Derek, your channel has been a blessing. I am in med school and currently practice at an integrative medical clinic. I have specific interest in alternative medicine, male hormones/health, and cardiology. Your channel has brought me so much value and joy when it comes to those different topics. Thank you for the info you bless us with and I hope to continue watching your content in future years.
@@AE_CC_-Tutorials its basically a tool to "press the button" in your body to release more GH, than you would ever release naturally, without the MK-677. Has nothing to do with SARMs. Its just another research chemical and falls into the peptides category, not SARMs. Vendors are often complete idiots and sell also Cardarine as a SARM, while thats something TOTALLY different. But i dont get it why even ONE person would think MK and GW are SARMs - how stupid has someone to be, to think about taking a research chemical without reading ANY information about it. IF they would research these compounds, they would know what this stuff actually really does within 20 seconds. So its just insane how much uninformed people take or want to take any PED's.
DELTA9XTC Good points I’m looking into mk677 for my personal experiment I found a companies in China 🇨🇳 going to get the liquid version. My only worry is the if it just sporfs up ones natural GH then there must be a price to pay in the long run. Will it shorten ones life span. Will it cause problems with brain function. Can it cause dimensia. If not I’m gonna risk it, I’m celiac and tired of being skinny, I just wanna her a few healthy pounds general we’ll bring with swimming and light weight training. Also I worry about hair loss which I’m thinning on top, but then again I wonder if may stop my hair loss, obviously it’s in ones genes 🧬
I feel like the risk to reward factor in using mk 677 is good. A lot of the side effects you can mitigate through diet and exercise. Maybe stack it with dandelion root for water retention and a cinnamon for extra help with the blood glucose. Great video, and delts lol.
@@Theoapxl I was on it for three months. I kept a strict diet except for one day a week I cheated. I did use the dandelion root for the water retention and cinnamon to help with the blood glucose. After three months on it my blood glucose went from 80mg/dL to 85mg/dL. My blood pressure went from 120/70 to 130/70. Even though I implemented the dandelion root the water retention was still very notice able. But I was also eating 4000 calories a day so keep that in mind. My IGF-1 went from 239 ng/ml to 429 ng/ml. HGH went from 7.8 ng/ml to 14.1 ng/ml. Pumps were amazing on my 677. Sleep quality was better as well. I did not notice a healing effect from it. I had a few nagging injuries and it did nothing for them. I also did notice I was ALOT more anxious on this compound. It is know to raise cortisol lvls and let me tell you this is true lol. It did not increase my hunger one bit as most people to report an increase of appetite. Overall I think it’s not worth it. I believe the advantages you get from it are minimal and it’s not worth fucking with you insulin sensitivity. I was taking 25mg a night btw. Forgot to add that lol.
I think people are "sleeping" on the fact that the enhanced sleep you can get from this is naturally going to help you repair and recover better, which means quicker and better gains
You and Dr. Doucette are the most informative unbiased channels on here, period. I can’t imagine not having you all as a source to stimulate my own thought process about these compounds as well as analyzing the raw empirical evidence.
I've been using MK almost a full year. By far the most effective over-the-counter supplement I've ever taken. I have been in the gym for 38 years now in this blows the doors off of everything else.
I’ve used both mk677 and gear in low doses for years and honestly I rate mk677 much better. Feels safer, less side effects. As for the muscle part “if it looks like muscle, feels like muscle and increases strength it is muscle” in my eyes. For the people who don’t think so, that’s all good but I can guarantee you keep more of it then gear. If you continue to train because it doesn’t shut you down.
I don’t take anything that’s not considered natty. I wanted to, seriously considered it since I’m hitting 40 next year, but honestly watching your videos made me realize that you really need to know your shit to take this safely. I honestly wouldn’t know that sarms had side effects and probably would have taken them thinking it wasn’t a steroid so it was safe. Honestly the information you provide is incredibly important! Don’t ever stop!
I only got water retention for the 1st 3 weeks. After that it kept me lean even with excess calories but I do stay away from simple carbs/sugars anyway. The worst side effect I still have is lethargy but only sometimes! I use it on a blast at 25mg and also on a cruise at 25mg. It allowed me also to reduce my test amount considerably when used alongside a low dose HMG. Doing it this way my bloods were so much better. I have used it with large amounts of carbs and that's when I got the bloat so the water retention can be controlled with the correct diet. The hunger also settled after about 5 weeks. The 5 weeks prior I just couldn't eat enough. MK677 once settled is amazing for cutting, the rate at which I could cut was increased massively. A friend just can't use it as his hunger is uncontrollable on it. I've pretty much stayed on it for a year with no problems and have had a 4 week break at least 3 times in that year. My blood glucose when tested was always normal. Just my experience but everyone is different 😊
have been taking mk677 for a month now dosage 20mg/day results are: 1)Hunger managable not ravenous 2) Stamina increased 3) Sex drive increased 4)fuller muscles 5)Stength increase 6)Increase in REM sleep duration max rem duration recorded 2 hours
Compressed disc could hardly walk for 2 weeks and felt pretty good healed up naturally after that. Just lots of hot epsom salt baths and dead hangs and some pull ups gave me GREAT relief. I picked up some MK-677 from swiss chems around day 16 cause I’m aware GH increases collagen rebuilding and thought it might help me heal to avoid further injury on the now fragile disc. Started at 15mg and noticed immediate spike in body water. Appetite wasn’t exactly increased but sugar cravings went up a bit. No noticeable increase in cortisol but the dreams were insanely vivid and sometimes made me uncomfortable. Maybe slightly lethargic but hard to tell. No noticeable increase in strength on bench press which I was really looking forward to. Bumped the dose up to 20mg hoping for increase in strength gains but only got crazy sugar cravings and lost the will to get out of bed in the morning one day after pigging out all night. Decided to take a few days off and hop back in at 10mg. Definitely noticed the weight gain was totally transient when I took breaks. Stayed on it for a few weeks not much effect and eventually decided to see how i feel off of it. I feel like i’m eating more healthy food without it. Not much difference in sleep energy levels stress etc. Just a drop in body water which is undoubtedly partially because of increase in sugar consumption. I wonder if I got fake stuff cause honestly this stuff kinda sucks! Not anywhere near as potent of a PED as creatine which is cheaper per month than even 10mg MK. I think I might be a creatine hyper responder cause it has noticeable positive effects on my strength, recovery, mood, etc.
Typo about the drop in body water^ Meant to say the SPIKE in body water was partially caused by increase in sugar consumption. Then immediate drop in body water occurred when MK was ceased.
Started taking this stuff about a year ago. I'm 35 and have been training my whole life (college T&F) and I managed to increase my strength significantly while on it. I didn't really notice a visible difference in the muscle but I was stronger for sure. At 210lbs I went from 8 pullups to 16 pullups in 2 months. Nothing crazy, but its not nothing.
I’m 17 and I was thinking about taking this.I’m only texting you because I noticed you commented recently.Do you think if I eat clean and track my blood sugar levels i will be safe to take it?
@@nikob8997 it wouldn't do you any good. You're still going through puberty so your growth levels are crazy. You should just focus on training and diet.
Hey pull-ups are no joke. I used to could rep out 20ish when younger and lighter but now I’m scared my shoulder will snap. But just started an 677-lgd cycle so gonna get that back for sure lol
I’ve been on it at 20mg for almost a month and I like my oily skin and increased appetite. It won’t win in a fight against coffee but I think sleeping is good, trazadone wins as far as needing to fall asleep fast. My hair feels better, I walk with confidence, less slouching, eat more, but no ambition.
Derrick makes the owner of my local protein shop sound like a kindergartner trying to explain multiplication to a teacher... just doesn’t understand anything about it 😂 so glad we have this channel for real advice and knowledge!
Mk677 is the truth as a naturally skinny guy with very low appetite - this jacks my appetite way up and ensures I hit my calorie goals without feeling like I'm force feeding. Also sleep like a champ. Fantastic for bulking imo. Just dont eat too much sugar yall. But that's pretty much eternal advice...
