The Science
This advanced peptide blend combines IGF-1 LR3, a long-acting insulin-like growth factor analog, with MOTS-C, a mitochondrial-encoded peptide that regulates cellular metabolism. Together, they create a synergistic protocol addressing both anabolic signaling and metabolic efficiency.
IGF-1 LR3 provides sustained muscle protein synthesis and satellite cell activation through direct IGF-1 receptor engagement, while MOTS-C enhances mitochondrial function, improves insulin sensitivity, and supports metabolic flexibility. This dual mechanism supports muscle growth while optimizing the cellular energy systems required for performance and recovery.
The combination is particularly effective for individuals seeking comprehensive body composition optimization—promoting lean muscle gain through anabolic pathways while enhancing fat metabolism and energy production through mitochondrial enhancement. At BHRC, we use this blend for patients pursuing peak performance and metabolic health.

How It Works
This blend activates both anabolic and metabolic pathways—IGF-1 LR3 drives muscle protein synthesis while MOTS-C optimizes mitochondrial function for enhanced energy production and metabolic health.
IGF-1 LR3 binds to muscle IGF-1 receptors, triggering PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways that promote protein synthesis, satellite cell proliferation, and muscle hypertrophy.
MOTS-C regulates mitochondrial function, improves oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, and enhances cellular ATP production for sustained energy and recovery.
MOTS-C enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism while IGF-1 LR3 increases nutrient partitioning to muscle—creating optimal conditions for lean mass gains and fat utilization.
Clinical Benefits
IGF-1 LR3 drives rapid muscle protein synthesis and hypertrophy while MOTS-C ensures adequate cellular energy to support sustained anabolic activity and training intensity.
Dual support for muscle repair through IGF-1 receptor pathways and enhanced mitochondrial ATP production accelerates recovery between training sessions and reduces fatigue.
MOTS-C enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism while improving fat oxidation—supporting lean mass gains with improved nutrient partitioning and body composition.
Mitochondrial enhancement from MOTS-C increases cellular ATP production and oxidative capacity, supporting improved exercise performance and sustained energy throughout training.
The combination addresses both anabolic signaling and metabolic function simultaneously—creating a more comprehensive approach to performance enhancement than single-peptide protocols.
MOTS-C provides protective effects on mitochondria while supporting metabolic health markers including improved insulin sensitivity, glucose regulation, and reduced oxidative stress.

Questions
This combination addresses both anabolic signaling and metabolic function. IGF-1 LR3 drives muscle protein synthesis and growth while MOTS-C optimizes mitochondrial efficiency and energy production. Together, they create a synergistic effect—building muscle while ensuring your cells have the metabolic capacity to support that growth, recovery, and performance.
The blend is typically administered as a single subcutaneous injection once daily. Our clinical team provides comprehensive training on proper reconstitution, injection technique, site rotation, and storage of both peptides. Some protocols may use specific timing relative to training or meals to optimize nutrient partitioning and metabolic effects.
Users typically report accelerated muscle growth, improved energy levels and endurance, enhanced recovery between sessions, better body composition with lean mass gains, increased training capacity, and improved metabolic markers. Results are maximized when combined with proper training, nutrition, and adequate protein intake. Individual responses vary based on training status, diet, genetics, and baseline metabolic health.
Typical cycles range from 4-6 weeks under medical supervision, followed by an off period to maintain receptor sensitivity for both peptides. Your physician will design a protocol based on your goals, response to therapy, and monitoring data including glucose metabolism, IGF-1 levels, and metabolic health markers.
Potential side effects from IGF-1 LR3 include hypoglycemia, joint discomfort, and water retention. MOTS-C is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild injection site reactions. The combination may affect blood glucose and insulin sensitivity. Blood glucose monitoring is important, especially for those with diabetes or metabolic concerns. All use should be under physician supervision with regular lab monitoring of both anabolic and metabolic markers.
Ideal candidates are adults seeking comprehensive performance enhancement—both muscle growth and metabolic optimization—who have plateaued with conventional approaches. Those with metabolic concerns, fatigue, or poor recovery despite adequate training may particularly benefit from the mitochondrial support. Contraindications include active malignancy, uncontrolled diabetes, pregnancy, or history of certain cancers. A physician consultation with comprehensive lab work is required to assess candidacy.
Monitoring includes regular glucose testing, IGF-1 levels, metabolic panels, insulin sensitivity markers, mitochondrial function indicators, and clinical assessments. Body composition tracking via DEXA or other methods quantifies muscle gain and fat loss. Your physician schedules follow-ups every 2-4 weeks during active cycles to ensure safety, assess metabolic response, and optimize results from both peptides.
