Overdose? Act now. Call emergency services — say "unresponsive, not breathing". Give naloxone for opioid-like signs. Hotlines
⚡What it does
- Selective androgen receptor modulation: muscle/strength gains weaker than steroids with (claimed) fewer androgenic sides; MK-677 (a ghrelin agonist, not a SARM) boosts appetite/GH
⚠Key risks
- ZERO human approval — no long-term safety data anywhere; liver enzyme elevations documented; liver injuries reported to FDA
- Suppression: they shut down natural testosterone — users need real PCT, which grey-market sellers never mention
- Cardarine (GW-501516) caused cancers in rodent studies at human-equivalent doses — the mouse study that killed its development
- Sold as 'legal steroids' with fake COAs; most products are underdosed or mislabeled
- Vision side effects (yellow tint, night blindness) with S-4
- WADA-banned — tested athletes pop hot regularly
✚Overdose signs
- Jaundice, dark urine (liver)
- Severe suppression symptoms: depression, libido collapse
- Vision changes (S-4)

| SARMs (Ostarine, LGD-4033, RAD-140, S-4) | Not approved for human use anywhere; WADA-banned; FDA warnings; 'research chemical' grey market | ZERO human approval — no long-term safety data anywhere; liver enzyme elevations documented; liver injuries reported to FDA; Suppression: they shut down natural testosterone — users need real PCT, which grey-market sellers never mention | $30–$80 per 30 mL bottle — the gym-shop economy |
| Testosterone (injections & gels) | Schedule III | Shutdown of natural testosterone production (needs PCT); Cardiovascular strain, raised blood pressure, lipid damage | ~$40–$80 per 10 mL vial grey-market |
| Somatropin (Human Growth Hormone) | Rx-only; Schedule III/IV equivalent in most regions | Counterfeit rate near total — independent tests find most 'HGH' is hCG, IGF, or nothing; Real GH at abuse doses: insulin resistance, carpal tunnel, organ growth (acromegaly features) | ~$2–$10 per IU grey-market |
| Prohormones (1-Andro, 4-Andro, Superdrol clones) | Many Schedule III | They ARE steroids — liver stress (methylated ones like Superdrol clones cause real hepatotoxicity), shutdown, lipid destruction; The 2014 DASCA banned dozens; post-DASCA 'legal' ones keep getting scheduled one by one | $30–$70 per bottle |
