SARMS

​

SARMs or Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators are a new class of androgen receptor ligands. A ligand in this context is a complex biomolecule that serves a biological purpose. The most unique thing about SARMs is that they are very specific or targeted in the way they act. In simplest terms, they provide all the benefits of improved anabolic activity, with minimal to even reversed hormonal effects.

People who have good genetics, or even a lack thereof are tempted to try things like testosterone or anabolic steroids to get better results, faster. This however comes at a heavy price. Side effects notwithstanding, most people abuse these substances and end up in far worse shape.

SARMs provide the opportunity to achieve superior anabolic results due to their targeted activity. We will go over that in a bit, but before that another fact about SARMs is that they can be administered orally and have the same targeted effect.

​

Testosterone is the most commonly used anabolic steroid. While results can be fast to achieve, so are the side effects which are not limited to male pattern baldness, testicular atrophy, elevated blood pressure, steroid-induced rage or aggression, lower sperm count, liver disease, heart dysfunction and gynecomastia. There is also a high risk of addiction.

​

Anabolic steroids are akin to using a hammer of androgens on your system whereas SARMs are a scalpel – they are targeted and precise and avoid the collateral damage caused by a hammer. You want to drive in a nail, but not crack the wall.

SARMs bind to specific tissues like muscle and bone, but not to others, like the prostate, liver, and brain.
