SARM is an acronym for Selective Androgen Receptor Modular, developed as a muscle supplement primarily used to treat muscle-wasting diseases such as Sarcopenia. Before SARMs were developed, anabolic-androgenic steroids or AAS were the leading choices for treating the disease. However, several severe side effects occurred to patients caused by the steroid compound, such as acne, hair loss, prostate enlargement, gyno, kidney failure, heartburn, etc.
Understanding SARM and How Do They Work
SARMs, in general, due to their anabolic nature, are routinely compared to anabolic steroids or anabolics for short. Competing bodybuilders mainly use hardcore anabolics like Deca-Durabolin, Dianabol, Testosterone, Anavar, Winstrol, Trenbolone, etc., as they are known to have significant hypertrophy effect on the muscles. Unfortunately, they come with several undesirable side effects that may cause harm to the body or even death. Notable sufferers like Rich Piana, Dallas McCarver, etc. Are an avid user of anabolic steroids, and these guys went to the extreme with their dosage and suffered the consequences. Sadly, both athletes have passed away caused by steroid-related heart problems. This pretty much highlighted the dangers of steroid use.
SARMs, however, are not steroids. They have a different mechanism, as they bind to the androgen receptors, and subsequently, they selectively stimulate the muscles and bone mass, causing them to grow. To simplify, SARMs offer the benefits of steroids without their side effects. As a caveat, please exercise caution pertaining to the dosage when administering. Doctor’s consultation is strongly advised as they are able to prescribe you the appropriate dosage for safe and reasonable usage of the compound.
Health Benefits of SARMs
SARMs are non-toxic to the liver, which means that cycling them has less intense strains or demands to the organs, and they are considerably cheaper than steroids. Here are a few noteworthy health benefits of SARMs:
- They Build Muscle and Strengthen the Bone
- They Get Rid of Excess Weight by Burning Fat
- They Significantly Improve Athletic Performance
- They Can Be a Treatment for Prostate Issues
- They Improve Libido Resulting in Better Sex
- They Increase Appetite Resulting in Better Eating Habit
- They Improve Sleep Quality Resulting in Better Muscle Recovery
Are They Safe?
SARMs are not yet granted FDA approval. Therefore, they are still illegal to be sold in public. However, several nutritional supplement companies have already put them on display for their effective use in the fitness industry. As they are still actively researched, their safety is still equivocal.
Low quality and fake counterfeited SARMs are prevalent. We strongly advise purchasing from a trustworthy and credible source, as using SARM’s imitation could lead to potential health risks.
Conclusion
If you are not competing in bodybuilding or aspiring to be one and are not suffering from any muscle-wasting diseases, we urge you not to utilize the compound. Even though they are a safer alternative to anabolic steroids, they are not completely risk-free. Always consult a certified doctor before incorporating them into your life.… Read the rest
