Ibutamoren 60 caps (25 mg/1 cap)

Ibutamoren works by increasing the production of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which in turn stimulate anabolism and protein synthesis in the muscles.

Effects of taking Ibutamoren

Studies of the effects of Ibutamoren on the human body have shown that a single dose of the drug at a dose of 25 mg causes an average peak concentration of GH equal to 22.1 μg / l. Higher doses cause even higher levels of peak concentrations of growth hormone. Ibutamoren maintains the level of growth hormone in the blood plasma, due to which it is produced in a constant background.

The use of the drug allows you to increase the level of IGF-1 by 39-89%. The effect of IGF-1 on the human body:

1. fat oxidation (fat burning);
2. increase in lean muscle mass;
3. wound healing;
4. restoration of damaged tendons, ligaments.

Medical indications for taking Ibutamoren

It may be recommended for the following medical indications:

1. Growth hormone deficiency: Ibutamoren may be used to treat growth hormone deficiency in children and adults caused by pituitary insufficiency, Sheihan's disease, or other disorders.
2. Cachexia: Ibutamoren may be used to treat cachexia (extreme malnutrition) that can occur with cancer or AIDS.
3. Osteoporosis: Ibutamoren can be used to treat osteoporosis, as it helps strengthen bone tissue.
4. Klinefelter Syndrome: Ibutamoren can be used to increase growth hormone levels and improve quality of life in men with Klinefelter syndrome.
5. Anorexia: Ibutamoren may be used to treat anorexia, as it can stimulate appetite and increase body weight.

It should be noted that Ibutamoren is not approved for any of the above medical indications, but may be used in some cases as directed by a physician.

How does Ibutamoren work?

MK-677 affects several areas of the brain responsible for metabolic interaction. This is done in 4 ways:

1. increases the production of GHRH (GHRH causes increased secretion of growth hormone by the anterior pituitary gland),
2. reduces the level of somatostatin (somatostatin is a peptide hormone that inhibits the secretion of growth hormone),
3. promotes GHRH signals in the pituitary gland,
4. limits somatostatin receptor signals.

Application and dosage of Ibutamoren

Studies have shown that the effect of the drug does not depend on gender, age and other indicators of a person.

A daily dose of 25 mg is comparable to injectable growth hormone.

With a weight of up to 80 kg, take 1 capsule per day on an empty stomach before going to bed (if the evening intake of the drug interferes with sleep, then the intake should be postponed to the morning and taken before breakfast on an empty stomach).

If your weight is more than 80 kg, then you should add one more capsule before breakfast (total one capsule in the evening before bedtime, the second in the morning on an empty stomach). The duration of growth hormone stimulation after a single dose of the drug is 8 hours or more. This duration of growth hormone production is very effective in stimulating the production of insulin-like growth factor-1.

Side effects

The use of Ibutamoren may cause side effects such as increased appetite, swelling and increased blood glucose levels. Also, in some cases, with prolonged use, the drug may increase the risk of developing diabetes and other diseases.

Therefore, before using Ibutamoren or other similar drugs, athletes should consult a specialist, conduct the necessary studies and follow the recommendations for dosage and regimen.

What other drugs will affect Ibutamoren

Ibutamoren may interact with certain medications. For example, antihistamines can reduce the effectiveness of Ibutamoren, as they block the action of histamine, which plays an important role in the production of growth hormone.

You should also avoid concomitant use of Ibutamoren with insulin or other medicines that increase insulin levels, as this can lead to a decrease in blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

Before using Ibutamoren, it is necessary to consult a doctor and report all medications taken in order to avoid possible interactions and side effects.

Advantages and disadvantages

Ibutamoren is a relatively new drug, so its full effect on the human body has not yet been studied. However, based on the available research and reviews, some pros and cons of Ibutamoren can be identified:

Pros:

• Ibutamoren increases the production of growth hormone and can help increase muscle mass and reduce body fat percentage.
• The drug can improve the quality of sleep and promote faster recovery after exercise.
• Ibutamoren may help improve metabolism and increase energy levels.

Minuses:

• Side effects such as headache, nausea, dry mouth, drowsiness, increased appetite and lower blood sugar levels are possible.
• Ibutamoren may interact with certain medications and increase the risk of unwanted side effects.
• The drug is not recommended for people who have problems with the cardiovascular system or high blood pressure.
