The short answer

How do IGF-1 LR3 and Tesamorelin differ?

IGF-1 LR3 and Tesamorelin are two separate compounds with separate names, separate vial sizes and separate product pages. We carry both as lyophilized powder for laboratory research.

IGF-1 LR3 comes in a 1mg vial. Tesamorelin comes in 10mg and 20mg vials. Both are listed as a single vial or as a kit.

They are not stand-ins for each other. A lab picks one because the method names it, so start from your protocol and then match the name and the size.

Names

What other names do you see for each one?

Search results mix several names for the same compound. IGF-1 LR3 also appears as Long R3 IGF-1 and as LR3-IGF-1. Tesamorelin also appears as TH9507.

The extended name for Tesamorelin on our record is Trans-3-hexenoyl GRF (1-44) amide. You may see it on a label in place of the short name.

If a listing uses a name that is not in the table, ask the seller to confirm which compound it is before you go further.

Sizes

Which vial sizes does each compound come in?

IGF-1 LR3 is sold in one size, a 1mg vial. Tesamorelin is sold in two, 10mg and 20mg. If your method needs more than one vial of IGF-1 LR3, a kit holds several vials of the same size.

The product pages show which kits are open right now. We leave the amounts to the order box so this page never goes stale.

Read the size on the cap and on the label before you start work, and write it in your notes. See the IGF-1 LR3 page and the Tesamorelin page for specs.

Paperwork

What should you look for on a lab report?

Open the certificate page and see what is on file for the compound you want. A complete report names the lab, the test date, the purity figure and the mass.

Read the mass line against the compound named on the label. If the report and the label do not describe the same compound, stop and ask the seller.

Keep a copy of the report with your lab notes so the compound, the size and the paperwork stay together.

  • Purity figure
  • Mass that fits the compound

Reading labels

How do you tell the two labels apart?

The names can look alike on a crowded shelf. Read the full name on the vial, not the first letters.

IGF-1 LR3 will say IGF-1 LR3 or Long R3 IGF-1 and carry a 1mg size. Tesamorelin will say Tesamorelin or TH9507 and carry 10mg or 20mg. A label that mixes the two names is worth a question to the seller.

Check the cap too. A cap that turns freely is a reason to contact the seller before you open the vial.

Next step

How do you pick between the two for your method?

Write down the compound your protocol names, the vial size it needs and how many vials the series will use. That short list settles most of the choice before you open a product page.

If the protocol names IGF-1 LR3, the 1mg vial or its kit is the match. If it names Tesamorelin, pick the 10mg or 20mg vial, or a kit of the size you need.

Then read the report on file, check the label against it, and keep both with your notes. If anything does not match, contact the seller first.
