Ostarine aka S4

I know that SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) have been spoken about on here previously, Osterine also known as S4 is one of the first that is likely to be released as a treatment for bone and muscle loss.

This drug has just cleared phase 2 trials with good results and is basically being hailed as a steroid without the side effects. Study participants showed increases in lean muscle and bone density without any of the negative effects of steroids. That is, no suppression of HPTA and no change in liver enzymes. The only noted side effect seemed to be a slight increase in prostate, which may or may not be important to finasteride sufferers.

Here is the wiki article however there is tonnes more info available on the web for anyone who’s interested in this. i would also recommend checking out bodybuilding forums.

Whilst this is effectively a band-aid solution, it may be something that guys who are suffering from muscle loss and can’t wait around for a cure may be interested in.

The drug is actually already available for “research” purposes from RUI. in other words you can buy it on a black market steroid site.

I have to say this site seems very legit. I’m not sure what the implications in terms of legality are with this product. As i understand it it is not currently a controlled substance however.

I haven’t tried it personally so don’t ask me about dosages or if it works, however i wouldn’t rule it out in the future.

Looked a bit more into this last night. Bodybuilders seem to be the first to be trying it and found out some interesting things.

  1. According to many people on the bodybuilding forums, this is infact suppressive of HPTA.

  2. There seems to be a common side effect of loss of night vision and difficulty going from brightly lit areas into dark rooms. Most claim this to be temporary but who really knows.

It should be noted however that the average dosage that these bodybuilders are using looks to be around 100mg per day. In the clinical trials the dosage used was 3mg per day. So these guys are using well over 30 times the recommended dose.

I think for the time being however this is a drug better left alone.
