About MK-677 (Ibutamoren)

MK-677 (Ibutamoren) is an orally active growth-hormone secretagogue and ghrelin-receptor agonist studied for its effect on growth-hormone and IGF-1 levels. Note: it is a non-peptide small molecule, not a peptide, despite often being grouped with growth-hormone peptides. This entry is informational and is not a recommendation to use the compound.

Questions, answered.

What is MK-677 (Ibutamoren)'s half-life?
MK-677 (Ibutamoren)'s elimination half-life is approximately 24 hours, based on published pharmacokinetic data. That means about half of a dose is eliminated in that time, half of the remainder in the next interval, and so on.
How long does MK-677 (Ibutamoren) stay in your system?
Using the ~5-half-lives rule of thumb, a single dose of MK-677 (Ibutamoren) is roughly 97% eliminated after ~5 days. Actual clearance varies with dose history, route, and individual metabolism — treat this as an educational estimate, not a measurement.
Do levels build up with repeated doses?
Yes — if a new dose lands before the previous one is eliminated, the remainders stack. With consistent dosing, estimated levels reach steady state after roughly four to five half-lives. Peptilot's Levels feature stacks this exact curve across your logged doses so you can see the estimate for your own history.
