Ibutamoren (MK-677)

Ibutamoren is a potent, long-acting oral peptide focused on ghrelin receptors. It has been shown to increase the secretion of several hormones including GH and IGF-1. It is orally active and can be taken once a day. These are all benefits compared with other growth hormone stimulators. It is best prescribed to be taken before bed to maximize the body’s natural cycle of growth hormone and stimulate the pituitary gland during REM sleep.

What Is The Point Of Taking Ibutamoren?

A great thing about Ibutamoren is that it increases growth hormone levels with little or no increase in other hormones, such as cortisol. Cortisol suppresses the immune system, reduces wound healing, and impairs learning and memory, and it’s usually not good to have this hormone elevated. In addition, this peptide has shown to increase IGF-1 levels for up to 24 hours with a single oral dose.
