Appetite and Growth Hormones

Mk 677 is an orally absorbed compound that can significantly stimulate appetite, which may be beneficial for older individuals struggling to maintain muscle mass. While it can elevate cortisol and prolactin levels, it has been found useful in specific cases, particularly for those on testosterone. Caution is advised regarding its timing, as taking it at bedtime can disrupt sleep. Other growth hormone secretagogues like tesamorelin and hexarelin may be preferable for patients looking to avoid appetite stimulation.
