IGF-DES (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 DES(1-3)) is an ultra-potent peptide derivative of IGF-1 that offers unique advantages in site-specific muscle growth, injury repair, and cellular regeneration. With a significantly shorter half-life than IGF-1 LR3, IGF-DES is designed for localized anabolic effects and can bind with high affinity to IGF-1 receptors in damaged or targeted tissue. In this […]
MOTS-c is a mitochondrial-derived peptide (MDP) that’s quickly gaining attention in the worlds of longevity, fat loss, insulin regulation, and athletic performance. Unlike most peptides that originate from nuclear DNA, MOTS-c is encoded within the mitochondria, offering unique metabolic effects at the cellular energy level. In this guide, you’ll learn: → What MOTS-c is and how […]
Peptides are often hyped for their ability to boost muscle, burn fat, or enhance performance—but some of the most powerful compounds in your body don’t work that way. Humanin is one of them. Instead of pushing hormones or building mass, Humanin works behind the scenes—protecting your cells from stress, inflammation, and aging itself. It’s part of […]
The 777 Total Gym Summer Sizzle Challenge 7 Moves • 7 Days a Week • Build to 7 Rounds Maria Sollon, MS, CSCS, PES Summer has a rhythm of its own and sometimes, that rhythm doesn’t include your usual workout. Longer days, hotter temperatures, spontaneous plans… it’s easy for fitness routines to slide. But here’s […]
Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Long Arg3—better known as IGF‑1 LR3—is a modified version of the naturally occurring IGF‑1 hormone, prized for its ability to increase muscle hypertrophy, enhance recovery, and promote cellular growth. With a longer half-life and enhanced potency compared to standard IGF‑1, LR3 has quickly become a go-to peptide for athletes looking to build muscle, […]
