Side effects of Ibutamoren

Ibutamoren, also called Nutrobal or MK-667, is an investigational drug most commonly used by athletes to enhance their workouts and build more stamina. It is also a GH secretagogue which assists in the development of bodily functions and the body itself. This drug is not a steroid and nor is it a SARM.

Instead, it is called a growth hormone, which essentially helps in muscle retention and reverses the aging process. It is not a fully legalized drug yet, so the full extent of its benefits and side effects may not be available. However, let’s dive into some of the details that researchers have provided for Ibutamoren.

Effects of Ibutamoren

Ibutamoren is the main ingredient in MK-677. It is a substance that quickly turns into a liquid and easily moves within the body. Ibutamoren develops its effects in the pituitary gland, making it possible to increase the production of natural GH. Therefore, increasing GH levels in your body can have a significant impact on muscle growth.

There are actually two types of MK-677: oral and subcutaneous (under the skin). The benefits and side effects of MK-677 are the same for both oral and subcutaneous forms.

Side Effects 

Ibutamoren is not a SARM. Hence, its side effects are very minimal. You may encounter body changes only because of the increase of hormones in your body, which will fade in time. However, misuse of any drug is harmful to your body. Taking an unregulated amount of the drug may cause:

Water retention, which will cause bloating and stiffen your muscles.

Increase your sugar levels which might be harmful if you have some health conditions.

It will make you lazy and unproductive.
