Overview
I started MK677 or ibutamoren this September and took it for 3 months while training consistently. For those who don't know MK677 is a growth hormone secretegogue which means it makes your body produce more growth hormone by mirroring a hormone called ghrelin.
I got it for a fine price but after more research I realize I couldve gotten it elsewhere for cheaper. Either way it had a lot of benefits but also some drawbacks. Hope you fellas enjoy and hopefully I can convince more greys to PEDmax, you wont regret it.

Downsides
Conclusion
TLDR:
MK677 raised Blood glucose, made me not get sore, gave me acne, no height gain, bonus that it can be taken orally.

Benefits
- Sleep
The first major benefit of Mk was better sleep, when i was taking it I would not only get tired easier but I had amazing quality sleep and i would never wake up in the middle of the night which I used to do very often before. I dont know if this was an impact of the MK or if it was placebo or whaat but while i was on it I genuinely had the best sleep of my life.
-Appetite
The second major benefit was my appetite, people arent joking when they talk about the MK hunger, i would take it at night before bed so i would always wake up starving and I started eating breakfast for the first time in my life. This is a huge benefit if u can have self control and fill ur diet with protein and not goyslop.
-Muscle Gain
Finally the muscle gain, good sleep combined with eating a shit ton combined with working out every day combined with increased growth hormone led to me putting on a ton of muscle, I gained about 9 pounds during the 3 months I was on it, not all of it was muscle but a good ammount was. My strength also shot up. (For example when i started i was dumbell pressing 45 lbs for 8 reps, now im db pressing 60s for 6 reps, similar ammount of strength gain across the board) The main upside however was how little I was getting sore while taking it and I was able to train the same muscle group 2 days after training it, leading to me training shoulders multiple times a week.

-Appetite
While the appetite was a benefit for me, if youre trying to cut it can be a major downside and you may get stomach pains throughout the day.
-Blood Glucose
I tracked my blood glucose from my first dose to my last and it definetly shot up, going from 75 up to 90, abt 2 weeks into taking it I tested at 103 and because of that I started taking berberine about an hour before my meals and that lowered it back to healthy levels. The blood glucose meter was super cheap and i ad a poor reaction in terms of my blood sugar but it still never got dangerous and it was 100% worth the strength and muscle gains I made.
-Height Growth
Im gonna mark height growth as a downside not because I shrunk but because most forums about MK claim it will help you grown, I'm already 17 so my growth plates are most likely already closed which may be the reason, but MK didnt help me grow taller at all.
-Acne
Im not sure if its because of the MK but while I was taking it my entire face broke out in really bad acne and after I stopped it went away. Seems like theres some corrleation so beware of that if you start. Im gonna get an Accutane script for next time I take it to try and cut down on this. I'll let you know the results when that time comes, probably around march-ish.

Altogether the MK was definetly worth it, below are pictures of my physique before and after (About 2.5 months in between, I couldnt find a pic from right before I started.) Beyond the physical strength gains I made it was super nice to not have to force myself to eat and not feel super sore after every workout. Definetly a compound I recommend ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT CAN BE TAKEN ORALLY for all my bhais out there with strict parents.
TLDR:
MK677 raised Blood glucose, made me not get sore, gave me acne, no height gain, bonus that it can be taken orally.
