Selective androgen receptor modulators, or SARMs for short, sound mythical. The ideal SARM has all the positive effects of anabolic steroids, while not having any of the downsides or side effects. In general, the positive effects are considered to be its muscle-building effect and its stimulatory effect on bone mineral density. All the other effects […]

RAD-140 – Finally a Worthwhile SARM?
Q: “You’ve previously written that SARMs such as Ostarine are more hype than reality. They imitate the name of SERMs, claiming to be “Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators” to have a name that might go over better with the public than “anabolic steroids” does. Well you didn’t say exactly that but that was what I got […]
The Use of SARMs During Steroid Cycles or PCT
Q: “How should I incorporate SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators) into my steroid cycle or into PCT?” You should not do so. Various authors in the scientific literature have tried to make it appear that in contrast to anabolic steroids, SARMs somehow will have an improved side effect profile or an increase in dissociation between […]
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators for HIV Wasting and Cancer Cachexia
Will Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators Replace Anabolic Steroids? Oral selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are investigational agents. Studied since 1998, they are still very much in the infancy of their development and marketing. SARMs may be able to provide the benefits of increased muscle mass and bone density, and fat loss that testosterone and other […]
SARMs for Post Cycle Therapy?
Q: Are SARMs (selective androgen receptor modulators) a good idea to add to your post cycle therapy (PCT)? And if so, why do you not see them being used during PCT by many people? And lastly, does anyone think SARMs are going to eventually replace anabolic steroids? Any info would be greatly appreciated. A: I don’t think […]
Recently Approved and Future Testosterone Related Products
Nelson Vergel, author of “Testosterone: A Man’s Guide” discusses several recently approved and future testosterone-related products: Underarm Spray: In an attempt to reduce the risk of transference of testosterone to others, a company called Acrux developed Axiron, a testosterone underarm product. Axiron has been studied in 155 men in six countries and 26 sites. The […]
Are SARMs Effective for Post Cycle Therapy?
Q: Are SARMS effective for post cycle therapy (PCT)? I’ve read about studies showing that SARMs are only suppressive at dosages greater than 50mg per day. So wouldn’t SARMS be ideal for PCT since they didn’t interfere with testosterone production? A: It needs to be kept in mind that there are situations where low dose […]
Infinite Number of Undetectable Designer Steroids with Combinatorial Chemistry
Researcher Jason Thomas, a graduate student in the doctoral program for synthetic organic chemistry at City University in New York, takes us inside the mind of a designer steroid chemist in an interview with Culturekiosque. Thomas describes a powerful tool that has the potential to create an infinite number of undetectable, designer anabolic steroids. Once steroid […]