Too much sugar will raise the blood sugar right and probably lead to something bad right, hoe much did you take and for how long, did you gain lots of muscle and did you keep that muscle after you stopped your cycle, did you notice any side effects? Anything wrong, any gyno?
@@fec4177 Honestly those are great questions. Im just about finding out about this. I need to expand my mind with things like this because so far I hear good things about it just wanting to do more research about it.. Now my question to you is if you ended up taking it since it's been 3 years lol, let me know about it.
Great information. Have always loved how informational you have been over the years and glad to see you're back on a more consistent basis. I'm always looking forward to your next videos
It’s not just the appetite increase that would help you gain, it’s the fact that it literally makes the body increase growth hormone. Therefore making you bigger and stronger in gym. You can also cut and bulk on this. If you take it in the morning it will make you very hungry throughout the day (great for bulking). If you take it at evening or night you will not be hungry because you are sleeping. (Great for cutting) it also helps you sleep a lot better.
I tried mk677 standalone and it rid me of the back pain from a minor slipped disc I had. And that's all I needed from it. I had a sleep disorder for years, and no amount of psychiatric meds were helping it apart from Ambien (which I don't let myself take more than 3 times a week) and the mk has really helped me sleep and recover much better. Never took it for the gains, and I don't regret my decision at all, I didn't wanna live with back pain.
I'm in the same boat. Chronic sleep and back issues gone in literally days. I'm just wondering if those issues will come back during a cycle off ? And can it be cycled indefinitely?
@@jacklasota people do cycle it for a year or a few years but i would not recommend that. My AST was slightly elevated (68) when I got my bloodwork done. I don't think the back pain should come back off cycle, I just got off of it because it's already fixed my pain. Although it is one of the 'safer' compounds that you can cruise for 6-12 months at a time. I would still reccomend taking a month or two off in between just to give your organs a little break, or get bloodwork done every 2-3 months to make sure it's not stressing out your liver. I don't know if the sleep problems will come back, but I'd expect them to. I'd reccomend seeing a GP for that if you're going off the mk677, they'll prescribe a sleep aid that's a little less taxing on you.
@@jacklasota You will lose sensitivity and it will lose its effect. Thats the main reason we cycle anyway. What you can do indefinetely is a 2 day on 1 day off kind of thing. This should mitigate tolerance build. Keep that 2:1 ratio for best mitigation of tolerance
I had a severe pinched nerve (c7) and it messed up a lot of my muscles surrounding that nerve. I just started mk677 yesterday and I’m hoping it will fix my damaged muscles and tendons. 👍
@@DailySaved I really hope it helps you out too! Also, I made an observation, if your pain does go away and it has 'fixed' your issue, I'd still use that part of your body a little carefully. I tried back squats with good form and it still tingled a little bit, but I can do all other exercises normally.
As always, great and insightful information! Been a long time subscriber, way before UA-cam “cracked down” and a lot of your original content got deleted. Keep it up!
I've actually suffered with Ulcerative Colitis in my mid 20's, and had my large intestine removed in order to prevent death from sepsis. Then a couple years after suffering with intense back pain and inflammation, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I've been on Humira for 4 years now and it has greatly increased my quality of life. All that being said, I've been researching the use of HGH and IGF-1 on Autoimmune Diseases and have seen enough research to want to try it out for myself and see if I can improve the degradation from AS. Thus I'm awaiting on MK-677 to see if it can give me similar results as if I was to use HGH, plus the cost is way more affordable.
Sorry to hear about your AS man, hope you can find some benefit from MK-677. I can sympathize with your auto immune issues (I suffer from a lot of inflammation related issues, although not AS), it can be a real pain.
I took 25mg of Mk-677 (RX) before bed for 1 year, and I put on a bunch weight, some muscle, but also lots of water. It certainly makes you look a little more bulky but not the look I was going for, including puffy face. It made me look more fat than anything else. My IGF-1 levels went from 142 ng/mL to 204 ng/mL, a 44% increase. The main benefit was quick joint recovery after intense workouts. I didn't notice any other effects. All in all, I don't think it's worth $250/month (for the real Doc prescribed stuff), unless you're very skinny and just need to put on size.
@@carrot8687 perhaps Derek has bigger ambitions than youtube views? He has a huge passion for endocrinology, training and performance and he's smart. A PhD or a masters might not get him much acknowledgement within the "fitness industry", but it definetly opens opportunities for him to transition his career from a youtuber to an expert or even a pioneer within the field.
Perfect timing, what a good video. Was just thinking about stopping my MK intake till I'm done with my dbol kick off to my cycle since it raises blood pressure.
I can very confidently say after 6 months my hair has grown back and i noticed a little extra hair too. My beard was already thick and full and people have noticed my hair gains. A lot of my pains went away, and I'm heavier too.
@@TheLilmatt92 Started out at 15 mg first month or so, went up to 25 mg for about 5 months. Month 1 I had bought a bottle of Matrix Labs pills, 2 pills for 15 mg. After that bottle i ordered from Chemyo (liquid form plus i could choose my dosage) and never looked back. Went off of it for about 3 weeks noticed my weight went down, started back again at 25 and been on a whole week, and yes weight went back up. I plan on using for a good 2 years, Ryan Ankrom said it would take about 6 months to 2 years to really reap the benefits.
@@trumpt8503 I stopped taking it over a year ago. I took it for i think 1 year and yeah, hair grew back, i gained a couple pounds maybe water, strength didn't really increase but most bodily pains went away. Skin was a little smoother also.
You cant get any more in depth of a video than this 👌 My rat results with Mk677 was the following: Awesome sleep even with 6 hours , it woke up refreshed 1 hour after taking the dose it felt tired asfk Somewhat increased hunger After a few weeks the other rats had noticed increased muscle size and weight gain also the sudden increase in strength
I've been using MK677 for a little while, I take it at night, I have had issues with sleep for as long as i can remember due to a spinal injury and pain. I have been sleeping far better, my deep sleep has increased hugely. I also don't get the hunger from it either (thankfully) as i am currently over weight, and on a cut. I have been on gear in the past and was really doing well with gaining a good amount of muscle mass back then, but due to the spinal injury (it was the 2nd time i fractured my spine) I had to stop training, lost all my muscle mass and gained a shit ton of weight too. I have been able to recently start training again too, thankfully.
Just documenting my experience. Started at 220lbs. 2months later I was 238lbs. 12.5mg dosing before last meal of day. Pros: Hungry Strength gains via water retention and food intake Masked shoulder pain Healed elbow tendinitis Hair, skin, and nails improved Best sleep of my life. Got into deep sleep faster and stayed there longer. Cured stomach-related hangover symptoms, including nausea Cons: - Bloody noses (high blood pressure presumed) - Got fat from eating uncontrollably - ALWAYS tired!!!!! Mentally and somewhat physically. - Blood sugar is messed up now but likely exacerbated by the fact I eat white rice and large quantities of food in general - Often woke to pee in the night - I think I slept so good that I was having apnea which caused me to wake up. Not sure why I had to pee so much though. Ultimately still great sleep with lucid dreams tho. - Peck pain -> not sure if it was the muscle pain Dereck mentioned or if the MK was stimulating my pubertal gyno
For anecdotal experience...I gained 30lbs taking this, mostly muscle but a good amount of fat too. It changed my body like nothing ever has. I was lifting 4-5 days a week and also taking creatine. My appetite was unreal on this stuff lol I went from 160lb to 190lb in a spawn of 4 months. What’s crazy is the mass never went away after taking. My stature completely changed. I think my bones even got bigger lol this stuff is next level. I don’t think I’ll ever do another cycle but the cycle I did was life changing. The strength and size gains were impressive and everyone I know noticed
Hello Derick I've been on mk677 only for 6 months now and was first on 20 mg, got too bloated, then 15 mg and I've got a lot more energy and a lot of stamina and got stronger as well as better skin, I'm gonna go to 10 mg now, got no sides and I feel absolutely great
@@motivationforall6082 LOL no I'm the same size but I'm off it now for 4 months and will stay off another 2 all clean just whey protein, I'm still stronger than I was and look really good, but it's a good thing to check, I'll measure it properly before I go on again
