What is IGF-1 DES?
IGF-1 DES is IGF-1, a growth factor and research protein the body makes in response to growth hormone, with the first three links of its chain removed. Native IGF-1 is 70 links long; this version is 67. It is not purely a laboratory invention: researchers have found the shortened form in cow colostrum, in human brain tissue and in pig uterus, where it appears to be made by the body cutting the longer form. The three missing links include the one that anchors IGF-1 to its carrier proteins.

IGF-1 DES Research & Reference
What IGF-1 DES does in published studies, and how to work with it in the laboratory, are covered in full on two dedicated pages rather than summarised here, so neither the evidence nor the handling detail is cut short.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is IGF-1 DES third-party tested for purity?+−
Yes. Every batch of IGF-1 DES is tested by an independent third-party laboratory using HPLC and MS-UPLC, confirming purity and mass identity before the batch is released. Pure Peptides does not test its own material.
What does "Research Use Only" mean?+−
It means IGF-1 DES is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research and for no other purpose, and must not be administered to humans or animals. IGF-1 DES is legal to purchase in the United States for in vitro and non-clinical laboratory research. It carries no FDA approval or therapeutic indication for human use. As an IGF-1 analogue, IGF-1 DES appears in section S2 of the WADA Prohibited List for competitive athletes, a separate consideration from its legal research status. Sold strictly for qualified research use, not human or veterinary administration.
How is IGF-1 DES shipped and stored?+−
IGF-1 DES ships from US stock with cold-chain packaging and full tracking; orders placed before noon EST on business days are typically dispatched the same business day. On arrival, store the lyophilized powder at -20°C or below, dry and protected from light.
