MK-677 and Blood Pressure

[GreenMachineX]

Has anyone noticed mk-677 to increase their blood pressure? I don't believe it increased mine last run, but I wasn't really watching it. Contemplating starting a low dose run to help heal my shoulder (with osta), but want to make sure of this first. Thanks.

Increased water retention can definitely cause elevated bp.

Only if retention is intravascular in nature though. Typically, you always get both, so it is very possible.

I figured that, but all of the reviews on other forums I don't believe anyone has reported increased BP on this. I'm starting 10mg today and will be monitoring.

You should be gtg bro. Have ran this multiple times at 20mg and had no real bp issues. I think it might be different if you were on on a real cycle, could definitely add to bp issues via water retention.

Potassium is your friend here bro, and lower sodium intake, I also take water retention tablets and have 0 bloat on 25 mg per day

Studies showed that around week 8 BP increased to a significant degree, and then returned to normal around week 12-15 if memory serves me right.

So acute water retention, although certainly a potential culprit of high BP, didn't seem to be the reasoning of the increased BP in the study.