@@beetlejuicejr6133 not that I noticed man, I'm off for 4 going to 6 months now and I'm still stronger than I was and still look really good, but I'll monitor that for next time, good idea
@@thomasVA9707 when you came off the mk677 did you keep the new skin look you got while you were on it? And how much did it help you with recovery and if you had any injuries did it help heal injuries faster?
@@rg7917 the only thing I kept was a little bit of size, but that is still a lot in my view, about 1,5 kg, I'm build good and lean so that makes a good difference and this is size I really struggled to get otherwise, I would rather say skin wise etc it gave me a pause not really reversed anything but your skin and hair looks good on it then you go back to normal, I'm not on it anymore, haven't been since, I'm on nothing now for a long while and doing fine, I like it cause it only pushes you forward and you don't dip afterwards so I like it a lot, I think your first 6 months would make your biggest difference so you have to push hard then ,like anything your body will balance everything out again I believe, so I'm gonna hit it again after a 2 year break for 6 months , I wanted 6 m on 6 off but I decided otherwise, the body responds better after a long rest
Just started MK 677 for the second time. Immediate increase in hunger and incredibly deep sleep with some very vivid dreams. I prefer to take this at night before bed to stave off the hunger issues. 25mg daily.
@@lindenjones6598 at that time I was bulking so right around 7500 calories a day. Had to stop the MK as it started giving me awful insomnia. Went away a few days after stopping.
After watching the first few minutes I’m convinced. Starting my cycle on Saturday. I might come back and finish the video once I got amazing gains just to pat myself on the back some more.
@ I started on 15mg/day and stuck with that dose. I’m doing 5-6 days/week. I don’t think you need to take a day off each week, it just happened that way. No side effects at all. No increase in hunger. I’m on a cut and losing fat while gaining muscle, even though I had already been working out for at least 2 years prior to starting MK677. I will go for another 2 weeks. I’ve personally noticed the following benefits: Better skin complexion, faster healing (even the dentist mentioned how fast I heal), an increase in muscle mass, a decrease in fat (in a caloric deficit), and I’ve been hitting a strength PR every time I go into the gym. I also sleep less on average, but I’m not tired during the day. I also started taking RAD150 2 weeks after the MK677, but I saw these benefits from the MK before I started the SARM. The SARM has made things interesting. My testosterone dropped from 714 to 395. No side effects, except I feel cold all the time- like more cold than the women in the office. I’ve been on MK like 5 or 6 weeks, and the SARMs like 3 or 4 weeks. I’ll do both for another 2 weeks. I would say MK packs on more muscle than creatine, but not as much as SARMs or steroids. I will likely not do it again because there are more effective oral PEDs like anavar and SARMs that can be found on black market sites sourced through a search on T Nation.
honestly bro. all the other channels don't talk about studies and research.... just how they feel. You might feel great but it's always good to know what's happening on the inside.
i really appreciate your work Mr. Plates. My only request - if you could please dumb down some of the more scientific terms or give examples to, for example, how cardiovascular problems may portray themselves in the human body (and similar terms that may be confusing for non-english speakers). I would greatly appreciate that.
GREAT Video Derek! I really enjoy the content that you put out and look forward to watching every time you post one. Thank You for taking the time to make in depth informative videos. They are very well thought out. You are a GREAT speaker. I stacked MK677 alternated with Testosterone Enthate and Testosterone Cypionate. It worked very well.
@@Jnikola97 In-depth Analysis Needed. 1. If Genetically had Cancers , it'll accelerate it's growths. (Is a risk You had to take) 2. Diabetes, my parents had it. ( Fortunately, before I begin I did test blood sugar lv, empty stomach-4.1mmol 6months later 4.7mmol )
Never did I realized, in my 30 I already had hormones imbalances, start at Feb on my 30,I nolonger able to sleep in peace till 35 where I meet MK, I had all sort of mental state issues, Worries, appetite issues , fatigue when reach night .
LUM-201 (mk677) is planned on going into Phase II-b trials towards the end of 2020. Its been delayed due to the coronavirus. The purpose of the trial is to determine the most effective dose with least side effects for patients.
@minecraft creeper This isn’t accurate to Sarms. Maybe I’m wrong. Send the links for your research. If that’s as the case all meds would have to up dosages.
minecraft creeper agh gotcha. Makes sense. So how is this for sarms? I heard sarms doesn’t have diminishing returns ? As in as someone cycles they don’t need to up the dosage each time
All I see is everyone talking about sleep, some joint recovery, water retention, lethargy, and an increase of appetite. But what about what it’s intended for? Has anyone seen real improvements in muscle tone and strength performance??
I'm taking MK 677 with the hope that it will help my acne, sleep problems, and give me a fat burning boost. If I wind up too hungry to stick to my diet I'll definitely drop it but I am fairly good with keeping my calories low. New muscle fibers and a potentially thicker/longer beard would be a huge bonus but honestly it's the sleep and it's healing factor that sold me on it
@@CaliforniaWaffle I am. Sleep is great, hunger is brutal but I feel like my metabolism has sped up a ton, acne isn't any better. I've also started using Clen and GW, 1 week of Clen my blood pressure is through the roof, was shaky one day but not for long, and got a few minor headaches but otherwise fine on that front. GW first pill today and my endurance during Cardio was literally doubled. I'm going to drop the Clen after tomorrow as I'm only on it now to test how I handle it, MK and GW will continue for now
I have started my stand alone cycle of this 3 days ago. I will give my results once I am done with it in 8 weeks. Dosage right now is a 10mg per day but might increase it to 20mg next or in two weeks. Edit: sorry for the LATE response. During this time i've also done Ostarine and now LGD but here is my results and opinion on MK677. RESPONSE: I took mk677 for over 6 months instead of 8 weeks. 8 weeks is not enough to reap the full benefits of GH and especially from MK677 that isn't even anabolic. Keep in mind real GH is expensive so most of us will resort to MK677. Stand alone mk677 isn't worth it to become unnatural. It's better to start off with test or sarms. You can argue you can make gains because GH does help you recover faster. Faster recovery means it allows you to hit the same muscle atleast twice per week. The problem here is that you should be already hitting each muscle twice per week if your program/diet is good. One other problem here is that you're trading your natty card and some health problems that can rise up for SMALL NEGLIGIBLE gains. Aside from that, you can get away with a low dosage with even 10mg EOD and reap the benefits. I've done this plenty of times throughout the months. Benefits i've noticed are: quick regrowth of hair, quick nail regrowth, faster muscle recovery, deep sleep, younger looking skin, joints healed, and somewhat fuller muscle look. I did not notice a hunger that some people get. Weight in the gym barely went up but during this time I was not bulking so it was forseeable. I've dailed the dosage up to 25mg at one point but noticed i've started to get high blood pressure and huge water rentention. I quickly dropped the dosage own to around 10mg, cleaned up my diet more, and quickly felt better. I dropped the water weight and blood pressure went back down. TLDR; Not worth to use as a stand alone to make gains unless you stay on mk677 for a lot of months; even then its sort of not worth it. Not worth because you have to watch your diet because high water retention can fuck up your blood pressure and more. Would only use if you have an injury, used with a SERM for PCT to keep gains from a real cycle, or a personal reason. (opinion)
Have been on it from the last 3 Months, started at 170LBS now consistently over 180LBs, my hunger increased in the first 4-6 weeks and my sleep since I've been taking in it has been great, feel awesome training at the gym and recovery its amazing
And then also very important, I've been a trainer since 2014 and been training for a long time before that so I'd suggest try to get as much as you can while you're 19 and test your limit before trying anything else
worked for me. started at 10 mg, bumped it up to 20. still snack too much at night to lose all the belly fat. but as a middle aged man, I m working on that.
I know a guy been on ostarine and rad 140 on over a 9 month cycle. Didnt loose anything neither did his Test drop any significantly. People over thinking this sarms thing. Alcohol is more dangerous.
I wear a continuous glucose monitor. MK-677 elevated my glucose (and I presume insulin) for several days--not just a spike. I would guess that is why it increases muscle, but does not seem to reduce fat, despite increasing IGF. Also made me lethargic as well.

