Ostarine, also known as MK-2866 and Enobosarm, is a Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator (SARM) that has been increasingly popular among bodybuilders, athletes, and fitness enthusiasts. It is a non-steroidal compound created by pharmaceutical company GTX Inc. to help prevent muscle wasting in people suffering from degenerative illnesses such as cancer or AIDS. Ostarine was developed for its anabolic effects on bone and muscle tissue without the dangerous side effects associated with steroids.
The main active ingredient of Ostarine is an amino acid called enobosarm which binds to the same receptors in the body as testosterone does but with much more selectivity. This results in increased muscle mass and strength without significant increases in estrogen levels or other unwanted side effects seen with steroids like liver toxicity or gynecomastia (enlargement of male breasts). Additionally, ostarine can help reduce fat mass while preserving lean body tissue due to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity and upregulate glucose uptake into cells.
When taken orally at recommended doses of 25mg-50mg per day over 8 weeks, ostarine has been found to increase lean muscle mass by 5-8% while significantly decreasing fat mass by 2%. In addition to its anabolic properties on bone and muscle tissue, some studies have also suggested that it may improve endurance performance due to increases in aerobic capacity during exercise tests when taken at higher dosages than those recommended for increasing lean body mass such as 50mg – 75mg per day over 8 weeks.
Due to its mild nature compared to other SARMs like Cardarine (GW501516) or Andarine (S4), ostarine has become increasingly popular among fitness enthusiasts looking for a way of gaining muscular strength without having severe negative consequences on their health or physique. Its safety profile makes it suitable even for women who want more toned muscles without having masculinizing side effects associated with anabolic steroids like facial hair growth or deepening of voice due to changes in hormones levels brought about by taking high dosages of these compounds over long periods of time.
Despite being generally safe when taken according to manufacturer’s recommendations and under medical supervision if necessary; there are still potential risks associated with taking any supplement including ostarine which should be considered before beginning any supplementation regimen:
•It can interfere with natural hormonal production if used improperly so it should not be used continuously for extended periods beyond what is recommended;
•It can cause suppression of natural testosterone production so regular blood tests should be done when using this supplement;
•It may interact negatively with certain medications so you should consult your doctor before taking it if you are currently taking any prescribed drugs;
•It may cause changes in cholesterol levels so regular testing should be done while using this supplement;
•In rare cases users have reported feeling anxiousness after taking larger doses than what is usually recommended but this seems largely dose dependent as lower doses seem less likely trigger such feelings;
