Ostarine MK-2866

The most thoroughly studied experimental muscle-building compound, tested in real human trials for muscle wasting and cancer-related weight loss. Trials showed real gains in muscle and physical function taken as a pill rather than an injection, but it also lowered natural testosterone, and it remains unapproved for any use.

Also known as MK-2866, Enobosarm, GTx-024, O3571H3R8N, MK 2866, enobosarmum, RefChem:136966, Enobosarm [USAN]

Also known as MK-2866/enobosarm; the most-studied SARM, still in FDA clinical trials for muscle wasting (cancer cachexia) but not approved for any use. Not legal in FDA-regulated dietary supplements, and has been linked to suppressed natural testosterone even at moderate doses.