Good points I’m looking into mk677 for my personal experiment
I found a companies in China 🇨🇳 going to get the liquid version.
My only worry is the if it just sporfs up ones natural GH then there must be a price to pay in the long run. Will it shorten ones life span. Will it cause problems with brain function. Can it cause dimensia.

I agree!
Seems like a good idea. Have you tried that and what did you observe ? I imagine doing it by puting a 15mg dose of mk677 into a dandelion cinnamon tea
@@Theoapxl I was on it for three months. I kept a strict diet except for one day a week I cheated. I did use the dandelion root for the water retention and cinnamon to help with the blood glucose. After three months on it my blood glucose went from 80mg/dL to 85mg/dL. My blood pressure went from 120/70 to 130/70. Even though I implemented the dandelion root the water retention was still very notice able. But I was also eating 4000 calories a day so keep that in mind. My IGF-1 went from 239 ng/ml to 429 ng/ml. HGH went from 7.8 ng/ml to 14.1 ng/ml. Pumps were amazing on my 677. Sleep quality was better as well. I did not notice a healing effect from it. I had a few nagging injuries and it did nothing for them. I also did notice I was ALOT more anxious on this compound. It is know to raise cortisol lvls and let me tell you this is true lol. It did not increase my hunger one bit as most people to report an increase of appetite. Overall I think it’s not worth it. I believe the advantages you get from it are minimal and it’s not worth fucking with you insulin sensitivity. I was taking 25mg a night btw. Forgot to add that lol.

