Dosing guide
| Level | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 10 mg | tolerance check |
| Standard | 20 mg | once daily |
| Common ceiling | 25 mg | once daily — more adds sides, not results |
Timing & cycling
Evening dosing routes the hunger surge into sleep and lines GH release up with the overnight pulse. Morning works if it disrupts your sleep instead.
Cycle length. 8–16 weeks; long continuous use warrants bloodwork breaks.
Storage & handling
Store capsules or powder in a cool, dry, dark place, tightly closed. Follow the product's own expiry date.
Key points
- Not actually a peptide — it is an orally active small-molecule GH secretagogue, which is exactly why no injections are involved.
- Hunger, mild ankle/hand puffiness, and vivid dreams are the classic first-fortnight package.
- Diabetics and pre-diabetics should treat the glucose effect as disqualifying without medical supervision.
What to monitor
Fasting glucose is the one to respect — MK-677 measurably reduces insulin sensitivity in studies. Also watch water retention and blood pressure.
Legal & prescription status
No legal prescription exists. It is an unapproved research chemical, sold only for laboratory research and labelled 'not for human consumption.' It is not FDA-approved for any human use.
