Peptide of the Week: IGF-1 LR3 & VIP

Peptide of the Week: IGF-1 LR3 & VIP – Muscle Growth, Nutrient Partitioning & Neurovascular Health


Welcome back, warriors! In this episode of Peptide of the Week, JD Denham and William T. Haas dive into two radically different but complementary compounds: IGF-1 LR3, the go-to for muscle growth and nutrient partitioning and VIP (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide), a powerful vasodilator and neuroprotective agent used for brain, lung, and cardiovascular health.


If you’re chasing strength, size, and post-workout recovery, IGF-1 LR3 is your ticket. And if you’re battling brain fog, inflammation, lung issues, or poor circulation VIP brings the clarity.


We cover:


💪 What IGF-1 LR3 is and how it differs from standard IGF-1

🔥 Why it’s essential for muscle hypertrophy, nutrient shuttling, and fat burning

🍚 Glycemic index breakdown how good vs. bad carbs affect your physique

📆 Timing protocols why IGF-1 LR3 is best post-workout with protein + carbs

🥩 How to use it strategically with keto or carnivore diets (hint: not daily!)

📈 Ideal stacks: Tessamorelin, Ipamorelin, and HGH secretagogues

🚫 Who shouldn’t use it especially if you’re carb-depleted or hypoglycemic

🧠 What VIP is and how it enhances blood flow, neuroprotection, and digestion

💓 Uses for COPD, heart health, lung inflammation, and boosting brain function

💉 Proper VIP dosing (start LOW) to avoid flush, nausea, or GI discomfort

🧬 Synergistic stacks: VIP with NAD+, Thymosin Alpha-1, Glutathione & B12

📌 Lifestyle tips how to use carbs, meal timing, and blood sugar hacks for optimal peptide results


💡 Whether you’re packing on lean muscle or supporting lung, brain, and circulatory health IGF-1 LR3 and VIP offer cutting-edge benefits when used wisely.


⚠️ Peptides are amino acid chains. Not steroids. Not shortcuts. Just science that works when paired with discipline.