I've been using MK almost a full year. By far the most effective over-the-counter supplement I've ever taken. I have been in the gym for 38 years now in this blows the doors off of everything else.
It's not a supplement. It's a PED.
If I may ask, where did you buy it and ensure it was safe and real.
it is an illegal research chemical not an over the counter supplement.
I’ve used both mk677 and gear in low doses for years and honestly I rate mk677 much better. Feels safer, less side effects. As for the muscle part “if it looks like muscle, feels like muscle and increases strength it is muscle” in my eyes.
For the people who don’t think so, that’s all good but I can guarantee you keep more of it then gear. If you continue to train because it doesn’t shut you down.

I only got water retention for the 1st 3 weeks. After that it kept me lean even with excess calories but I do stay away from simple carbs/sugars anyway. The worst side effect I still have is lethargy but only sometimes! I use it on a blast at 25mg and also on a cruise at 25mg. It allowed me also to reduce my test amount considerably when used alongside a low dose HMG. Doing it this way my bloods were so much better. I have used it with large amounts of carbs and that's when I got the bloat so the water retention can be controlled with the correct diet. The hunger also settled after about 5 weeks. The 5 weeks prior I just couldn't eat enough. MK677 once settled is amazing for cutting, the rate at which I could cut was increased massively. A friend just can't use it as his hunger is uncontrollable on it. I've pretty much stayed on it for a year with no problems and have had a 4 week break at least 3 times in that year. My blood glucose when tested was always normal. Just my experience but everyone is different 😊

