Second pic 🤬5 month ibutamoren. Feel like my arms shrunk lol? Might just be excessive water distorting the perception but not convinced. Can see overall way more water weight.

Strict case
GH/IGF-1 elevation, insulin resistance and a CHF safety signal in an RCT.
Users report
Lifters like the appetite, sleep and fullness, but most say gains are mostly water and fat. People keep glucometers or berberine handy because of insulin resistance. Lethargy, tingling hands and bloat are routine. 'Just run HGH' is a common verdict.
Best effects
Appetite and weight gain · deeper sleep · fuller muscles (water) · IGF-1 increase

Stacked with
RAD-140 or other SARMs: The classic SARM-shop cycle; makes it impossible to tell what MK-677 itself did, and one documented RAD-140 + MK-677 cycle ended with ALT at three times normal. · Berberine or metformin: Taken by many users to blunt the rise in blood sugar; some also keep a glucometer. · Testosterone or AAS cycles: Used alongside gear for sleep, appetite and recovery. · Enclomiphene: Paired in 'natty plus' cycles to keep testosterone up while on SARMs.
My hands and feet would get super numb while working out. ... After the total 8 weeks I increased my bench from failing 215 to hitting 255. Gained around 15 lbs and had minimal side effects.
i took mk 677 for a month and went from 72-77kg. All my lifts went up (bench press +15kg). you get hungry but its not that bad, sleep and recovery were great but my left arm would feel numb at night.
it gives you insane hunger. I was dumb and couldn’t wait so I Ran a 2 week trial run and have been eating 4500-6000 calories a day 300+g protein and have gone broke form eating so much food
I started taking MK-677 being very underweight and hardly eating at 107lbs... Off the top of my head the best progression I had over the 2 month span of taking MK-677 was Now I weigh 130LBS
I experienced fairly intense growing pains following the first and second doses of mk. ... my bust has also grown like 2.5" in the time I've been taking it.
I did 150 days of MK 25mg per day (in solution). I'm M, 26, 5'9" and started at 181. Natural other this. Ending weight was 196, and I've since cut back down to 185, maintaining steady there. So I think 3-4lbs of muscle is a good estimate.
No height increase, I was always starving, horny, and energized. Best sleep of my life, honestly gains from mk677 are not worth doing it’s only worth it for it’s other effects
I just finished a 8 week run of mk-677 and the only negative side I had was the bloating which was very slight. My sleep was amazing super vivid dreams and recovery was for sure better.
about a week in i developed pre diabetic symptoms from the food i was eating but i just kept pushing it. ... my takeaway is that mk does give you high bfp high water weight and it makes you get ugly.
For the whole 8 weeks my face was really puffy and I was bloated pretty much everywhere. ... Overall I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone still in puberty and honestly probably to anyone just because after you get off it has for me been very hard to gain strength.
It's not bad, my lifts went up, much easier to bulk and saved my shitty appetite. However it increased my fasted blood sugar up to 95-105 range, I had to stop and within a week it went down to 74.
The glucose issues are clear though. At least for me I could tell my blood sugar was messed up just by the way I felt. Taking berberine fixed the problems though.

My endo recently prescribed me Ibutamoren 12.5 ED PM. I've only been taking it for a week, but my weight has shot up. I've gained 8 lbs (170-178). I'm on a cut
i gained like 10kg off 8 weeks. did i get fat as fuck? yes. did i make a lot of gains? not really. its deadass just a pill that makes u eat more and sleep a little better.
Ironically made my sdb worse probably because it swells your soft tissue and increases rem sleep which is usually the period of sleep that’s worst for UARS/OSA sufferers.
I took it for a few months a few years ago. Increased my strength and energy but numb hands and I think it may have damaged the nerves in my hands long term

Each bead is one amino acid in the peptide's chain, coloured by its side chain: grey for non-polar, cyan for polar, blue for positively charged and fuchsia for negatively charged. Length and mix tell related peptides apart at a glance, from a two-residue dipeptide like carnosine to a 43-residue protein like thymosin beta-4. The colours describe chemistry only and predict neither effect nor safety.

