Reduces Muscle Wasting

MK-677 has shown in recent studies to alleviate muscle wasting that can be caused by a decline in protein within an individual’s diet. In one study a group of healthy young adults were tested to determine if MK-677 could reverse protein catabolism and the results proved to be quite positive. As a result, MK-677 is theorized to be possibly being an effective treatment for individuals who suffer from catabolic conditions.

Increases Bone Density

Several studies have indicated that long-term use of MK-677 can have tremendous results to increase bone mineral density. This finding can benefit several populations including obese individuals, older adults, and women with menopause. These distinct populations can have detrimental health problems due to low bone mineral density and MK-677 has proven to be an effective treatment for many of them.

In 24 healthy obese male volunteers, ibutamoren increased bone turnover.

In 187 elderly adults (65 years or older), ibutamoren increased bone building, as measured by osteocalcin, a marker of bone turnover in multiple studies.

In one study with 292 post-menopausal women, ibutamoren increased bone mineral density, which helps increase bone strength and prevent osteoporosis.

The groups of people who serve to benefit by MK-677’s ability to increase bone density must research the possibility of any long-term side effects since increases in bone density typically take more than a year’s use.

Improves Sleep

Since Growth Hormone is known to help improve sleep quality, it is commonly thought that Ibutamoren Mesylate can assist with sleep quality since it stimulates production in Growth Hormone.

A study showed that in both younger and elderly subjects, ibutamoren improved sleep quality and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep duration.

Apart from scientific studies, there have been many reports of subjective improvements in sleep quality.

Combats Aging and May Increase Longevity

As seen with other hormones in the body, Growth Hormone naturally begins a steady decline once a certain age is hit. Individuals who are aging can benefit from taking MK 677 since Growth Hormone and IGF-1 will be increased in the body among its consumption. Aging individuals who take MK 677 can improve their overall hormone profiles as they give their declining GH levels (Growth Hormone levels) a boost.

In a study with 65 elderly men and women, daily ibutamoren increased GH and IGF-1 levels to those of healthy young adults without serious adverse effects.

In another study with 24 obese males, ibutamoren rejuvenated the growth hormone profile.

May Have Nootropic Effects

Since MK-677 shares a lot of similar qualities to Ghrelin and binds to its receptors, it is believed that MK 677 can have the same effects on the brain that Ghrelin has.

However, there are no studies that confirm whether or not MK 677 has direct nootropic effects on the brain. Scientists do have hope though that a couple of noticeable indirect methods may explain how MK 677 can be of assistance to cognitive function. Looking back at the previous section, one method that shows promise is Ibutamoren’s ability to improve sleep quality by increasing REM sleep.

Obtaining the proper amount of sleep each night is extremely important when trying to achieve adequate cognitive function. MK-677 can improve cognitive function by assisting individuals with the ability to get a good night’s rest. The ability of MK-677 to stimulate IGF-1 production can also indirectly improve cognitive function based on IGF-1’s role in cognitive function. One study indicated that IGF-1 positively affected participants’ ability to perform well on cognitive tests. We know that sleep is essential for good cognitive function.

Beneficial in Treating Growth Hormone Deficiency

Ibutamoren can increase growth hormone, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 levels in children with growth hormone deficiency. Furthermore, these effects are achieved without changing the concentrations of prolactin, glucose, triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyrotropin, cortisol or insulin.

In severely GH-deficient men, ibutamoren increased IGF-1 and growth hormone, with no significant changes in cortisol, PRL, and thyroid hormone levels. However, insulin and glucose were increased.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS OF MK-677

MK 677 has not produced very many side effects for its users to be concerned about, but certain populations may have some side effects to look out for.

Individuals who are vulnerable to insulin sensitivity or who have Diabetes may be at risk when taking MK-677. Symptoms associated with these conditions could possibly be exacerbated by the use of MK 677. As with any other compound, correct dosing and usage of MK-677 is the key. In studies that looked at how MK-677 increases muscle mass, the dosage was key. Side effects of MK-677 are usually the result of a handful of two things: improper dosage and extended use.

Reported side effects of MK-677 are typically the result of unnaturally high levels of growth hormone in the body from taking too much too often, which include:

• Increased appetite
• Lethargy
• Joint pain if you have previous medical conditions or elevated hormone levels
• Insulin resistance
• Possible increase in prolactin levels, which can be controlled

When dosed properly, the side effects of MK-677 are minimal to none compared to the results you get from taking it properly.
