Ibutamoren is mainly used by muscle builders and those people who are interested in increasing the levels of their growth hormones because of its potent muscle-building properties. It is also known as Mk-677 or ibutamoren mesylate.

Research has proven that ibutamoren is effective in promoting the secretion of growth hormones as well as increasing insulin-like growth factor. This compound is also known for increasing the levels of the growth hormones in the following ways;

• By bind itself to the brain’s ghrelin receptors (GHSR)
• By mimicking the activities of ghrelin hormone

It is the activation of the brain ghrelin receptors that stimulate the production or release of growth hormones from the brain. GHSR is mainly found in the brain regions that control mood, appetite, biological rhythms, cognition, and memory.

Increasing the Bone Density

The release of growth hormone helps increase bone density and bone turnover. Results from ongoing clinical trials show that Mk-677 can be used by elderly adults to increase the bone-building process. Other findings show that it can increase the bone mineral density in postmenopausal women. Increasing bone density is an effective way of preventing osteoporosis and increasing bone strength..

Combating the Deficiency of Growth Hormones

This product helps increase the levels of growth hormone, IGFBP-3, and IGF-1 in children having a deficiency of growth hormones. This compound does not alter the levels of glucose, prolactin, cortisol, insulin, thyroxine, thyrotropin or triiodothyronine.

Improving Sleep Quality
