IGF-1 LR3: 1 mg vial with 3 mL water
Quick answer
Adding 3 mL of bacteriostatic water to a 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 vial gives 0.33 mg/mL (333.3 mcg/mL), so each unit on a U-100 insulin syringe holds 3.3 mcg. A 20 mcg dose is 6 units (0.06 mL), and the vial holds about 50 doses of that size.
Concentration
- Vial: 1 mg IGF-1 LR3
- Bacteriostatic water: 3 mL (the volume in the Crestigen protocol)
- Concentration: 0.33 mg/mL (333.3 mcg/mL)
- 1 unit on a U-100 syringe = 3.3 mcg
IGF-1 LR3 dose to syringe units
| Dose | Syringe units (U-100) | Volume | Doses per vial |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 mcg (protocol dose) | 6 units | 0.06 mL | 50 |
| 40 mcg (protocol dose) | 12 units | 0.12 mL | 25 |
| 50 mcg (protocol dose) | 15 units | 0.15 mL | 20 |
| 100 mcg | 30 units | 0.3 mL | 10 |
| 200 mcg | 60 units | 0.6 mL | 5 |
| 250 mcg | 75 units | 0.75 mL | 4 |
| 300 mcg | 90 units | 0.9 mL | 3 |

Common questions
How many units is 20 mcg of IGF-1 LR3 from a 1 mg vial with 3 mL water?
20 mcg is 6 units (0.06 mL) on a U-100 insulin syringe. With 3 mL of water in a 1 mg vial, each unit holds 3.3 mcg. For comparison: 40 mcg = 12 units, 50 mcg = 15 units, 100 mcg = 30 units.
What is the concentration of a 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 vial mixed with 3 mL of water?
1 mg divided by 3 mL is 0.33 mg/mL, or 333.3 mcg per mL. On a U-100 syringe (100 units = 1 mL) that is 3.3 mcg per unit.
How many 20 mcg doses are in a 1 mg vial?
About 50. The water volume changes how many units each dose takes, not how many doses the vial holds.
How much water should I add to a 1 mg IGF-1 LR3 vial?
3 mL is the volume used in the Crestigen IGF-1 LR3 protocol. More water makes each dose a larger, easier-to-measure number of units; less water keeps injections smaller.
