

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
