Didn’t know that but that makes sense! That dude who takes it said it was so I just went along with it lol. Is it technically a peptide or something else?

yes peptide.
very popular with people who choose to not run gh year round. (cost probably)
they go back and forth between the two.

OHHH. that makes a lot of sense. That’s in his actual cycle.
I’m not interested in going on a cycle. I just find all this stuff really interesting. Have you experimented with peptides before? We could continue this on my log so we don’t derail this one lol
Thank you
appreciate the feedback . . it just piqued my interest due to being oral ingestion as opposed to injection but the general consensus seems to be ‘not worth it’

IDK how accurate that is lol but it makes sense to me
Probably pretty apt, I remember one of the sarms in clinical settings causing a high prevalence of fast growing cancers/tumours. I also remember people defending it saying it was because the dose used on rodents was very high, but I think any sane person should still stay well clear, who knows what this crap will do long term.
Same for vaping, early data isn’t positive.

The only sarm that has a good amout of studies/ data is osterine. I have used it. It’s mildly suppressive. You would need a mini pct. Pretty good for muscular endurance. Slight boost in strength.
I have rune lgd and rad as well. They are ok but nothing like test.
You’d be better off doing an oral cycle of tbol or Anavar.

you are referring to cardarine. not a sarm.
Cardarine belongs to a class of drugs called peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonists.
guilty 
the mice they use are born with cancer, I would argue.
it’s an amazing drug though. exercise in a bottle. 10x your endurance.

Ok, if you’re going to twist my arm I’ll look into them haha.
My issue is that I have a mildly obsessive personality so I feel like if I started something like that and got good gains it’d be hard to stop

I’ll take your word for all of that!
All I know is from my observation of the pharmaceutical world, it’s almost always the greater the efficacy, the greater the risks.
