Yk11 Review: Myostatin Inhibitor Sarm

YK11 was discovered in 2011 by Yuichiro Kanno of Toho University. It is a steroidal selective androgen receptor modulator (sarm). It is a gene-selective partial agonist of the androgen receptor

YK11 is actually a myostatin inhibitor. Myostatin inhibits muscle growth. So by inhibiting the inhibitor, YK11 should elicit more pronounced muscle growth and has also been shown to be more anabolic than dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Here is a published study on YK11 that is worth a read.

Is YK-11 a Steroid or a SARM?

YK-11 was discovered When Yuichiro Kanno  discovered YK-11, he dubbed it as a potential anabolic SARM. However, that label is a little misleading because it certainly has more in common with a steroid than a SARM. Continue reading

Cardarine and How To Use It Safely

Cardarine is not a SARM, even though it constantly gets lumped in with them. This is mainly because its commonly sold on research chemical websites primarily dealing in SARMSs. This is a similar situation to the growth hormone secretagouge MK-677 which often gets miscategorized as well.

Cardarine was developed in the 1990s as a drug candidate for metabolic diseases and cardiovascular diseases.

TB500 Miracle Healing Peptide

TB500 is a synthetic peptide of a naturally occurring protein in the body called thymosin beta-4. Thymosin beta-4 promotes healing by stimulating growth of new blood cells and muscle tissue.

TB500 basically causes Thymosin beta-4 to accumulate in higher concentrations where tissue has been damaged. Continue reading

MENT Review: Trestolone Acetate 101

Trestolone Acetate (7α-methyl-19-nortestosterone) aka MENT, is an extremely powerful steroid discovered in 1963. Trestolone was pretty much abandoned until the 1990s when the Population Council began looking at it as a potential candidate for male birth control and HRT.

MENT induces a state of temporary infertility but has the unique ability to maintain normal biological functions in the complete absence of testosterone. This means that libido, energy levels, and sense of well-being are all maintained when running this compound solo.

This is basically methylated Deca-Nandrolon, which completely changes the parent compounds pharmacology. But it lacks serious hepatotoxic effects because its an Continue reading

GC-1 Sobetirome Review

What is GC-1 and what does it do?

Thyroid hormone regulates the metabolism of food and controls our body’s ability to burn off fat.

GC-1 is also known as Sobetirome. This research chemical is a thyroid hormone receptor agonist. Also known as a thyromimetic, it mimics thyroid hormone without actually being a hormone. To put it in perspective, you could consider this the SARM of thyroid hormones.

GC-1 acts similar to thyroid hormones like T2 and T3 in the body. However, it doesn’t seem to cause negative side effects of thyroid meds like suppression of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels. Other studies show GC-1 to increase  metabolism and fat burning without causing tachycardia, which is a side effect  from using T3.
