SARMs Demystified
SARMs which is short for selective androgen receptor modulators, are anabolic steroid-like drugs used to enhance performance. They are used to burn fat and build muscle without the ugly side effects caused by steroids. Their initial use was treating diseases which cause muscle degeneration. Compared to anabolic-androgenic steroids, they are considered the better option since they help build muscle with little to no side effects. They also ensure effective absorption and utilisation since they display a high bio availability.How do SARMs work?
SARMs
enhance skeletal muscle mass and strength in androgen-deficient people.
Their anabolic effect can be compared to that of testosterone. It has
also been known to produce improvements in motorized strength and bone
mineral density according to the dose given. Administration of SARMs can
be done either orally or through injection.
Benefits of SARMs
Improves strength
They increase muscle strength within the first months of use.
Non toxic
They have been proven to be non toxic to the liver and have little effect on blood pressure.
Lean muscle development- studies have shown that taking SARMs causes a significant increase in growth of muscle tissue.
Increased libido
since SARMs have similar effects with testosterone, studies
have shown that men and women who take them have increased sexual
desire.
Tissue selectivity
compared to anabolic steroids, SARMs do not affect any other tissues in the body.
Decrease
in prostate problems- men who use SARMs are at a lower risk of having
prostate problems since they are known to decrease the threat of
prostate problems without muscle mass loss.
Faster injury recovery
SARMS contain components which increase muscle tissue
growth hence enhancing faster healing since the damaged tissue is
replenished faster.
Side effects of SARMs
Large doses of SARMs may cause shutdown or gynaecomastia if currently predisposed to it.
