About

Jon Andersen explains why IGF-1 LR3 is, in his view, a direct way to support muscle-building compared with growth hormone secretagogues like tesamorelin and CJC that aim to raise IGF-1 indirectly. He highlights IGF-1 LR3’s longer half-life (~15–16 hours) versus regular IGF-1 (minutes) and shares a practical approach of morning dosing so it remains active through later training. He notes dosing is tricky because amounts are very small (often from a 1 mg vial) and uses “nasty pumps” in the gym as a real-world cue for finding a “sweet spot,” emphasizing starting low and avoiding excess due to potential blood sugar issues. He describes a late-50s client who gained strength and body weight while getting leaner with adequate protein, training, sleep, and cycling use, and mentions stacking with Retta. He points viewers to his education platforms for protocols and dosing, and states this is not medical advice.Jon Andersen is a pro bodybuilder, pro strongman, and the strongest man in North America.
