Mk-677 (Ibutamoren) for some reason its still something very underrated here. I see only people in growth phase talking about. But its actually very positive for others as well. It addresses many things people here aim a lot, like: more muscular body, less BF, better hair, better skin, anti-aging.
How it works
MK-677 is a peptide, more specifically an HGH secretagogue, meaning it increases the secretion of HGH in the pituitary gland. Researches show that through the HGH increase, it also causes elevated levels of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1).
MK-677 also reduces Somatostatin release, the hormone that prevents HGH secretion when levels get too high in the blood
Main Advantages
1- Increase of Muscles
It stimulates Growth Hormone and IGF-1, both of them very beneficial in increasing muscles. There has been a lot of studies correlating increase in muscles with consuming MK-677. The best dosage for that is 25mg per day. More than that doesn't help much more.
Also, it reduces muscle wasting, which means, less catabolism, you keep more your results.
2- Increase of bone density
Other thing that was proved by studies, increase bone density, as measured by osteocalcin, a marker of bone turnover. For us, looksmaxxers, this has the advantage of providing better bone faces. For those who are still growing (like up to 32 years old +-) it can help, for the rest, still helps by avoiding losing density.
3- Improve sleep
Since Growth Hormone is known to help improve sleep quality, the use of mk-677 improves it. A study showed that in both younger and elderly subjects, Mk-677 improved sleep quality and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep duration.
4- Promotion of better skin
In a study was found that mk-677 increases collagen levels by 26%, therefore leading to a better skin.
5- Promotion of hair growth
A study showed that IGF-1 prevented hair follicles from entering a catagen state (the end of hair follicle growth). Since DHT and IGF-1 act as antagonists to each other, this means that hair follicles with more DHT will have less IGF-1 and vice versa, increasing IGF-1 helps to grow hair.
6- Combat of aging and possible increase of longevity
The decrease of IGF-1 in body with age is associated with more inflammation, thus MK-677 also helps in this part, and its believed even to increase longevity, though it lacks more study related to this part.
7- Loss of weight
Besides buidling more muscle, mk-677 helps to lose fat, thus leading to a reduction in BF. As you all know, its extremely important for a more beautiful face to have a low BF level, like 8-10%.
8- Other benefits
Its also expected to have other benefits, such as:
- Improve overall mood;
- Accelerates healing of soft tissues;
- Boost immune system;
- And may also have a nootropic advantage.
Dosage
As said before, the best dosage for muscle growth is something like 25mg per day, which is associated with an increase of 40% of IGF-1, though many benefits can be also seen with 10-15mg. For those looking for the other objectives, 10mg should be fine.
Safety and side effects
Diverse studies showed that it is safe to take in long term. However, it may have some minors side effects. The most noticeable are lethargy and increase in apetite. Lethargy can be avoided if you take at night, so you wont feel it
Conclusion
With such benefits for looksmaxxers, I see as a very powerful tool to us to consume. I know that its expensive, but for those who can afford it, it's worth. Good to research a good price with a reliable seller.
