What You Should Know About SARMs and MK677
When every second personal trainer in London and Toronto says take “SARMs”, there is probably a reason why: To produce quicker results when helping clients get ripped and add lean muscle. So what is it about SARMs and MK677 that makes it so popular?
There is so much hype right now about SARMs and MK677 in the fitness world for a good reason. These two substances share some similarities. SARM is a synthetic drug that is similar to steroids and does what steroids do but without the side effects. It was developed for treating muscle and bone loss but became a performance enhancing drug and bodybuilding supplement in the fitness world. Similarly, MK677, a growth hormone secretagogue, was developed to combat hormone deficiency, muscle and bone loss and obesity but also became a popular performance enhancing drug and a bodybuilding supplement.
Benefits of MK677
Improves muscle mass: In athletes, MK677 dramatically increases lean body mass, and the levels of energy, endurance, strength and nitrogen retention within 10 to 16 weeks of use. It also reduces fat levels in the body.
Minimises muscle wasting: MK677 is considered to be one of the best performance-enhancing drugs to reverse diet-induced weight loss that can happen with muscle wasting. This reduces the number of falls in elderly patients with hip fractures.
Improves bone density. In the same way that it improves muscle strength and mass, MK677 also improves bone density, preventing or reversing the effects of osteoporosis. This is a huge benefit for athletes, bodybuilders and the elderly alike.
Accelerates healing: For elderly people and athletes alike, MK677 improves the ability to heal and strengthen bones, tendons and ligaments, which is why it is ideal for athletes and bodybuilders in the recovery phase or who have old bone or tissue injuries.
Improves appetite: MK677 helps bodybuilders and athletes in a caloric deficit state by inducing hunger and triggering the consumption of more calories. It also increases Ghrelin (a hunger hormone) which plays the critical role of regulating the use of stored fat. Therefore, users of MK677 can retain muscles they have worked hard to grow even when they are on a caloric deficit state.
Improves general health: MK677 improves the health and quality of the hair, nails and the skin by inducing the generation of new collagen cells. It also improves appetite, biological rhythms and a general sense of wellbeing.
Improves sleep quality: Past scientific studies found that MK677 positively influences the length of deep or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and overall sleep quality.
Improves appetite: MK677 helps bodybuilders and athletes in a caloric deficit state by inducing hunger and triggering the consumption of more calories. It also increases Ghrelin (a hunger hormone) which plays the critical role of regulating the use of stored fat. Therefore, users of MK677 can retain muscles they have worked hard to grow retina specialist even when they are on a caloric deficit state.
Treats deficiency of growth hormone: MK-677 increases the levels of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) and IGF-1, a growth hormone, in children suffering from growth hormone deficiency. It works without causing any change in the concentrations of thyrotropin, cortisol, prolactin, thyroxine (T4), glucose, triiodothyronine (T3) and insulin. This helps the children to grow without any side effects.
Improves longevity: The improved bone and muscle health, improved sleep and better mental health all lead to a longer healthy life.
One big advantage that it has over other externally administered human growth hormones is that it is taken orally and has no need for daily injections. Users are therefore spared the pain of regular injections. It is best stacked with SARMs like Ostarine, Ligandrol and other good brands.
Risks of MK677
So far MK677 has been found safe for use by athletes and elderly people. It is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women and children below 21 years old. It is also not recommended for people who are hypersensitive to the active ingredient. Use of this drug should follow doctor’s recommendation and the dosage should not be altered as that may cause side effects. MK677 can be stored for many years without going rancid.
It is also wise to remember that MK677 is currently being marketed as a “research chemical” meaning that it has not yet been authorized for use on humans by government agencies. You will find it under the names Ibutamoren, Nutrabol and Ibutamoren Mesylate. Also, it is being marketed under these names as an SARM because of its ability to encourage muscle mass growth and because it is easier not to explain what it is. In truth, MK 677 is not an SARM. Caution should be exercised when buying MK677 products. Buy only from reputable companies and stores. There you have it, the information is now out there. Now whether the support is for kettlebells or dumbbells, since it usually seems to end up being about kettlebells vs dumbbells, go work that body.
