This video is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to be any sort of medical advice. I am not a doctor and know nothing about medicine. My only intention in making this video is to present a question for discussion in order to seek answers regarding the possibility of the SARM RAD 140 and its potential usefulness in helping men with prostate cancer that are in a treatment that reduces the Testosterone in their bodies.
Testosterone is vital for normal muscle and brain function but can also aggravate prostate cancers. My question is can a SARM like RAD 140 that simulates Testosterone in the body but is also known to not negatively effect the prostate, could RAD 140 be a substitute for Testosterone allowing for proper hormone function without the negative effects on the prostate?
Your doctor is going to be the best person to help you manage your TRT and make sure to keep you healthy along the way so in most cases your doctor is not going to add in anything other than perhaps HCG and/or an Estrogen blocker, some clinics may prescribe HGH (Human Growth Hormone). All that said there are always going to be those out there wanting to get a little bit more boost out of their TRT so what options are there that will not mess up what you are already accomplishing with your doctor and TRT Program?
Before I get into all of this, remember I am not a doctor or specialist on the subject nor is any of what I am going to say in this article even real advice or information on the subject. The following information is simply for entertainment purposes. While I am rambling on about the disclaimers I may as well mention that SARMs are not for human consumption and are only intended for testing purposes and under no circumstances should any human take SARM's. You may buy them and force them on your lab animals if you chose to do so...
OK so let's begin. If you are already on a TRT Program and have a doctor assisting you with this or even if you are self managing your own TRT Program, you still may want to get a little more out of your TRT. How can you do this without disrupting already managed Testosterone levels? What I mean is you don't want to take some other PED (steroid) that could mess things up.
My personal opinion if you are already happy with how the Testosterone Replacement Therapy is going and want to keep all of that on track is to look at a few of SARMs options that will help you get the most out of your Testosterone Replacement Therapy without interfering with it. All of this is figurative and theoretical since SARMs are not made for human consumption!
First on my list would be MK-677 (Ibutamoren) Technically not a SARM but rather a secretagogue. Increases Growth Hormone by making the body produce its own Human Growth Hormone. Watch my Video on MK-677. The benefits of MK-677 are an increase and persevere muscle loss especially in a caloric deficit. Decrease body fat. Increase bone density. Improve cognitive function. Slow the aging process. Speed up the healing processes. Help you sleep better and increase REM sleep.
Next you may want to add in some YK-11 (Myostatin Inhibitor) as YK-11 is claimed to reduce Myostatin in the body which allows the muscles to keep growing beyond their genetic disposition.
Lastly I would consider SR-9009 (Stenabolic) otherwise know as exercise in a pill! SR-9009 speeds up your metabolism, improves endurance, prevents muscle wasting, helps with recovery, reduces cholesterol levels and can even reduce blood pressure.
All of these options do not mess with you sex hormones and will not shut your body down or interfere with your TRT Program. In fact you Testosterone and Estrogen levels should not change at all on any of these SARMs I have listed.
This article is not intended as medical advice nor am I a doctor or specialist on the topic of SARMs. All information provided is simply just my personal thoughts on the subject of SARMs. In no way am I recommending anyone take SARMs.
Before we begin, it must be understood that SARMs are strictly for research use and not intended for Human Consumption at this time so taking a SARM will have unknown risks involved. For this reason if you are a human, I do not recommend using or taking SARMs.
That said I know lots of people are going to take SARMs irregardless for various reasons anyway (Just like Steroids). So here is what I think about the subject without getting into a lot of detail as I am far from an expert and only want to talk about this subject as I get asked about it a lot and often people want to know where they can get SARMs from.
At this time yes, because research chemicals like SARMs are not for human consumption meaning they can not be sold as a supplement. They must be sold strictly as research chemicals. This status could change at any time as the Government has recently been getting involved and trying to figure out just what to do with and how to classify SARMs.
So Why Are People Considering SARMs Over Steroids?
