RAD-140
No human muscle trial. Liver injury on record.
Grade C: Animals and lab only
Looks good in rats or in a dish. Not proven 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 human trial, in 22 women with breast cancer.
This is what the studies did. It is not a how-to. Source: Trial in 22 women. Clinical Breast Cancer, 2022.
What studies saw
Its first human trial was in 22 women with advanced breast cancer. We found no trial of it for muscle in people.
The trade-off
Abnormal liver tests were the most common side effect in that trial. Liver injury cases in men have been published.
When it showed up, in studies
No human timeline for muscle.
