What is Ostarine?

I wanted to ask this yesterday.

My friend was on longer trip.
He visited some European countries and Asia and brought me some supplements.

Whey protein and maltodextrine are OK, just I have no idea what the hell is Ostarine (bottle also says MK-2866).

He swears to me that it is not a steroid.
Google also says is it not a steroid.
Google mostly gives me just prices and pages to order. Or articles about it’s benefits (cut fat, build muscles, joint repair…)

There is 90 capsules, 10mg each and is directed to take 2 caps a day.

I do not plan to actually take it, until I know what this is, and until I need it.
Anyone has experience with it? And what should I do with it?

Its a SARM, since you googled you probably saw that already. I dont know how else to answer your only question “what is it?”.
You have enough to take 20 mg for alittle over 6 weeks(most take 25mg). You will mildly shutdown, you should go for 8 weeks also. You dont really “need” anything but you can use it when cutting to preserve muscle mass very effectively. I used it before to preserve muscle during a 3 week period with no weights and only bw exercises.

Thank you for detailed answer.

I don’t think that I need this yet. And I probably won’t use it for next year or so… so I will also ask you is this shelf stable?
And mildly supressive means that PCT is needed? Because pages that sell that say no, and on other places answers are mixed.

I also have no idea how this thread ended in Pharma section since I think I originally posted it in Supplement section…

It’s a clinical stage pharmaceutical drug that’s being investigated for its ability to treat stress urinary incontinence in women.

I theory you should do a PCT but you’d probably get by without it.

Is it even worth taking then? LOL

So if I ever do decide to use it - I should get some Nolvadex and do 40mg and then 20mg dosing like standard PCT protocol?

If you’re going to run an oral-only cycle then why not use something that works really well instead of a grey market clinical drug that’s more hype than results? That’s my opinion.

I agree, I see it like this - if Im already getting shut down and I need to get PCT drugs… then why not do a proper cycle with 500mg of test a week?

Also, oral only seems to be bad choice even if you take oral version of test.

And I have lots of natural potential to reach, so I’m not even near the point where I need steroids, so I’ll try to either give this to someone or whatever. And wait for some more years before even thinking of doing juice…
