When it comes to building muscle, there are few options that are as powerful as anabolic steroids but with damn near none of the risk. There are SARMs, which are selective androgen receptor modulators, but what about something that is similar to SARMS but not quite?

We found a solution to that here at Cognitropics, and its name is Ibutamoren mesylate or MK-677 (formerly known as MK-0677, L-163,191).

What is MK-677?

Despite being mislabeled as a SARM, MK-677 is not one. MK-677 is a growth hormone secretagogue or HGH-S. It is comparable to an oral HGH that can be run indefinitely. It has a long half-life of 24 hours.

Originally, it was formulated to assist with health problems like muscle deterioration, osteoporosis, and obesity. However, it has significant anabolic effects shown to increase lean body mass.

How does MK-677 Nutrobal work?

MK-677 is a selective agonist of ghrelin receptors and to secretagogue, the growth hormone. It mimics the growth hormone stimulation action that the hormone ghrelin creates. This creates a stimulation in the brain to release growth hormone. In other words, it stimulates your hormones in an anabolic way similar to prohormones and steroids.

Another great thing is that it does not affect cortisol levels. Additionally, Nutrobal increases plasma growth hormone levels in humans and animals significantly.

Benefits of taking MK-677 Ibutamoren

In addition to an incredible increase in your growth hormones while on MK-677, you’ll receive a world of other benefits. In some labs, it has shown a way to change the elasticity of skin after weight loss. In other words, it gets tighter and less loose.

This will increase your basal metabolic rate. Your fat will melt off through the increase in oxidation. In some cases, people can eat at or above their maintenance TDEE and still lose weight. Your metabolism will be insane!

It will help increase your endurance. Not only will you be shredded, but you won’t be winded walking up stairs.

Using MK-677 on a cut will allow you to retain the muscle growth that you built up throughout your bulk.

You’ll build an insane amount of lean muscle mass and increase size in the process.

Your old injuries will heal faster including in your ligaments, tendons, and bones. HGH is known to strengthen ligaments, tendons, bones, and helps with your hair.

You’ll be able to sleep so much better on MK-677. Some studies have shown an increase in vivid dreaming. Labs reported users waking up more well-rested like they were moving around less in their sleep. Some users won’t even wake up in the middle of the night to take their midnight peepee break. Don’t worry, they weren’t wetting the bed.

With the increase in HGH, your skin will look a whole lot better and your hair will grow faster and thicker. That’s good for the bearded bros out there.

How to take MK-677 HGH: Dosing

The best part of MK-677 is that it is taken orally. No extraneous injections for you guys that aren’t too keen on injectables. Depending on the brand, you may chew it, swallow it whole, or let it dissolve under your tongue. Easy stuff.

On the low end, you’re going to want to take around 10mg. This is enough to improve HGH levels enough to see an impact on fat burning and increased stamina. If you’re a smaller person you can get away with taking 10 to 15mg.

The average someone takes is about 25mg. This has the best of both worlds from both 10mg and 50mg, and perfect for someone who’s looking to cut.

For the extreme users, 50mg is more than enough to get your money’s worth. I would recommend going slowly after 25mg to see if you do see an increase in benefits. If you don’t notice any major gains, drop back

There is no problem running it every day, but some users found that running it for five days then off for two helps if you’re prone to joint problems and pain.

Let’s talk price. How much does MK-677 cost?

It really depends on where you buy it from, but depending on your dosage you could run it from $50 to $160 per month.

I’ll repeat, $50 to $160 per month!

Compared to a typical steroid cycle that could run you at an absolute minimum of $1000 a month this is a steal. That’s not including sterilization, syringes, and actually having to extraneously put a substance into your body.

A low-end HGH cycle runs around $350 per month. Like with an anabolic cycle, not including all the other crap that comes along with a cycle.

MK-677 side effects

Now, you would think with a super effective substance like this there would be an insane amount of bad side effects, right? Wrong. Despite the sheer power of MK-677, the side effects range from a mild irritant to a slight inconvenience. How great is that?

The biggest side effect is the huge amount of hunger you’ll have during the first few weeks. Many users combat this by taking it before bed so they can sleep through the hunger pangs. An increase in hunger shouldn’t be that bad for someone that’s trying to gain muscle though.

If you are trying to get bigger and want to eat more, many users benefit from taking it in the morning on an empty stomach. Be hungry all day, eat all day, make gains all day.

You may be tired or get lethargic during the day. Do what you gotta do to get that workout in and get work done.

There is a possibility of getting numb hands and feet. The cause for this is from water retention from taking too much, so ease into it big guy. These effects taper off after about a month or so.

MK-677 stacks

The bulking stack

If you’re trying to bulk with MK-677 and stack it with a SARMS, you’re going to want to look into stacking it with LGD-4033. LGD’s primary focus is on gaining size with the added benefit of strength and quick recovery.

The cutting stack

If you’re trying to cut while you’re running MK-677, you can stack it with the SARM MK-2866 (Ostarine). Some test subjects reporting dropping upwards of 5% bodyfat two weeks into this stack.

Be sure to look into Ostarine so you run at a good dosage and run a PCT after using because it does have estrogen increasing side effects.

The endurance stack

Stacking MK-677 with GW-500516 (Cardarine) will give you the edge if you’re training for endurance sports. Not only will your endurence increase, but you’ll lean out nice if you aren’t already shredded.

Is Mk-677 legal?

You may have to look into local laws in your area, but generally, it is legal. It is legal to buy, sell, and process. It’s not illegal to possess.

It is classified as an unscheduled drug, so it’s not approved or tested fully, hence why it’s sold as a for research only and is sold as not for human consumption.
