IGF-1 DES 1 Deus Medical

IGF-1 DES 1 Deus Medical

IGF-1 DES 1 by Deus Medical features Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 DES 1-3, an ultra-potent, truncated version of the standard IGF-1 hormone. In the natural 70-amino acid chain of IGF-1, the first three amino acids are removed to create the DES variant.¹ This modification makes it approximately 10 times more potent than standard IGF-1.²

Because it has a very low affinity for binding proteins, IGF-1 DES stays "free" and active at the injection site for a short but intense duration. This makes it the premier choice for athletes seeking localized muscle growth and extreme nutrient partitioning directly into the targeted muscle group.

Technical Product Specifications

Core Performance & Anabolic Benefits

• Targeted Site Enhancement: Unlike other growth factors that circulate systemically, IGF-1 DES is uniquely effective when injected into a specific muscle. It drives protein synthesis and satellite cell proliferation directly where it is applied.

• Superior Receptor Binding: By bypassing Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Proteins (IGFBPs), the peptide binds more efficiently to the IGF-1 receptors in muscle tissue, triggering a stronger anabolic response.

• Hyperplasia Potential: Research suggests IGF-1 can promote hyperplasia—the splitting of cells to create new muscle fibers—rather than just making existing fibers larger.

• Extreme Recovery: It accelerates the repair of muscle, bone, and nerve tissue, significantly shortening the "refractory period" between brutal training sessions.

• Lactic Acid Clearance: Users often report a significant reduction in muscle soreness and a faster clearance of waste products from the muscle during and after training.

Usage, Reconstitution & Protocols

IGF-1 DES is fast-acting and should be timed specifically around your training window.

Reconstitution: Add 1 ml or 2 ml of Bacteriostatic Water or Acetic Acid to the 1 mg vial.

• If using 1 ml of water, a 50 mcg dose is exactly 5 units on a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

Important: To achieve localized growth, split the dose (e.g., 25 mcg into the left bicep and 25 mcg into the right bicep).

Side Effects & Safety Management

• Hypoglycemia (Crucial): IGF-1 DES mimics insulin and can cause blood sugar to drop rapidly. Always consume 30–50g of carbohydrates immediately after your injection to prevent dizziness or fainting.

• Localized Pumps: Some users experience extreme, almost painful "pumps" in the injected muscle.

• Joint Discomfort: Rapid growth can sometimes outpace tendon adaptation; ensure adequate mineral intake.

• Non-Suppressive: IGF-1 DES does not affect testosterone levels and does not require a PCT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is IGF-1 DES better than IGF-1 LR3?

They serve different purposes. LR3 has a long half-life and works systemically across the whole body.3 DES is much more potent but has a very short half-life (about 20–30 minutes), making it specifically better for localized "site" growth and post-workout recovery.

2. Can I use this on rest days?

While you can, its greatest value is found post-workout when the muscle receptors are highly sensitized. Most users reserve IGF-1 DES for training days only.

3. Does it help with fat loss?

Yes, indirectly. By shifting the body's metabolism toward nutrient partitioning into muscle cells, it forces the body to use stored fat for its general energy needs.

4. How many doses are in one 1 mg vial?

At a dosage of 50 mcg per day, one vial provides 20 doses.
