Also, MK's effect on the pituitary is limited by the bodies glucose metabolism . so if you have too many carbs from eating flowing in your blood, then MK's effect of releasing natural growth hormone is going to be limited .. at night/sleep we are not eating and so MK won't be effected by this.
I will say . this is just the OPPOSITE with exogenous HGH administration . We do NOT want to inject HGH at night before bed, because we will turn off our own production of GH from the pituitary . but MK-677 is not like this, it works to help the pituitary produce MORE GH release at night.
IF I do take MK-677 at night as well as the next day, I make sure the next day its taken in fasted condition and not eat for at least an hour afterwards.
with exogenous HGH itself, it doesn't matter though as thats going right into the blood stream completely independent of the pituitary or glucose metabolism . so you can take HGH anytime . MK works better fasted.
BUT , I'm open to learning more. maybe I'm off in my thinking here.
