MK-677, also known as Ibutamoren or Nutrobal, is a potent, orally active growth hormone secretagogue that mimics the action of the endogenous hormone ghrelin by binding to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a).(1) Unlike peptide-based growth hormone secretagogues, MK-677 is a non-peptide compound with excellent oral bioavailability, making it a valuable tool in growth hormone research. This compound has been reported by researchers to stimulate the release of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) through pulsatile, physiological patterns.
