What this study tells us

This was analytical or product-characterisation research rather than a treatment trial. It can help establish identity, composition or detectability, but it does not prove a health benefit.

Who was studied?

Injection vial obtained from black market

How many?

n=1 product

What happened?

The product contained His-tagged Long-R3-IGF-I, a biochemical-research form whose human effects were not established.

What stops us overclaiming?

Analytical case, not clinical exposure evidence; reinforces product-identity and quality risk.
