Hi. I am currently 24 years old have recently started MK677 15mg capsules a week ago today. I haven't really been having the side effects I've seen on most forums, such as an increase in hunger (well, I can't really tell because I've always had an appetite), body aches etc. But, I've noticed I seem to have more gas in me, I'm seeming to pass wind quite a lot, I think I did it at least 15 times today (and they do not smell good). I've also had a few stomach upsets over the past week. I ate a yoghurt last week and I had quite a bad stomach ache until I slept on it and woke up fine but had slight nausea through the day. I also ate a piece of fruit last Saturday, during the morning, and had a slight stomach upset. Apart from that, I haven't had any more side effects.
My question is though to the long term users of MK, how long have you been supplementing MK667? How many years do you recommend taking it for maximum? What are your thoughts on IGF-1? I really want to continue using MK-677 as I think it can benefit me, but the more research I am doing on IGF-1, the more put off I am. It's just the role it has in cancer which is kind of scaring me. Seeing how MK elevates the IGF-1 to quite a high level, and I am 24 years so I don't think my IGF-1 levels are low, would this be risky?
Here is a few of the studies I have found on the link between pancreatic cancer and IGF-1:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24809702
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23493758
Maybe I am worrying too much. I've seen quite a lot of users take this supplement and so far I haven't seen anything too negative on it apart from the side effects.
Thanks guys would be really grateful to any replies!
