IGF-DES
Price and cost-per-mg comparison
Des(1-3)IGF-1 (des-IGF-1; truncated IGF-1) is a naturally occurring truncated form of IGF-1 found in brain tissue and colostrum, lacking the first three N-terminal amino acids (Gly-Pro-Glu) of the full-length molecule, which significantly reduces its affinity for IGF-binding proteins while largely preserving IGF-1 receptor binding affinity and activating potency. The reduced IGFBP binding of des-IGF-1 is proposed to result in greater bioavailability in CNS tissue where IGFBP-2 normally limits IGF-1 activity; it has been studied as an endogenous component of human cerebrospinal fluid and colostrum, where it may play a role in neural development and neonatal gut maturation. No published human clinical trials, pharmacokinetic studies, or controlled safety evaluations of exogenous des-IGF-1 administration exist in PubMed-indexed journals; available indexed literature is limited to in vitro receptor binding studies, animal models of neurological conditions, and anti-doping detection assays used to identify its presence as a prohibited substance in athletic drug testing. Des(1-3)IGF-1 has no FDA approval or approved indication in any jurisdiction; it is a research compound with no clinical evidence base, classified as a prohibited substance in sport by WADA, and its use as an administered compound carries entirely uncharacterized risks given the absence of any published human data.

When IGF-DES prices moved
1 day in the last 120 on which a feed run read comparable IGF-DES prices from 3 or more vendors. Each point is the median $/mg across every comparable listing read that day, sized by how many vendors were read. A log of run days, not a continuous series.
How these prices are computed
The short version. The methodology page has the rest.
Source
Prices are read from each vendor's own store feed or product markup (Vendor feed). Every row says which source it came from and when it was read. Prices parsed from page text are not in this index.
$/mg
Listed price ÷ stated milligrams, converted to USD. Packs are priced on total milligrams. Listings sold per kit, per ml, as capsules or sprays, as blends, or without a stated mass are shown but not ranked.
Population
Active online research vendors only. Clinic, pharmacy and telehealth prices are excluded. Medians and the p25–p75 band are computed over comparable listings, one row per vendor product and size.
