MK-677

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

GH-Axis Activation

Elicits reproducible rises in GH and IGF-1 levels in rodent plasma assays, modeling endocrine pulses.

Appetite-Regulation Models

Modulates feeding-behavior endpoints in diet-induced obesity (DIO) rodent studies.

Lean-Mass Signaling

Enhances protein-synthesis markers (mTOR, S6K) in myoblast and muscle-cell culture assays.

Metabolic-Health Profiling

Impacts adipocyte glucose uptake and lipolysis markers for a full picture of energy balance.

Oral-Dosing Convenience

Capsules ensure uniform 10 mg doses for gavage or dietary-mix protocols—eliminating weighing errors.

Extended Shelf Life

Ambient-stable formulation retains full activity for up to 18 months, easing inventory management.

What Is MK-677 (Ibutamoren)?

MK-677—also known as Ibutamoren—is a small-molecule ghrelin-receptor agonist that stimulates endogenous growth-hormone (GH) secretion. In preclinical research, MK-677 capsules are used to explore how sustained GH and IGF-1 elevations affect metabolism, muscle signaling, and appetite regulation under controlled, oral-dosing conditions.

Why Choose MK-677 Capsules?

Researchers select MK-677 capsules for their ease of use and translational relevance. The oral-delivery format mirrors human administration routes, while the pre-measured 10 mg dosage ensures every study begins with a consistent peptide amount. Whether mapping GH-axis feedback loops or modeling feeding-behavior changes, MK-677 capsules streamline workflows and boost data reproducibility.

What Sets MK-677 Apart?

Unlike injectable secretagogues, MK-677 capsules offer true oral bioavailability, making them ideal for modeling gastrointestinal absorption and long-term dosing studies. Their high purity and minimal-excipient formulation deliver clean, reliable GH-IGF-1 responses, so you can focus on interpreting metabolic outcomes—without extra handling steps or hormone peaks.

MK-677 FAQs

What is MK-677 (Ibutamoren) used for?

To model growth-hormone (GH) and IGF-1 axis activation, appetite regulation, and metabolic-health endpoints in preclinical studies.

How much MK-677 is in each capsule?

Each oral capsule delivers 10 mg of MK-677 (Ibutamoren).

Can I open MK-677 capsules for in vitro use?

Yes—empty the capsule into buffer or culture medium for precise dosing in cell-based assays.

What rodent dose is typical for MK-677?

Common protocols range from 2–10 mg/kg via oral gavage, adjusted per study design.

What in vitro concentration is recommended?

Researchers often use 100–500 nM in cell-culture assays to probe GH-receptor activity.

How should MK-677 capsules be stored?

Store at room temperature (15–25 °C) in a dry, dark place; capsules remain stable for 18 months.

Why choose capsules over powder for MK-677?

Capsules guarantee uniform 10 mg doses, eliminate weighing variability, and simplify oral-dosing workflows.

Are there any fillers in MK-677 capsules?

Only pharmaceutical-grade microcrystalline cellulose, minimizing assay interference.

Is MK-677 endotoxin-tested?

As a non-peptide, endotoxin testing isn’t applicable; formulation meets microbial-grade standards.

Where can I buy MK-677 Ibutamoren capsules?

Real Peptides offers MK-677 (Ibutamoren) 10 mg capsules (60 ct), USA-manufactured, ≥ 99% purity—strictly for research use only.
