Benefits of Ibutamoren Treatment

There are a number of reasons to consider Ibutamoren treatment including increased lean body mass, increased bone density, decreased body fat levels, and improved sleep quality, all of which would be expected with improved levels of growth hormone and IGF-1. As we mentioned already, Ibutamoren was created and is still being researched for the purposes of attenuating muscle wasting diseases which are in some ways just an exaggeration of the normal aging process. All of these potential benefits are unsurprising as Ibutamoren has been repeatedly shown to increase growth hormone by up to 79% and IGF-1 by up to 50%. Through the increases in growth hormone and IGF-1, Ibutamoren has the ability to reduce the amount of lean body mass that is lost while on a calorie-restricted diet for weight loss. 

Perhaps the most underappreciated benefits of Ibutamoren is its ability to improve sleep quality. Lack of adequate sleep is a major contributing factor to chronic disease risk, muscle loss, fat gain, and countless more unwanted effects. Fortunately, Ibutamoren has even more profound sleep-enhancing effects than most other growth hormone secretagogues. One study found that treatment with Ibutamoren increased Stage 4 sleep duration by 50% and REM sleep by 20%. All compounds that increase growth hormone levels in the body should enhance sleep in most people. However, the research suggests that Ibutamoren is especially adept at increasing both sleep quality and quantity.
