RAD140

Mechanism of Action & Benefits:

Mechanism of Action

RAD 140 works by selectively binding to androgen receptors in the body, specifically in muscle and bone tissues. This selective binding triggers a series of signals that result in muscle build-up, similar to the effects of anabolic steroids. However, unlike anabolic steroids, RAD 140 does not activate these receptors in other body parts, thus reducing potential side effects.

Benefits for Bodybuilding

  1. Increased Lean Muscle Mass: RAD 140 has been shown to increase lean muscle mass. It does this by increasing protein synthesis in muscle tissues, which allows for faster muscle regeneration and growth.

  2. Improved Strength: RAD 140 can improve strength, making it a popular choice among bodybuilders and athletes.

  3. Fat Loss: While not its primary goal, RAD 140 also promotes fat loss. The anabolic effects that boost muscle growth can also influence the breakdown of fatty acids. By burning more calories, RAD 140 limits the conversion of calories to fat and boosts energy levels.

  4. Increased Endurance: RAD 140 can also increase muscle endurance, which can enhance performance in high-intensity training.

  5. Faster Recovery: RAD 140 is valued for its role in speeding up recovery times. By promoting muscle repair and growth, it allows for quicker recovery from intense training.

  6. Neuroprotective Effects: Research also indicates potential neuroprotective effects of RAD 140, although this is not directly related to bodybuilding.

Side effects:

  1. Testosterone Suppression: RAD 140 can suppress the body's natural testosterone production. This can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, depression, and loss of libido. However, this effect is usually temporary and reverses once the cycle is completed.

  2. Increased Aggression: Some users have reported increased aggression and mood swings while using RAD 140.

  3. Nausea and Vomiting: Some users have reported experiencing nausea and vomiting, especially when taking high doses.

  4. Headaches: Headaches are a common side effect reported by users.

  5. Insomnia: Some users have reported difficulty sleeping while using RAD 140.

  6. Hair Loss: While not common, some users have reported hair loss while using RAD 140.

  7. Liver Damage: High doses of RAD 140 can potentially cause liver damage. However, this is a rare side effect and is usually associated with long-term use or pre-existing liver conditions.

Interactions:

  1. Liver Damage: RAD 140 may increase the risk of liver damage, especially when taken with other medications that can harm the liver. This is because RAD 140 has been associated with elevated levels of liver enzymes, such as AST and ALT, which are markers of liver injury.

  2. Heart Issues: There have been reports of heart attack associated with the use of RAD 140. Additionally, a case report documented acute myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) associated with RAD 140.

Dosing Guidelines:

The standard dosage typically ranges from 10-30mg per day, depending on the user's experience level. However, it's important to note that RAD 140 has a long half-life of about 60 hours, which means it doesn't need to be taken daily. If you choose to take it every day, consider this factor when determining your dosage. As a personal recommendation, a daily dose of 10mg taken an hour before your workout could be beneficial.

Cycles typically last 6-10 weeks followed by proper PCT and time off / bloodwork before next cycle.
