Ligandrol (LGD-4033)
One 21-day trial. Testosterone fell.
Grade B: Some human proof
Small, early or mixed results in people.
The grade is for the use people talk about, not for every use. Filed under: SARMs (not approved).
How it works
A SARM. It flips the same switch in the body that testosterone does.
How it was given in studies
By mouth, in its one trial, in 76 men.
This is what the studies did. It is not a how-to. Source: Trial in 76 men. Journals of Gerontology, 2013.
What studies saw
In a 21-day trial of 76 healthy men, lean mass went up.
The trade-off
Their own testosterone and good HDL cholesterol went down, and returned to normal after stopping. Liver injury cases have been published.
When it showed up, in studies
Lean mass up, and testosterone down, within 21 days.
