Last time I ran it it didn’t effect hunger much after a week or two on it. But I don’t want to stuff my face for two weeks to see if this side effect goes away again. Also, mk raises cortisol, and that makes me think it’s not the best idea to run it during pct.
I’ve never heard that it increases cortisol. Where did you hear that? Anyway, I’d think it could be helpful in the short term on PCT due to the increased food intake most experience helping to not lose as much muscle post-cycle. But the other thing is that most also report improved sleep from MK, which would help recovery, which is generally lacking in the post-cycle window. The actual gains from GH tend to take longer to manifest, so you just need to weight out what would benefit you most from short term supplementation.
Yesterday I read the abstract of a study that lasted a year and the participants had an increase in cortisol but the increase may not have been significant. Now I’m looking at a short term study that says the cortisol increase is temporary. Either way, it appears it increases cortisol, at least briefly, but it may not be by a significant amount.
