MK677, also known as Ibutamoren, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that is known for its ability to increase growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in the body.
MK677 works by stimulating the pituitary gland to release more growth hormone and IGF-1, which then leads to increased muscle growth and improved recovery time. MK677 has also been shown to improve bone density and overall bone health.
The half-life of MK677 is relatively long, at approximately 24 hours. This means that it can be taken once per day to maintain stable blood levels.
The recommended dosage for MK677 is typically between 10-30mg per day, although individual tolerance and response may vary. It is always recommended to start with the lowest effective dose and gradually increase as needed.
As with any performance-enhancing substance, MK677 does come with some potential side effects. These may include water retention, increased appetite, and fatigue. Additionally, MK677 may cause some temporary joint pain or stiffness, particularly in the morning. As with any supplement or medication, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before using MK677.
