Ibutamoren is quite a known name among the substances

Ibutamoren is quite a known name among the substances which help in bodybuilding. It is a chemical substance which promotes the secretion of growth hormones (GH). It is an orally active non-peptide growth hormone secretagogue. The IUPAC name for this chemical compound is2-Amino-2-methyl-N-[1-(1-methylsulfonylspiro[2H-indole-3,4'-piperidine]-1'-yl)-1-oxo-3-(phenylmethoxy)propan-2-yl]propanamide. This substance is also known as MK-677 or MK-0677, which are the developmental names.
Ibutamoren mimics the action of ghrelin (R), and binds to ghrelin receptors in the brain (R). This promotes the secretion of growth hormones and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) from the brain, without affecting the cortisol levels or other hormones. Cortisol hormone reduces the immunity of the body as well as the healing ability.It also causes hearing loss and memory loss. That is why Ibutamoren is a preferred body building and mass gaining substance. The major benefits of this chemical compound are:

1. Helps in muscle building and mass gaining: This is an anbolic substance which helps lean and thin people to gain body mass and build muscles. It reduces body fat as the metabolism rate is increased. The body weight gained is mostly fat-free which makes you stronger.
   
2. It increases bone density: Studies have found that the growth hormone increases the bone turnover and hence the bone density. It might take a year or more for the results to be observed significantly. Also, initially the bone density might decrease and then increase. It is known to combat osteoporosis.
   
3. Reduces muscle wasting: Ibutamoren reduces diet-induced protein loss, which might cause muscle wasting.
   
4. Improves sleep: It was observed during studies that this substance improves the quality of sleep as well as the REM (Rapid eye movement) sleep duration in humans.
   
5. Improves cognitive function: This substance promotes secretion of IGF-1 which is known for improving memory and learning ability of the brain.
   
6. Treats growth hormone deficiency: It increases growth hormones, IGF-1, IGFBP-3 in children as well as adults, without increasing other hormone levels like cortisol, prolactin, thyroid hormones and PRL.
7. Increases healing ability: Many believe that since growth hormone regenerates the tissues and helps in healing of wounds, this drug can improve the healing and recovering process. Some even say that it can be used to cure hangovers. But no scientific study has been made yet to supports this statement.
   

8. Increases the lifetime: In a study, it was shown that this substance might help in improving the lifetime of humans.
Studies show that it improves the nitrogen retention, energy levels, skin complexion and hair quality also. It activates receptors which prepare the body to nourish and grow. It also decreases LDL cholesterol levels and fights obesity. It is k Ibutamoren is still under scientific study. It is being studied for Alzheimer's disease and growth hormone deficiency. With so many benefits revealed in the recent studies without causing any adverse effects, it is a subject of interest to body builders and athletes.
It is a chemical drug which should be taken only under proper medical guidance. It should be taken only once a day to avoid any adverse effects. It is available only at the counters.