Report grades
Every first-hand Reddit or X report is graded on its own, from glowing through positive, mixed, nothing and negative to bad reaction, and the bar shows how those grades split. Posts that look vendor-adjacent stay on the peptide's page but are left out of the counts.
GlowingPositiveMixedNothingNegativeBad reaction
% positive
The share of a peptide's graded Reddit and X reports that are glowing or positive, vendor-adjacent posts left out. A peptide with few reports is pulled toward the average of all reports, as if it had eight average ones besides its own, so two glowing posts cannot top the list. Kept peptides rank by the same reports' mean grade, shrunk the same way, and excluded ones follow in that order.
Researcher estimate
No first-hand report of this peptide has been graded yet, so the figure is the researchers' own rating out of 10 from what they read about it. It ranks alongside the computed scores until reports arrive.
Safety tier
Each peptide is tiered clean, caution or excluded from its five risk axes under the chosen safety bar. An excluded peptide has a plausible route to serious harm, so it stays listed with the reason but ranks behind every other entry, however good its reviews.
Safety bar
The safety bar sets how much risk it takes to exclude a peptide. Strict: out on any serious mechanism with little human data, or any documented serious harm. Balanced: out on documented serious harm (unless it is obvious, reversible and from a regulated product), or a serious mechanism whose harm would be silent with no human data at all. Evidence only: out only on documented serious harm in humans that is lasting, delayed or from grey-market product.
Seen harm
Documented serious adverse events in humans, from 0 for none despite real exposure to 3 for deaths or several well-documented serious harms. Serious means a hospital or emergency visit or harm lasting weeks, so a headache or a bad night does not count.
Mechanism
A plausible biological route to serious harm at the doses people use, such as growth-factor signalling, hormone-axis suppression, heart or blood-pressure effects or immune activation. It runs from 0 when none is known to 3 when a dangerous pathway has been shown in living animals.
Data gap
How little human safety data exists for the molecule actually sold, from 0 for an approved drug with large trials and years of use to 3 for no human safety data at all. A modified analogue does not inherit its parent's trials.
Silent harm
Whether the feared harm would show quickly or stay hidden, from 0 when it is obvious and goes on stopping to 3 when it is silent and delayed, like tumour promotion or slow organ damage. User reports cannot reveal a harm that takes years to appear, so a high score here limits what good reviews can tell you.
Product
The risk of what people actually buy, from 0 for a regulated pharmacy or supplement product taken by mouth or on the skin to 3 for a grey-market injectable. In one dataset of 6,441 grey-market samples, 42–71% failed basic quality criteria and 15% carried endotoxin.
Evidence
The strongest kind of study behind the peptide's effects, from an approved drug through human controlled trials and small human studies to animal work or nothing of its own. Animal results often fail to carry over to people.
Access
How people get it: as an approved drug, a compounded prescription, an over-the-counter supplement or from the grey market, where nobody checks the vial. The channel decides both the legal position and the risk of a bad batch.
Price per month
Thirty days of the typical dose, from its low end to its high end, priced at the listing a careful buyer would choose: in stock, from a shop scoring 4 of 5 on trust (third-party tested where no score is set), failing that 3, a pure pack before a blend, a European shop first, then the cheapest per mg. The range is the dose's, not the shops'. A per-dose amount counts once a day unless the dose says otherwise. Prices are in euros at ECB rates of 2026-10-29, before shipping; the shop table keeps each listing's price per mg, per gram for bulk supplements. Where no listing can be priced the researchers' own estimate stands in, and says so.
Dose users report
The middle half of the daily doses stated in at least five first-hand reports, vendor posts left out. Where its middle sits more than twice above or below the declared dose, the month is priced at it as well, since what people take is what they pay for.
Testing
Whether the shop publishes lab results: third-party tested means an independent lab checks each batch, own COA means the shop's own certificate of analysis, and no public tests means neither. A certificate shows purity, not safety.
Added peptide
Some packs sold under one peptide's name hold a second one, such as 5 mg GHK-Cu in a nasal kit, stated only in the description. Sprayed in the nose or injected it reaches the blood like an injection, so it carries the risk of that route and is tiered as the injectable form, whatever its tier on the skin. A pack whose page gives no contents list may hold more than its name.
