MK 677 Benefits

Muscle Growth and Recovery
Both IGF-1 and Human Growth Hormone (HGH) have a beneficial impact on muscle
growth and recovery.
Increased HGH can help improve muscle mass, even without impacting protein
synthesis. It also helps boost muscle protein synthesis and fuel metabolism in
endurance athletes.
Meanwhile, IGF-1 plays a key role in muscle health through reducing muscle breakdown
signals and promoting signalling that encourage muscle growth and development.
HGH and IGF-1 can also increase the number of cells in your muscles by activating
surrounding “satellite cells”, which could permanently improve your potential for
strength and muscle growth.
IGF-1 also reduces inflammation that can cause muscle breakdown, depresses the
immune system and slows down recovery from training. It may also preserve and
promote nerve health. MK-677 has also been reported to help sleep quality, which can
indirectly improve recovery further.
So, increasing levels of these two hormones can help improve how quickly, and how well
you recover from training. This can help boost fitness levels and performance, hence its
growing popularity in bodybuilding.
Take care if you’re competing though, as the World Anti-Doping Agency consider this a
“banned substance” and test for it when assessing high level athletes.

Fat Loss
Another benefit of higher HGH levels is fat loss. Multiple studies have shown that higher
HGH can both increase fat burning and lead greater fat loss. HGH also helps preserve
muscle mass when reducing calories. This is partly because of better nutrient absorption
and use.
Interestingly, IGF-1 has an opposite effect. High levels of the hormone have been shown
to reduce fat breakdown and even lower insulin sensitivity.
Fortunately, the effects of HGH seem to override the above issues, leading to an overall
loss of fat and higher metabolism with MK-677 supplementation.
So, if improving your physique or fighting obesity is your goal, MK-677 can help you
reach it.

Bone Health and Development
Another perk of the improved nutrient metabolism HGH brings is improved bone health.
Higher HGH levels are associated with higher bone density and development.
This means that supplementing with MK-677 could help prevent injuries like stress
fractures in athletes. It could also be useful in preventing osteoporosis and reducing
bone fractures in the elderly.
Tendon Growth and Injury Prevention
Its value is further improved by its impact on connective tissue like tendons and
ligaments. Higher HGH has been shown to boost connective tissue development, which
could help prevent injury.

Anti-Aging
Along with benefits to bone health in elderly people, one of the primary uses of products
like MK-677 is in fighting aging. This is because higher HGH levels help promote growth
and recovery in older cells.
This combines with the anti-inflammatory actions of IGF-1 mentioned above to help
maintain cell health and prevent breakdown. Meanwhile, higher IGF-1 levels may help
maintain brain matter development.
The above benefits, without an added increase in cortisol levels, create a very useful
supplement for those trying to fight the aging process.
