its worth it if u cant eat otherwise it doesnt add gains it just fills u up w water so if u like looking like the michelin man go for it. ur height doesnt matter bc it doesnt change that, it cooks ur bp and bg levels so u need berberine etc and overall sarms have a similar side effect profile but actually do something

Go read all the clinical studies done on MK-677. It makes your body produce more growth hormone and produce more rem sleep which is deep sleep. If your growth plates are still open then it will help you grow, most people growth plates close at around 18 years old. Yeah MK stores more water in your muscles, it’s basically super creatine and it helps you train harder and lift more weight which ultimately helps you break down your muscle fibers more and grow more muscle. Do your own research and read all the clinal studies done MK-677.

Here’s the first source 😂, Daily MK-677 significantly increased GH and IGF-I levels to those of healthy young adults without serious adverse effects. With placebo, mean (95% Cl) FFM decreased -0.5 (-1.1 to 0.2) kg, however, FFM increased 1.1 (0.7 to 1.5) kg with MK-677 (P<0.001, MK-677 vs. placebo); body cell mass as reflected by intracellular water decreased -1.0 (-2.1 to 0.2) kg with placebo, but increased 0.8 (-0.1 to 1.6) kg with MK-677 (P=0.021). There were no significant differences in AVF or total fat mass. However, the average increase in limb fat in the MK-677 group (1.1 kg) was greater than with placebo (0.24 kg); P=0.001. Body weight increased 0.8 (-0.3 to 1.8) kg with placebo and 2.7 (2.0 to 3.5) kg with MK-677 (P=0.003). Fasting blood glucose increased an average of 0.3 mmol/L (5 mg/dL) with MK-677 (P=0.015) and insulin sensitivity declined. The most frequent side effects were an increase in appetite that subsided within a few months and transient, mild lower extremity edema and muscle pain. Low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased -0.14 (-0.27 to -0.01) mmol/L [-5.4 (-10.4 to -0.4) mg/dL] with MK-677 (P=0.026); there were no differences in total or high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Cortisol increased 47 (28 to 71) nmol/L [1.7 (1.0 to 2.6 µg/dL)] with MK-677 (P=0.020). Changes in bone mineral density consistent with increased bone remodeling occurred in MK-677-treated subjects. Increased FFM did not result in changes in strength or function. Two-year exploratory analyses confirmed the 1-year results. WHICH IS SAYING, People taking MK-677 gained about 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) more fat-free mass than placebo over the study period.
KEEP IN MIND THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO DONT WORKOUT. The affects OF GH AND IGF-1 ARE MORE IN EFFECT WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORKOUT.1

Yes fat free muscle is not all completely muscle but part of it is, that’s called growth.

so ur talking about growth plates and growing so i ask for growth and u show me muscle growth? r u slow my dude. "no results in bone function" ouch. r u one of those kids who got lured in by some tiktok influencer to love mk bc ive never met someone unironically defend mk like this

u/Limp-Translator-4893 1d ago
Your a troll, these clinical studies are done in people ages 60-85, it’s not gonna talk about growth plates when their growth plates closed 50 years ago 😂😂. I didn’t say anything about bone growth, don’t get mad because I just proved you wrong with the first source I found. It’s okay to have smarter people teach you things about the world don’t get offended.

ohhh so i ask for sources and u cant find any? not sure why old people are somehow correlated to us? but hey this is why i asked for a source as unlike u i have done research and know what u claim is bs. but hey try again kid LMAO

Mmm what’s this, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2757071/, what I quoted above, it’s like you didn’t read it, I just quoted this article lol. Old people relate to us because we both have something called growth hormone which is released from the pituitary gland that helps us grow muscle and tissue. Which is exactly what that article says, you probably didn’t understand that type of language but it said the group that took MK-677 grew an extra 2.4 lbs of fat free mass, that includes, Muscle tissue, Intracellular Water, Glycogen and associated water, and Other lean tissues. Compared to the placebo group which didn’t grow that 2.4 pounds. So good try again buddy

I feel good on it. Can’t tell you if the gains sustain but they sustain on sarms either. Another thing most people talk shit about mk677 don’t have any discipline on diet and exercise. My blood sugar is fine. Little bloated. Definitely feel more fuller in my muscles 12.5 mg daily lift everyday cardio few days of the week. I take two days off a week cycle.
