Description
Some people mistake MK-677 for a SARM (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator). In reality, it’s actually not a SARM at all, it’s a growth hormone secretagogue.
This means that it will promote the production of GH (Growth Hormone) and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) in the body.
We have it listed under our SARMS category because a lot of people think it’s a SARM, and it’s just to make it easier for these people to find.
How does MK-677 work?:
———————–
MK-677 is a growth hormone secretagogue. This means that it encourages our body to produce more natural growth hormone.
More specifically, it encourages your body to produce more GH (growth hormone) and IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1). For those of you who aren’t familiar with IGF-1, it’s basically a mediator for growth hormone in most cells and tissue.
Gowth hormone levels will be raised to a similar level that they were when we were teenagers.
The benefits are:
——————-
– Reduced body fat
– Increased muscle mass
– Enhanced recovery
– Increased sleep quality
– Increased hair and skin health
Dosing:
——–
Most people see great benefits taking anywhere from 10mg up to 25mg of MK-677 a day. Increased growth hormone levels can take a while to “kick in” so that is why it’s best to take MK-677 for an extended period of time.
Some people take MK-677 for cycles of 16 weeks, then they take a 5-week break and repeat. There are some who like this compound so much that they take it for years without taking breaks. So far the studies found no side effects when taking this compound for an extended period of time. We suggest that you do a 16-20 week cycle then take a break for at least 5 weeks.
Recent research confirms that the half-life of MK-677 is 24 hours.
This means that we can get the most optimal results by taking it once every 24 hours.
Some people take their dosage in the morning and some in the evening. When you take your dosage depends on what you want to do. People who take it in the morning usually see increased hunger and this way they can gain weight faster. Those who take it in the evening avoid the hunger effect and report amazing sleep.
You can even take it a step further and split your dosage into two parts and take the first in the morning and the second in the evening. This results in the most optimal MK 677 levels in your body, it won’t make a huge difference if you just take it once every 24 hours though.
Is a PCT required after using MK-677?:
—————————————-
MK-677 doesn’t reduce our natural production of testosterone. Because of this, we don’t have to worry about doing a PCT (Post Cycle Therapy) after the MK-677 cycle.
In fact, a lot of people even use this compound as a PCT after a steroid / SARM cycle. This is because it will make it easier for them to keep their muscle and strength gains.
If you want to take MK-677 as a PCT for your SARM cycle, take it from the start of the SARM cycle and continue it for 8 weeks after the cycle is over. For example, if you do 8 weeks of SARMs, start MK 677 at week 1 and end it at week 16 or 20. This way you will be able to easily keep all your gains.
