The SARM LGD-4033, also known as Ligandrol, has a high affinity for androgen receptors. Unlike testosterone, which exerts its anabolic effects through the same pathway, LGD-4033 is highly selective for receptors in skeletal muscle, bone, and connective tissue, with minimal affinity for receptors in the prostate, scalp, and skin.
Description
SARMS LGD 4033
The SARM LGD-4033, also known as Ligandrol, is a third generation nonsteroidal oral SARM with a high affinity for androgen receptors (Ki of approximately 1 nM). It is the second most popular SARM currently on the market. Unlike testosterone, which exerts its anabolic effects through the same pathway, LGD-4033 is highly selective for receptors in skeletal muscle, bone, and connective tissue, with minimal affinity for receptors in the prostate, scalp, and skin.LGD 4033 Benefits Clinical Studies
Muscle MassBone Recovery
A Phase 1 clinical trial in which 76 adult males were given different doses of LGD-4033 orally showed that lean body mass increased with increasing doses and was well tolerated by all 76 subjects over 21 days. The Phase 2 clinical trial included 120 subjects recovering from hip fracture surgery. Subjects received placebo, 0.5, 1, or 2 mg of LGD-4033 over 12 weeks.