SARMs are usually in pill form, so you do not need to inject them. So much easier to take.
SARMs are considered to have similar benefit to steroids with potentially a lot less of the negative side effects.
Some SARMs I feel have are worth following as they have a lot of potential, perhaps not right now but once more research has been done.
MK-677 (Ibutamoren) Technically not a SARM but rather a secretagogue. Increases Growth Hormone by making the body produce its own Human Growth Hormone. Watch my Video on MK-677
Rad-140 (Testalone) Works like Testosterone in your system but with less risk of Breast and Prostate cancer side effects.
SR-9009 (Stenabolic) Exercise in a pill! Speeds up metabolism, improves endurance, prevents muscle wasting, helps with recovery, reduces cholesterol levels, can even reduce blood pressure.
YK-11 (Myostatin Inhibitor) Reduces Myostatin in the body which allows the muscles to keep growing.
My Take-away on all of this is that SARMs are probably going to be the new PEDs of the future, maybe even eliminating Steroids altogether. SARMs may also have a place in the health system for people with muscle wasting diseases and prostate or breast cancer. If you decide you want to start using SARMs now then don’t be surprised if you grow a third arm, just kidding but you are for sure taking risks, will the benefit outweigh the risks? That’s for each person to decide on their own.
MK-677 is not a steroid or even a SARM (Selective androgen receptor modulator). MK-677 (Ibutamoren) is a secretagogue which is a chemical or substance that trigger secretion of a different substance. With MK-677 it triggers the secretion of Growth Hormone (GH). It actually makes your body produce its own natural GH via the Pituitary Gland.
They are the same as the benefits of increased Growth Hormone (GH).
MK-677 can increase and persevere muscle loss especially in a deficit.
Decrease body fat. (Also increases your appetite).
Increase bone density.
Improve cognitive function.
Slow the aging process.
Speed up the healing processes.
Help you sleep better and increase REM sleep.
How Much to Take and How to Take it:
Most studies where done using a 25mg dose in pill form but more or less can be taken. 25mg seems to be the optimal dose for most people to see best overall results in terms og Human growth hormone and IGF-1 (Insluline Growth Factor) release.
The half life of MK-677 is 24 hours (stays in your system for 24 hours) so you can take it just about any time. Most people take it before bed as it can make you a bit tired and or drowsy. It’s also best to have more Growth Hormone (GH) being released while you are sleeping and in a recovery adn muscel building mode.
Typically they are the same side effects you would experience taking real injectable Growth Hormone (GH).
Possible numbness in hands and feet.
Some people can get tired and lethargic.
Some people experience swelling/fluid retention which can cause joint and muscle pain.
If you have diabetic condition MK-677 may not be good for you since it can reduce insulin sensitivity and increase blood sugar.
Many of these side effects can be eliminated by possibly reducing the amount you take and or even simply letting your body adjust to it. So start off with a smaller dose and then increase it bit by bit till you get to the 25mg level for less possible side effects. Women can work up to a lower dose of around 10-15mg.
Yes MK-677 is legal to buy, sell and process, so having the product in your possession is not illegal. That said MK-677 is classified as an “Unscheduled Drug” since it is not fully tested or approved for human consumption. Because of this MK-677 is marketed and sold as a “Research Chemical”.
MK-677 is a Growth Hormone (GH) secretagogue that really works as claimed! Just like real injectable Growth Hormone (GH), MK-677 has been shown to increase GH and IGF-1 levels quite significantly all while being relativley safe and side effect free. There are more possible benefits then shortcoming when it comes to using MK-677 but make sure you keep your expectations realistic. Price wise you can buy a months supply for about $50 which is incredible cheap compared to actual Growth Hormone (GH) which would also require a prescription and injecting several times per day. Not to mention that MK-677 (Ibutamoren) makes your body create more of its own Growth Hormone (GH) so as soon as you stop taking it you will simply return to normal levels.
