Mk-677

[SirIsaacBrock]

Okay so, I've searched high and low on this board for information regarding this, and all I've come across are a few logs of a few guys using it in conjunction with a bunch of other compounds, sarms, ph, peptides, etc.

I've read a few studies but most of them are at elderly people. However one was a 14 fast with a 7 day placebo control vs mk677. The mk677 group showed nitrogen levels and igf-1 levels consistent of not being on a reduced caloric diet while on one. In another growth hormone levels were raised substantially over a 6month to 1 year period of use, but again this was in elderly patients. This could essentially means that you can be in a caloric deficit, and your body not be in a catabolic state, aka, you won't lose your muscle mass.

I know its a growth hormone secretagoge alike peptides like ghrp-2/6 but oral.

I know people claim much better sleep on it - Dylan mentioned sleep issues as a reason he stays away, but all Ive been able to find is people saying they sleep much better on it.

It seems its a compound better suited to prolonged use, and that you likely won't notice any physical affects aside from sleep in the short term, or perhaps even the long term, as the elevation of growth hormone, igf1 and nitrogen levels will aid to muscle building but wont necessarily do it in a fast manner like an androgenic/anabolic compound.

So why aren't more people running this? Cost vs outcome? Its suppsedlyl as effective as ghrp-6 and you dont have to pin yourself multiple times a day (correct me if I am wrong here, but all the reading ive done on peptides includes multiple pins a day to stimulate growth hormone pulses at opportune times). Its also seems like its been aorund quite a long time too.

Now, rather than PM the members who I have seen logging use of this compound, I figured I'd start a thread where anyone and everyone could share their ideas and opinions out in the open, so that other people can find the thread.

I've been on it since the beginning of march. It's a great pep and I'm experiencing the best/deepest sleep of my life. I have had horrible trouble sleeping all of my life and I really attribute my new found great sleep to this chem. I now frequent the REM stage of sleep and remember my dreams more often. Ill continue running it for a few more months and see where it gets me. I've seen good changes In body composition in the last few months but there was an lgd cycle and an arsenal of supps since then so its impossible to attribute all or any recent gains to 677

 

[SirIsaacBrock]

You're actually one of the people I was hoping would respond.

What led you to decide to try MK-677?
Even though you cannot attribute anything directly to the MK-677 do you feel its worth its cost, even if just for the better sleep?

I figure since it increases the GH released in the pulses, combined with the elevated igf-1 levels and the better sleep (which means more GH pulses), its an excellent 'background' compound, if that makes any sense. In theory anyway it seems great, but I have a feeling that the whole 'instant gratification' aspect combined with the cost leads not as many people to use it? We grow in our sleep, so it seems logical to me if we can make sleep as good as it can be, we can grow as much as we possibly can. It seems excellent to me, Im just trying to understand the lack of interest. There seems to be quite a large interest in peptides, perhaps not so much on EF, but in general there is.

 

[Jbranken]

I tried this one because of the lack of logs/info on it. I'd like to increase its popularity and see if i could spark interest in some other chem companies to make it. It's expensive to make obviously

You're right that this isn't an instant gratification type of chem. There aren't many logs or much information out there on it and this is what steers people away. It was never promoted the way other peps and sarms have been in the past few years. One thing I will say is that my recovery time and DOMs has greatly decreased because of the deep sleep it puts me into. Its definitely allowing my body recover and grow more efficiently during sleep. I dose it first thing in the morning at 25mg ED

 

[SirIsaacBrock]

First thing in the morning huh? That doesnt send you wanting to fall asleep? Every log ive found people have dosed about an hour before bed.

Personally I dont see why more havent tried it, seeing as there doesnt seem to really be any side effects, unless you count a deeper sleep as one.

Im definitely considering a go with it, either with s4 and osta and continuing after, or waiting until after the s4osta so i can try and gauge what it can do on its own. Im new to all this but i know id like to see a solo mk677 log.
