DES (1-3) IGF-1 1mg – Int | Powerful Site-Enhancement Peptide for Growth
⚡ DES (1-3) IGF-1 1mg – Int | Rapid-Acting Peptide for Extreme Muscle Growth
DES (1-3) IGF-1 1mg – Int is an ultra-potent, short-chain analog of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1), engineered to deliver targeted, site-specific muscle growth. This international-grade peptide is prized by bodybuilders, performance athletes, and biohackers for its enhanced receptor binding, localized anabolic effects, and accelerated tissue repair.
Unlike standard IGF-1, DES (1-3) is up to 10x more powerful, bypasses typical IGF-binding proteins, and acts directly at the muscle injection site, making it ideal for spot-enhancement and growth-phase cycles.
🧪 Product Overview
- Peptide: DES (1-3) IGF-1
- Form: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptide
- Concentration: 1mg per vial
- Administration: Intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SubQ), ideally near the muscle group trained
- Source: International (Int)
- Storage: Refrigerate after reconstitution
⚙️ How DES (1-3) IGF-1 Works
DES (1-3) is a shortened IGF-1 peptide with enhanced ability to bind IGF-1 receptors, especially in damaged or growing muscle tissue. Unlike IGF-1 LR3, DES acts immediately and locally—triggering hyperplasia (new muscle cell formation) and enhanced cell proliferation post-training.
💪 Key Benefits
- 🚀 Accelerated muscle growth & hypertrophy
- 📈 Targeted anabolic effects when injected intramuscularly
- 🛠️ Rapid repair of muscle fibers and soft tissue
- 🔥 Ideal for site-specific muscle enhancement
- ⏱️ Fast-acting with short half-life for acute response
- 💉 Minimal systemic effect—perfect for localized gains
📋 Suggested Usage Protocol
| Goal | Dosage | Timing | Cycle Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscle growth (localized) | 50–100mcg | Post-workout, site injection | 4–6 weeks |
| Muscle recovery | 40–80mcg | 1–2x per day (injury site) | 2–4 weeks |
| Stack support | 50mcg | With IGF-1 LR3 or GH | 4–6 weeks |
- Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (1–2mL)
- Inject directly into muscle worked (bi-lateral dosing optional)
- Use fine insulin syringe (29–31G) for precision
⚠️ Due to its short half-life (~30 minutes), timing around workouts is critical for max results.
❗ Side Effects & Considerations
- Injection-site irritation (mild)
- Hypoglycemia (rare, but possible with high doses)
- Desensitization if overused
- Not recommended for long-term daily use without cycling
✅ Cycle responsibly and consider 2 weeks on / 2 weeks off or combine with IGF-1 LR3 for sustained effects.
🔗 Best Stack Combinations
- DES (1-3) + IGF-1 LR3 – short- and long-acting synergy
- DES + Growth Hormone (GH) – amplified muscle hyperplasia
- DES + BPC-157 or TB-500 – for injury repair and muscle regeneration
- DES + Androgens (e.g., Testosterone, Tren) – max muscle response
