I started taking Mk677 at night to increase my igf-1. I've noticed some swelling in my ankles. Is this a known side effects or something I should be concerned about? Just wanted to hear from some other people that have taken it.

I took mk677 a looooong time and yes I had this issues too. It's normal. How much do you take each day?
 
In my experience I had to use MK677 like I do with GH. Smaller doses at first to increasing dose over time. Taking your time can help with the sides and help you find a dose that works for you.
 
The mk677 that i bought comes in 15mg capsules. I'm taking 30mg daily, think it would be worth cutting that in half?
 
30mg is a lot for the first time I guess, I took 20mg over a year! I have to tell you since I'm changed to HGH everything went better, mood, sleep, hunger, fat burn, recovery. You can never compare mk with real HGH. And I speak about low dose HGH! I'm not sure but I guess 20mg of mk equals 1-2iu maybe?

My first run with MK677 I had 25mg tabs. I split them in half to start and used 12.5 for about 4/5 wks before tapering up. Tabs make life easier tho. Caps can be a pain in the ass. I back it down to half, so 1 cap daily before bed. Start there and see how that goes after 2-3wks, then consider going up in dose.
 
If you take MK-677, cycle it for 8-12 weeks and use Berberine to combat insulin resistance and be sure to eat less sugary and processed food and replace with caloric dense foods.

No compound is right or wrong, the point is to maximize nutrient absorption, have an effective routine and adhere to consistency for best gains possible.

also if you hold onto water, I recommend increasing hydration and possibly taking a diuretic. I took Mk677 for 8 weeks. Now I’m back on HGH.

I much prefer mk677 but HGH is waaaay cheaper lol

Very common side effect Mk is water retention. For me it's pretty severe. I've tried several methods but for me it's too much. Have to cycle off every time.
 
Man I feel a lot better after reading this. I'm going to drop it down to 15mg and if the swelling doesn't go away just drop it. That brings me to my next question. If Mk makes my ankles swell up like a pregnant lady does that mean I will be susceptible to it on gh? I really want to run 2iu a day for anti aging benefits.

Currently running 2iu right now as a maintenance dose and having no issues with water retention.

Same process friend…start low and build up. I’ve heard guys that had to start at 1IU for 3-4wks and then go to 2, and so on. I’m running 4IU at night before bed and I don’t have any negative sides at all.

This enhanced journey is a marathon not a sprint so take your time and you will learn thru experience. It’s a lot of trial and error but the more research you do and questions you ask with help you make the best educated decisions instead of just winging it. Good luck & be safe!

I’ve been using 25 mg of somatozine for over a year.

Mainly for anti aging properties

I feel like it has been helpful in this regard.

No swelling or water retention that I can tell. No sides to speak of.

Anyone else use this brand??

Hey bro I think you know the answer to your question. Personally I always go low those on everything, but especially with something I am unfamiliar with... The beauty part of it, is that you can always add more. Just remember once you've ingested it you can not undo it.

Yeah you're right. I should have started out lower. I honestly didn't think the brand i got was legit. I got it from a local store in town so I thought 30mg would be fine. Definitely a lesson learned to start small and build up.
I spent a couple years working 12 hour days so now that I have time I'm getting back into this fitness journey it's hard to be patient. I will be 40 this year and I need to remember in not young anymore. Slow and steady

Yeah I'm on 12s myself and it does present a challenge to everything from eating to lifting. Enjoy your pass time bro.

First time I ran it this is the brand I used. Definitely legit. The lethargy from it was too much for me unfortunately.

Water retention, fatigue, and high blood pressure are the side effects I had. For me, the water was retained in my muscles and my gut. I got great pumps and was very full looking in the muscles with a gorilla turtle shell stomach. It was great for added strength too. I used MK-677 for a couple years straight when I was too poor to afford HGH. It’s great stuff but stimulants are necessary to stay awake at work. I haven’t used it in years. It may be fun since getting HGH is really difficult right now. I just have to keep an eye on my blood pressure. My whole family has high blood pressure, and I’m on telmistartan, nebivolol, HCTZ, and tadalifil to control it. Plus, my diet is very clean most of the time. I’m thinking about getting a pizza though. I haven’t had one in weeks. 🍕

Medical studies show 25mg MK-677 gets IGF1 levels in the 300’s which is comparable to 4iu HGH. I posted the studies in a thread I did on another forum. I was the original guinney pig for MK-677 back in 2014. My 279 page thread is still available over at PM. It’s a great product! It was the poor man’s HGH back then. How things have changed…

That's crazy 25mg equals 4 iu's is great! I always thought 20mg equals 1-2 ui's max! but in my opinion, recovery, sleep, training, skin and wound healing are still better on HGH.

That was just a comparison of MK-677 and HGH based on the elevation of IGF1 invivo. I prefer HGH as well. I don’t retain much water on HGH, and it doesn’t elevate my blood pressure. The recovery time in between workouts on HGH is greatly reduced for me. Back in 2014, MK-677 was so much less experience than HGH that it was the best option I had. Before this tariff stuff I was getting real high quality HGH at 180ius for $90. My source isn’t selling it for awhile until things get sorted out on the tariff situation.
Peptides and research products have gone up in price a ton over the past decade while HGH price has decreased.

It doesn't equal 4 IUs of HGH.
