Can This Peptide (MK-677) Reverse The Effects Of Aging?
Aside from wrinkly skin and lack of flexibility, there are other problems with growing older like less muscle and less bone density. If you are feeling the effects of old age then you are in luck because there is a natural way to stimulate your own growth hormone without artificially changing your levels. Before I share the secret to increasing your own GH let me share with you why growth hormone is so important. According to Healthline.com, “Human growth hormone is important for growth, cell regeneration, and cell reproduction. It helps to maintain, build, and repair healthy tissue. This hormone can help to speed up healing after an injury and repair muscle tissue after exercise. This helps to build muscle mass, boost metabolism, and burn fat.” So, make sure you have high growth hormone levels. But how do you increase them without artificially elevating them?
The answer is through a peptide called MK-677. “Ibutamoren mesylate (MK-677), an orally active nonpeptide growth hormone (GH) secretagogue, stimulates GH release through a pituitary and hypothalamic receptor that is different from the GH-releasing hormone receptor” (1). Let us take a look at what the research says about Mk-677. Maybe it can actually help us. If so, let us see how.
Reduces Muscle Wasting
According to this study done on eight healthy volunteers who were calorically restricted, MK-677 reverses diet-induced nitrogen wasting (2).
Increase in Growth Hormone and IGF-1
“Daily MK-677 significantly increased GH and IGF-I levels to those of healthy young adults without serious adverse effects” (3).
Increases in Muscle Mass
MK-677 increased Growth Hormone and fat-free mass over 12 months (3).
Thicker Bones
A study showed changes in bone mineral density consistent with increased bone remodeling occurred in subjects treated with MK-677 (3).
Blood Sugar Control
There is evidence showing that both GH and MK-677 increases insulin resistance and blood glucose in the elderly (3).
Conclusion
There is some evidence to support that MK-677 can help those who are experiencing age related loss of muscle, loss of bone mineral density, and blood sugar problems. If this is something you are experiencing then it would benefit you to give MK-677 a try and see what it can do for your growth hormone levels.
