NEO sarms - Andarine/S4 General Description
Andarine, aka S4, is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM), developed by GTX.Inc to treat osteoporosis, muscle atrophy and benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Today it’s most commonly used for gaining muscle mass and enhancing fat burning while maintaining a low-calorie diet.
Andarine Benefits
As a result of NEO Sarms S4 cycle, you can expect:
- Notably stronger joints;
- Faster reduction of subcutaneous fat (weight loss);
- Stimulated and faster lean muscle growth.
Some of the benefits of Andarine are not the effects, but the absence of effects. It does not provide most of the side effects you’d get with anabolic steroids:
- No increase in prostate size;
- No need for PCT after a cycle;
- No hair loss;
- No effect on sex hormones (the drug can be used by female athletes).
After Andarin, there are no setbacks, so your physique does not return to “before the cycle” baseline.
No Steroidal Side Effects
S4 acts as a stimulant with moderate anabolic activity, but does not provoke an increase in estradiol concentration (female sex hormones). It’s a significantly safer alternative to anabolic steroids.
S4 practically blocks the binding of natural dihydrotestosterone to prostate receptors, so it does not provoke hair loss, which is often observed among the side effects of oral anabolic steroids.
Weight Loss on S4
The drug stimulates fat burning processes in the body by eliminating the accumulation of lipoprotein lipase. As a result, the concentration of lipids in the blood (fat-like and fatty substances) is normalized.
The most lipase enzymes containing areas are the heart, body fat, skeleton muscles and other tissues in the body, which do not include the liver — so because of this, Andarin does not affect liver function.
Anabolic Effects of Andarine
The active agent of Andarin generates selective anabolic effects in the body. Due to the stimulation of androgen receptors, a large amount of protein begins to be produced to increase muscle volume.
S4 can cause an increase in muscle tissue in size, similar to the effects of anabolic steroids. To achieve a pronounced fat-burning effect, though, it’s best to adhere to a low-calorie diet and keep your workouts intensive & regular.
Andarine Side Effects
Adverse reactions are extremely rare. Compared to the undesirable effects of Trenbolone or testosterone, they are quite mild and can occur in the form of suppressed natural testosterone production.
High anabolic activity of the drug can lead to the concentration of testosterone being reduced during the cycle.
After completing the cycle, the production of the male hormone is restored independently, and in very rare cases (with exceptionally high doses) additional post-cycle therapy is required as well.
Andarine S4 Visual SIde Effects
A yellow hue and "twilight vision”, meaning visibility being impaired in the dark, is one of the most unusual side effects of Andarine. Undesirable effect occurs almost exclusively if the dosage of the drug is exceeded and goes away on its own in approximately 1-2 days once S4 cycle is stopped.
Andarine Administration and Dosage
The half-life of S4 is 4-6 hours.
It’s best to take pills in the morning, one hour after breakfast.
The average dosage of the drug is 25-50 mg. It’s weight-dependent:
- Athletes weighing up to 85 kg — 25 mg of the drug daily for 6-8 weeks;
- Athletes weighing more than 85 kg — 50 mg per day.
At these doses, the administration should be divided into 2 parts — first capsule in the morning, second after the workout or during the day.
Despite the fact that Andarin does not lead to impaired liver function and adverse reactions are rare, it's not recommended to exceed the dosage.