Seriously underrated channel your research is bulletproof and very knowledgable thanks dude.
Compressed disc could hardly walk for 2 weeks and felt pretty good healed up naturally after that. Just lots of hot epsom salt baths and dead hangs and some pull ups gave me GREAT relief. I picked up some MK-677 from swiss chems around day 16 cause I’m aware GH increases collagen rebuilding and thought it might help me heal to avoid further injury on the now fragile disc.
Started at 15mg and noticed immediate spike in body water. Appetite wasn’t exactly increased but sugar cravings went up a bit. No noticeable increase in cortisol but the dreams were insanely vivid and sometimes made me uncomfortable. Maybe slightly lethargic but hard to tell. No noticeable increase in strength on bench press which I was really looking forward to.
Bumped the dose up to 20mg hoping for increase in strength gains but only got crazy sugar cravings and lost the will to get out of bed in the morning one day after pigging out all night. Decided to take a few days off and hop back in at 10mg. Definitely noticed the weight gain was totally transient when I took breaks. Stayed on it for a few weeks not much effect and eventually decided to see how i feel off of it. I feel like i’m eating more healthy food without it. Not much difference in sleep energy levels stress etc. Just a drop in body water which is undoubtedly partially because of increase in sugar consumption.
I wonder if I got fake stuff cause honestly this stuff kinda sucks! Not anywhere near as potent of a PED as creatine which is cheaper per month than even 10mg MK. I think I might be a creatine hyper responder cause it has noticeable positive effects on my strength, recovery, mood, etc.
Typo about the drop in body water^ Meant to say the SPIKE in body water was partially caused by increase in sugar consumption. Then immediate drop in body water occurred when MK was ceased.
Started taking this stuff about a year ago. I'm 35 and have been training my whole life (college T&F) and I managed to increase my strength significantly while on it. I didn't really notice a visible difference in the muscle but I was stronger for sure. At 210lbs I went from 8 pullups to 16 pullups in 2 months. Nothing crazy, but its not nothing.
I’m 17 and I was thinking about taking this.I’m only texting you because I noticed you commented recently.Do you think if I eat clean and track my blood sugar levels i will be safe to take it?
@@nikob8997 it wouldn't do you any good. You're still going through puberty so your growth levels are crazy. You should just focus on training and diet.

I’ve been on it at 20mg for almost a month and I like my oily skin and increased appetite. It won’t win in a fight against coffee but I think sleeping is good, trazadone wins as far as needing to fall asleep fast. My hair feels better, I walk with confidence, less slouching, eat more, but no ambition.

Mk677 is the truth as a naturally skinny guy with very low appetite - this jacks my appetite way up and ensures I hit my calorie goals without feeling like I'm force feeding. Also sleep like a champ.
Fantastic for bulking imo. Just dont eat too much sugar yall. But that's pretty much eternal advice...
Too much sugar will raise the blood sugar right and probably lead to something bad right, hoe much did you take and for how long, did you gain lots of muscle and did you keep that muscle after you stopped your cycle, did you notice any side effects? Anything wrong, any gyno?
@@fec4177 Honestly those are great questions. Im just about finding out about this. I need to expand my mind with things like this because so far I hear good things about it just wanting to do more research about it.. Now my question to you is if you ended up taking it since it's been 3 years lol, let me know about it.
Great information. Have always loved how informational you have been over the years and glad to see you're back on a more consistent basis. I'm always looking forward to your next videos
As someone who struggles with appetite thereby struggling putting on mass, in an inadvertent way this would enhance my capacity to gain muscle.
It’s not just the appetite increase that would help you gain, it’s the fact that it literally makes the body increase growth hormone. Therefore making you bigger and stronger in gym. You can also cut and bulk on this. If you take it in the morning it will make you very hungry throughout the day (great for bulking). If you take it at evening or night you will not be hungry because you are sleeping. (Great for cutting) it also helps you sleep a lot better.
I also struggle to eat enough calories to gain. Been on 677 for about a week now and my appetite is getting stronger.
Literally learning so much off one channel this is insane
I tried mk677 standalone and it rid me of the back pain from a minor slipped disc I had. And that's all I needed from it. I had a sleep disorder for years, and no amount of psychiatric meds were helping it apart from Ambien (which I don't let myself take more than 3 times a week) and the mk has really helped me sleep and recover much better. Never took it for the gains, and I don't regret my decision at all, I didn't wanna live with back pain.
I'm in the same boat. Chronic sleep and back issues gone in literally days. I'm just wondering if those issues will come back during a cycle off ? And can it be cycled indefinitely?
@@jacklasota people do cycle it for a year or a few years but i would not recommend that. My AST was slightly elevated (68) when I got my bloodwork done. I don't think the back pain should come back off cycle, I just got off of it because it's already fixed my pain. Although it is one of the 'safer' compounds that you can cruise for 6-12 months at a time. I would still reccomend taking a month or two off in between just to give your organs a little break, or get bloodwork done every 2-3 months to make sure it's not stressing out your liver. I don't know if the sleep problems will come back, but I'd expect them to. I'd reccomend seeing a GP for that if you're going off the mk677, they'll prescribe a sleep aid that's a little less taxing on you.
@@jacklasota You will lose sensitivity and it will lose its effect. Thats the main reason we cycle anyway. What you can do indefinetely is a 2 day on 1 day off kind of thing. This should mitigate tolerance build. Keep that 2:1 ratio for best mitigation of tolerance
I had a severe pinched nerve (c7) and it messed up a lot of my muscles surrounding that nerve. I just started mk677 yesterday and I’m hoping it will fix my damaged muscles and tendons. 👍
@@DailySaved I really hope it helps you out too! Also, I made an observation, if your pain does go away and it has 'fixed' your issue, I'd still use that part of your body a little carefully.

