I just take MK-677 with melatonin before bed. Melatonin is a mild somatostatin inhibitor. Huperzine A in the morning is a very good somatostatin inhibitor. So is horny goat weed.

Electric grills are awesome, also throw in a foil pouch with water soaked mesquite chips with holes poked in the foil to give a smoke flavor to the steaks. Steak + eggs + salmon + metrx = great protein weekly.

I am still on the year-round targeted ketogenic diet (TKD, carbs kept to less than 25 grams daily) except on workout days when I consume 40 grams pre-workout (1 to 1.5 hour before) in the form of oatmeal (plus a few raisins) microwaved in milk. Then add a pre-cut up frozen bannana to my postworkout met-rx pure protein shake for some postworkout carbs, then of course back to keto diet for the rest of the day. Been loosing fat this way while adding muscle weekly. I also take 1 tablet of blood sugar support from arazos 20 minutes before meals, to keep insulin working effectively as mk677 and GH both will decrease your insulin sensitivity a bit.

Supplements daily:
* 50 grams met-rx pure protein plus,
* 25mg mk677 in morning + 50mcg (1/2 a huperzine tablet) + a formula which contains 200mg cdp choline + 100mg alpha gpc choline (this all helps keeps somatostatin low as GH works thru the choline system)
* 1 tablet arazo blood sugar support (glucose disposal agent) 20 minutes before meals, sometimes throw in additional chromium picolinate and vanadyl sulfate (reduces blood sugar 20%) or cinnamon supplement (reduces 25%).
* 3 grams HMB daily (buy in bulk powder form from bulksupplements, 6 months supply around 40 dollars)
* year round 200mg a week TRT cypionate + 1/4 mg arimidex with each of the twice weekly shots of 100mg.
* 5 grams creatine daily
* give blood every few months

workout schedule:
1st day: chest, triceps, shoulders [push]
2nd day: rest
3rd day: legs + abs
4rth day: rest
5th day: back, biceps, traps [pull]
Like Dan Duchaine once wrote in his book "Bodyopus" working out each bodypart just once a week is highly effective.

fun schedule for mental & spiritual health:
go to waterpark to go swimming at least once or twice a week = nature peace of mind
other days: walk dog in shaded park with river and clear streams and hundred year old trees = nature peace of mind
stay mindful spiritually

movies seen recently:
Annihilation with Natalie Portman (sci-fi)
Submergence with Alicia Vikander (actress from Tomb Raider)

** I will back at the end of July with more followup bloodwork after being on MK677 for 4 months + spouse bloodwork upcoming.

Summary: 25mg mk677 daily in am with choline enhancers increased my igf-1 from 227 to 372 total in 2 weeks, increase of 145 points, which is very similar to 4iu of Chinese pharmacy grade GH which is used to treat dwarfism in China.

I have been on 25mg daily of mk677 for 2 months now, added 60 lbs to 20 rep squat in that time, and all upper body lifts went up around 5lbs weekly. Get about an added 20 to 25% increase in strength from it just like JohnJuanb1.

The study on older healthy adults shows the igf-1 levels continue to rise up to high at the 6 month period, then level around there and stay at that high 6 month elevation even at the 1 and 2 year mark. I will be conducting igf-1 bloodwork not only at 4 months, but also at each 1 year anniversary to chart my own as well.

You can control bloat pretty well by staying on a ketogenic diet like myself if need be, I'm on this diet year-round.

Cant wait to see results. One question though. How come you don't use 25mg MK with 200mg Huperzine A 3x/day? Would that not significantly lower somatostatin compared to the stack you are running?

Maybe on paper this could be true, but I just wrote a lil something about this. MK cannot and should not be compared to growth in any way because they are not the same and personally I get different results from the two. They need to come out with some sort of study that has two identical athletes that have the same diet and exercise routine. One should use 4-5 ius of pharm grade HGH and Ill let the other guy use as much MK and CJC or whatever other peptide he chooses. Guarantee the guy on HGH will look more transformed. I like MK, I really like it for bulking due to the appetite increase. But at the end of the day it is a secretagouge while HGH 191 is endogenous. Now I'm not saying you cant combine the two for better results or that MK is worthless by no means. I just think threads where the comparison of MK to HGH are a lil overhyped. MK is great but HGH is on a different level brothers. If it wasn't people wouldn't still be spending upwards of $300 a kit (ok yes I know it can be cheaper or more expensive just throwing out an average price for good HGH) while the top of purity MK sells for $100 a gram (I havent seen it priced more than this but maybe I'm mistaken; I get good quality MK in bulk powder for around $60 or so a gram). Everyone would be using MK if this were the case haha. The bottom line is MK-677 is a great compound, but it aint HGH so please lets try to stop even trying to remotely comparing the two. I always say "You gotta pay the costs if you wanna be the boss"

I will however say if you are looking for a lil boost MK alone is a good option, also if you have a poor appetite in the offseason it is a life saver. Just don't think if you are currently using 4-5 ius of HGH that you can switch to MK. I believe by no means will you get the same benefits.

Thanks good info.

Thank you, very interesting thread.

so is anyone running both hgh and mk677 together?

I like how OP started this thread and hyped the shit out of MK and then people started asking follow up questions and he bounced. Guess he did his job selling the product.

THinking about running mk677 but the water retention and hunger/lethargy makes me stay away from it. Anyone ever had success running mk677 without these problems?

This is my first post here. Just wanted to share my experience with MK and possibly a way to make it a lot more effective. I ran it for a year straight, ending in Sept of this year. I dosed it at 20mg/ed for the first six month and took on about 8 lbs of water the first couple weeks but that eventually went away. I felt it helped a bit with recovery and retaining mass while doing EOD water fasting. Never lost any size and strength was still really good.

For the second half of the year I dissolved the MK in 99.9% pure DMSO and administered it sublingually at 10mg/ED. This is where it made a huge difference for me. Body fat steadily decreased and I got to the leanest I've probably ever been. But what made me really think this ROA was much more effective though, was that my arms started going completely numb during the night...I'm not talking about the occasional arm asleep kind of thing. I'm talking completely numb from the shoulder down every night...so numb that it was really painful when the blood started returning to the limb. This only started happening when I started the sublingual/DMSO ROA.

I know a lot of people don't like DMSO, but I thought some of you might like to give it a whirl and save a little money. I've read in some medical papers that MK's bioavailability is only around 30%. Can anyone confirm this? If so, the DMSO might be able to drastically increase the bioavailability. Anyway...if you can stand DMSO under your tongue for a few minutes it might help.
