Regulatory status
Research only
This substance is sold and handled as a research material and is not approved for human use. There is no approved label, which means there is no agency-reviewed information about how it should be handled, who should avoid it, or what happens alongside other medicines.
Not approved for human use
A regulatory status describes paperwork, not safety. An approved compound can still be wrong for a given person, and an unapproved one is neither thereby dangerous nor thereby fine.
Half-life
Not established in a public source. Half-life is an educational pharmacology figure, drawn from public sources, and is not a schedule or dosing instruction.
Storage & handling
No approved label defines handling.

01What is IGF-1 DES?+
A truncated form of insulin-like growth factor 1 missing the first three N-terminal amino acids, a change that lowers its affinity for the IGF binding proteins that normally hold the full-length hormone. Characterised in laboratory studies. Not approved for human use. It is also referred to as DES(1-3)IGF-1, des(1-3)IGF-I. It is listed here under Growth Hormone as educational reference, which is not a recommendation to use it.