It’s been 3 years let’s do an update!
I've actually suffered with Ulcerative Colitis in my mid 20's, and had my large intestine removed in order to prevent death from sepsis. Then a couple years after suffering with intense back pain and inflammation, I was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I've been on Humira for 4 years now and it has greatly increased my quality of life. All that being said, I've been researching the use of HGH and IGF-1 on Autoimmune Diseases and have seen enough research to want to try it out for myself and see if I can improve the degradation from AS. Thus I'm awaiting on MK-677 to see if it can give me similar results as if I was to use HGH, plus the cost is way more affordable.
I too have AS and thinking mk 677 could help
Sorry to hear about your AS man, hope you can find some benefit from MK-677. I can sympathize with your auto immune issues (I suffer from a lot of inflammation related issues, although not AS), it can be a real pain.
Bro I almost died from sepsis too hope you're doing well and hope the MK-677 helped
Good luck buddy. I suffer from a chronic medical condition as well as have used and had great results with ostarine.
@@jdtown6585 should I take it at 19
I took 25mg of Mk-677 (RX) before bed for 1 year, and I put on a bunch weight, some muscle, but also lots of water. It certainly makes you look a little more bulky but not the look I was going for, including puffy face. It made me look more fat than anything else. My IGF-1 levels went from 142 ng/mL to 204 ng/mL, a 44% increase. The main benefit was quick joint recovery after intense workouts. I didn't notice any other effects. All in all, I don't think it's worth $250/month (for the real Doc prescribed stuff), unless you're very skinny and just need to put on size.
142 mg/ml naturally?

Went off of it for about 3 weeks noticed my weight went down, started back again at 25 and been on a whole week, and yes weight went back up.

I've been using MK677 for a little while, I take it at night, I have had issues with sleep for as long as i can remember due to a spinal injury and pain. I have been sleeping far better, my deep sleep has increased hugely. I also don't get the hunger from it either (thankfully) as i am currently over weight, and on a cut. I have been on gear in the past and was really doing well with gaining a good amount of muscle mass back then, but due to the spinal injury (it was the 2nd time i fractured my spine) I had to stop training, lost all my muscle mass and gained a shit ton of weight too. I have been able to recently start training again too, thankfully.
Did it help your back injury? I am starting on it to try to help a disc issue.

Love The Way You Cover Topics.........
thank you Kanye, very cool!
Just documenting my experience. Started at 220lbs. 2months later I was 238lbs. 12.5mg dosing before last meal of day.
Pros:
Hungry
Strength gains via water retention and food intake
Masked shoulder pain
Healed elbow tendinitis
Hair, skin, and nails improved
Best sleep of my life. Got into deep sleep faster and stayed there longer.
Cured stomach-related hangover symptoms, including nausea
Cons:
- Bloody noses (high blood pressure presumed)
- Got fat from eating uncontrollably
- ALWAYS tired!!!!! Mentally and somewhat physically.
- Blood sugar is messed up now but likely exacerbated by the fact I eat white rice and large quantities of food in general
- Often woke to pee in the night - I think I slept so good that I was having apnea which caused me to wake up. Not sure why I had to pee so much though. Ultimately still great sleep with lucid dreams tho.
- Peck pain -> not sure if it was the muscle pain Dereck mentioned or if the MK was stimulating my pubertal gyno

Just started MK 677 for the second time. Immediate increase in hunger and incredibly deep sleep with some very vivid dreams. I prefer to take this at night before bed to stave off the hunger issues. 25mg daily.

@@KENNETHTXMMA yea, went to 10mg daily. Same issues.
After watching the first few minutes I’m convinced. Starting my cycle on Saturday. I might come back and finish the video once I got amazing gains just to pat myself on the back some more.
Update?
@ I started on 15mg/day and stuck with that dose. I’m doing 5-6 days/week. I don’t think you need to take a day off each week, it just happened that way.
No side effects at all. No increase in hunger. I’m on a cut and losing fat while gaining muscle, even though I had already been working out for at least 2 years prior to starting MK677.
I will go for another 2 weeks.
I’ve personally noticed the following benefits: Better skin complexion, faster healing (even the dentist mentioned how fast I heal), an increase in muscle mass, a decrease in fat (in a caloric deficit), and I’ve been hitting a strength PR every time I go into the gym. I also sleep less on average, but I’m not tired during the day.
I also started taking RAD150 2 weeks after the MK677, but I saw these benefits from the MK before I started the SARM. The SARM has made things interesting. My testosterone dropped from 714 to 395. No side effects, except I feel cold all the time- like more cold than the women in the office.
I’ve been on MK like 5 or 6 weeks, and the SARMs like 3 or 4 weeks. I’ll do both for another 2 weeks.
I would say MK packs on more muscle than creatine, but not as much as SARMs or steroids. I will likely not do it again because there are more effective oral PEDs like anavar and SARMs that can be found on black market sites sourced through a search on T Nation.
Go on lad 💪

LUM-201 (mk677) is planned on going into Phase II-b trials towards the end of 2020. Its been delayed due to the coronavirus. The purpose of the trial is to determine the most effective dose with least side effects for patients.
Jay Abrams if I'm right studies show that a dosage higher than 25mg doesn't release any more growth hormone.

