Key Takeaways: “While both SARMs and peptides are used in performance and therapeutic research, they are chemically and mechanistically distinct. SARMs are non-peptidic, small-molecule ligands designed to selectively modulate androgen receptors, whereas peptides are amino acid chains that typically act through hormonal signalling pathways. Conflating the two reflects a misunderstanding of fundamental molecular biology.”– Dr. …
Key Takeaways The Confusion Around MK‑677: Why So Many People Get It Wrong If you’ve browsed fitness forums or supplement sites, you’ve probably seen MK‑677 (Ibutamoren) grouped with SARMs – or even called a “non‑steroidal steroid.” But here’s the truth: MK‑677 is not a SARM, not a steroid, and not a peptide. So why the …
IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) is a powerful anabolic growth factor – a hormone naturally produced in the liver in response to growth hormone (GH) stimulation. It plays a central role in: Think of IGF-1 as the execution arm of growth hormone – GH gives the signal, IGF-1 gets the work done. How IGF-1 Works (The …

When it comes to SARMs, labelling isn’t enough – you need data. That’s where HPLC comes in – the gold standard for verifying compound purity, safety, and identity. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is the industry-standard analytical method used to verify the purity, identity, and stability of chemical compounds, including Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs). It’s …
To save you reading all the small print, we’ve reviewed and summarised the research about MK677 Study 1: Nass R, et al. (2008) Title: Effects of an oral ghrelin mimetic on body composition and clinical outcomes in healthy older adults: a randomized trialLink: PubMed Summary This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the long-term effects (12 …
Meet MK-677, also known as Ibutamoren. It’s not a SARM. Let’s get that out of the way early. It merely loiters in the same online forums, gets mistaken for one due to guilt by association, and is occasionally found wearing a hoodie that says “anabolic.” But scientifically? It’s a growth hormone secretagogue. A fancy term …
