Ibutamoren

What is Ibutamoren?

Ibutamoren (MK-677) is a potent growth hormone secretagogue that stimulates the release of growth hormone and IGF-1 through activation of the ghrelin receptor. Unlike traditional growth hormone therapy, it works by mimicking the natural hormone ghrelin, which stimulates the pituitary gland to release growth hormone. This oral peptide has shown significant potential in increasing muscle mass, improving bone density, and enhancing recovery from exercise. It also appears to improve sleep quality and may have anti-aging properties. The compound is particularly notable for its ability to maintain elevated growth hormone levels for extended periods, making it a valuable tool for both athletic performance and general wellness.