@minecraft creeper what you on about you cycle on and off like a normal person
@minecraft creeper This isn’t accurate to Sarms. Maybe I’m wrong. Send the links for your research. If that’s as the case all meds would have to up dosages.
minecraft creeper agh gotcha. Makes sense. So how is this for sarms? I heard sarms doesn’t have diminishing returns ? As in as someone cycles they don’t need to up the dosage each time
Very well explained bro 👍💪
All I see is everyone talking about sleep, some joint recovery, water retention, lethargy, and an increase of appetite. But what about what it’s intended for? Has anyone seen real improvements in muscle tone and strength performance??
Great channel Man!
I would like to see you delve into the effects of psychedelics on the body's systems

Awesome and very informative video
I'm taking MK 677 with the hope that it will help my acne, sleep problems, and give me a fat burning boost. If I wind up too hungry to stick to my diet I'll definitely drop it but I am fairly good with keeping my calories low. New muscle fibers and a potentially thicker/longer beard would be a huge bonus but honestly it's the sleep and it's healing factor that sold me on it
Updates when you got em bro good luck
hows your acne now
@@maribelle79 hasn't improved yet, my sleep is much better though
You still on it?
@@CaliforniaWaffle I am. Sleep is great, hunger is brutal but I feel like my metabolism has sped up a ton, acne isn't any better. I've also started using Clen and GW, 1 week of Clen my blood pressure is through the roof, was shaky one day but not for long, and got a few minor headaches but otherwise fine on that front. GW first pill today and my endurance during Cardio was literally doubled.
I'm going to drop the Clen after tomorrow as I'm only on it now to test how I handle it, MK and GW will continue for now
Thanks for the deets brotha!!! You ROCK
I have started my stand alone cycle of this 3 days ago. I will give my results once I am done with it in 8 weeks. Dosage right now is a 10mg per day but might increase it to 20mg next or in two weeks.
Edit: sorry for the LATE response. During this time i've also done Ostarine and now LGD but here is my results and opinion on MK677.
RESPONSE: I took mk677 for over 6 months instead of 8 weeks. 8 weeks is not enough to reap the full benefits of GH and especially from MK677 that isn't even anabolic. Keep in mind real GH is expensive so most of us will resort to MK677.
Stand alone mk677 isn't worth it to become unnatural. It's better to start off with test or sarms. You can argue you can make gains because GH does help you recover faster. Faster recovery means it allows you to hit the same muscle atleast twice per week. The problem here is that you should be already hitting each muscle twice per week if your program/diet is good. One other problem here is that you're trading your natty card and some health problems that can rise up for SMALL NEGLIGIBLE gains.
Aside from that, you can get away with a low dosage with even 10mg EOD and reap the benefits. I've done this plenty of times throughout the months. Benefits i've noticed are: quick regrowth of hair, quick nail regrowth, faster muscle recovery, deep sleep, younger looking skin, joints healed, and somewhat fuller muscle look. I did not notice a hunger that some people get. Weight in the gym barely went up but during this time I was not bulking so it was forseeable.
I've dailed the dosage up to 25mg at one point but noticed i've started to get high blood pressure and huge water rentention. I quickly dropped the dosage own to around 10mg, cleaned up my diet more, and quickly felt better. I dropped the water weight and blood pressure went back down.
TLDR; Not worth to use as a stand alone to make gains unless you stay on mk677 for a lot of months; even then its sort of not worth it. Not worth because you have to watch your diet because high water retention can fuck up your blood pressure and more. Would only use if you have an injury, used with a SERM for PCT to keep gains from a real cycle, or a personal reason. (opinion)
Have been on it from the last 3 Months, started at 170LBS now consistently over 180LBs, my hunger increased in the first 4-6 weeks and my sleep since I've been taking in it has been great, feel awesome training at the gym and recovery its amazing
how old are you guys im 19 and I feel like gh is already naturally high I wonder if this will have the same effect
I'm 27 going for 28 this year
And then also very important, I've been a trainer since 2014 and been training for a long time before that so I'd suggest try to get as much as you can while you're 19 and test your limit before trying anything else
@@Luke-eo6kp im 22. I have been training for more than 3 years. Currently I have gained 6-7lbs. My dosage is still 10mg.
Appreciate the videos dude keep doing what you do
worked for me. started at 10 mg, bumped it up to 20. still snack too much at night to lose all the belly fat. but as a middle aged man, I m working on that.
what about blood glucose level? Are u monitoring it?
@@jnaneshnayak5859 I take berberine, cinnamon w chromium. not testing but will be getting a full panel soon
@@zed-vb8js any updates on the benifits and side effects in your experience?
Thank you for this video.
Do a video on best steroids/sarms for least amount of hair loss
In the pipeline.
@@MorePlatesMoreDates what prescription do you need to get to buy mk-677 and can a 17nyear old use it.also how much does it cost?
I don't know why but this was a funny comment
I know a guy been on ostarine and rad 140 on over a 9 month cycle. Didnt loose anything neither did his Test drop any significantly. People over thinking this sarms thing. Alcohol is more dangerous.
Dude. Fuck the hair. Shave the shit if you’re balding and make those gains. It’s better to just shave your head and be confident if you’re balding.
These are the best videos
Certified Hood Classic here. Was here when this dropped
Really complete video!
I wear a continuous glucose monitor. MK-677 elevated my glucose (and I presume insulin) for several days--not just a spike. I would guess that is why it increases muscle, but does not seem to reduce fat, despite increasing IGF. Also made me lethargic as well.
Gotta eat in deficit, lower carbs, deploy blood glucose regulating supps. Would like to see research on those things though.
You need to take it in the evening to avoid becoming tired during the day
Try intermittent fasting
Definitely not for someone with diabetes..
Good stuff!
