ANDARINE S-4

ANDARINE S-4

Andarine (also known as S-4, Androxolutamide and GTx-
007) was one of the first SARMs to be discovered. It used to be very popular when SARMs first came on the market,
but in recent years it has become less commonly used due
to it being replaced by more effective SARMs.
Like Ostarine, it was developed by GTx, Inc. for the
treatment of muscle wasting conditions and osteoporosis. It
has also been proven to be effective at reducing prostate
size in rats with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
Unfortunately, Andarine was abandoned and it never
reached Phase I Clinical Trials. This means that we have no
scientific data on the effects of Andarine on humans, but it
has been used recreationally by so many users.The
reason why is that we have SARMs that offer similar or
better benefits without some of the side-effects that
Andarine has. Furthermore, Andarine’s short half-life forces
the user to have to take it in the morning, noon, and
evening, making it less convenient. By reading the rest of
this segment, you will understand why S-4 is rarely used
anymore.

BENEFITS

MUSCLE
While Andarine is clearly effective at building lean muscle
mass, it is not what it excels at. The muscle gains one can
get from Andarine are comparable to those that can be
achieved with Ostarine.
Like all SARMs, however, it will preserve and even increase
muscle mass while on a caloric deficit.

STRENGTH AND PERFORMANCE
According to anecdotal information, Andarine’s strength
increase is slightly greater than that of Ostarine.
Performance and stamina in the gym are also improved.

FAT LOSS
Contrary to what some people claim, Andarine will not make
you lose more fat. However, since it is a dry SARM, it will
make you look leaner and tighter than you really are.
Like all SARMs, it is excellent at keeping muscle mass and
even increasing it while on a caloric deficit.

BONES AND JOINTS
Andarine, like all SARMs, will increase the density and
strength of your bones.
It does not appear to have any impact on joints nor tendons.

RECOVERY
Andarine will make your recovery faster. You will feel less
sore the next day and you will be able to work out those
same muscles sooner.

COSMETIC BENEFITS
The cosmetic benefits of Andarine are the only reason why
some people still choose to run it. This compound is known
for providing a very dry, vascular and tight look. This makes
Andarine a perfect choice when preparing for a
Bodybuilding contest or a photoshoot.
Pumps are also improved, and a more 3D look is
guaranteed with this SARM.

SIDE EFFECTS

TESTOSTERONE SUPPRESSION
Andarine, like all SARMs, will cause a significant drop in
your Testosterone levels. Fortunately, Andarine is one of
the least suppressive SARMs out there so this side effect is
very manageable and easily reversible. Suppression from
Andarine is comparable to that of Ostarine.
The consequences of this drop in your testosterone levels
can be:
– Decreased libido
– Weaker erections
– Lethargy
– Lack of motivation
– Irritability
– Testicular atrophy
– Testicular pain
Thankfully, most users do not experience more than a
couple of these and only for a very limited amount of time,
usually by the end of the cycle and during the first week or
two after the cycle is over.
It is worth noting that Andarine, like all SARMs, will
decrease your SHBG. This will lead to an increase in your
free testosterone levels which usually causes libido,
motivation and well-being to improve during the first few
weeks of the cycle.
