MK-677 + Berberine Insulin Management

MK-677 (Ibutamoren) oral GH secretagogue cycle with Berberine co-administered to counteract MK-677 blood-glucose-raising effects. MK-677 raises IGF-1 and GH pulse amplitude but also increases fasting glucose and reduces insulin sensitivity. Berberine 500mg 2–3x/day with meals activates AMPK to partially offset this.

Step Weeks Dose Compound Note
1 12 25 mg MK-677 (Ibutamoren) 8-16 weeks on.
2 6 0 mg MK-677 (Ibutamoren) 4-8 weeks off.

Rationale

MK-677 should still be cycled (12–16 weeks on, 8+ weeks off) even with Berberine — it does not fully eliminate the glucose impact. Monitor fasting glucose and HbA1c every 3–6 months. Not recommended for pre-diabetics. Track Berberine as a separate compound entry in Doseline. Source: r/peptides, r/Nootropics.
