Rad 140 Testolone: All You Need to Know
RAD-140 is a selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM) that has the highest anabolic-androgenic activity ratio of 90:1. It’s almost as anabolic as testosterone but has a low binding affinity to androgens. It’s one of the stronger SARMs that is highly selective in targeting lean muscle and bone tissue, leaving your prostate untouched.
The compound was initially discovered in 2010, and currently still under development by Radius. This means the compound is still new, and clinical studies are still limited. RAD-140 is part of a study to help treat breast cancer as well as prevent muscle wasting in postmenopausal women. Now a number of potent and safe SARMs for Sale are there to try for an unimaginable bulking and cutting journey.
Importance of SARMs
The number one factor that makes SARMs so special (aside from their ridiculously inexpensive price tag and easy availability compared to traditional performance-enhancing drugs) has to be the way that these chemical cocktails transform your body.
To understand how SARMs work you have to first understand the physiology of the hormones we all have in our bodies right now.
Think of hormones as little more than chemical messenger boys that run all over your body, communicating with different types of cells in your central nervous system in an effort to trigger different reactions automatically.
Hormones are sent out from the body containing critical instructions to your cells, and as soon as they reach they are “target” the hormone receptors execute the instructions that have been sent.
Androgens are the hormones that produce more masculine traits (a deeper voice, more facial hair, a higher level of lean muscle mass, lower body fat levels, etc.), with the most common androgen hormones being testosterone.
Under normal circumstances, your body produces an average level of testosterone depending upon your genetics. This testosterone is released at a somewhat standardized rate of time, and as you get older less and less testosterone is released according to the number of androgenic hormones that are calling the shots behind the scenes.
By introducing an external source of androgenic hormones, you’re essentially flooding your body with more “instructions” to produce extra amounts of testosterone.
You can accomplish that with anabolic steroids, but you essentially carpet bomb your body with way too many instructions to overproduce testosterone. That’s when all of those dangerous side effects start to happen, and that’s when your body starts to turn its own chemistry against you.
The beautiful thing about using SARMs instead of anabolic steroids is that you get even better results, but you do so with a much more targeted approach.
Instead of flooding your body with way too many hormonal instructions to overproduce testosterone, including instructions to do so in areas of your body that can damage critical organs and tissue, you’ll instead be laser targeting your muscle and your bone cells only – not your prostate, not your liver, and certainly not your brain.
This gives you the increase in muscle mass, strength, and endurance you’re looking for without putting any undue stress on life supporting and sustaining organs.
On top of that, SARMs aren’t going to break down into unwanted molecules inside your body that produce toxic chemicals or sky-high levels of DHT and estrogen – two hormones and biochemical triggers that work to produce the opposite results testosterone produces.
Of course, it also doesn’t hurt that SARMs are significantly less powerful (chemically) than traditional steroids. That means your body isn’t going to have its natural testosterone levels suppressed as heavily, allowing you to “bounce back” and cleanup from using SARMs a lot faster than you ever would have been able to with traditional steroid use.
Research studies and human trials
Since its discovery in 2010, there is still no human clinical research has been conducted with RAD-140 Testolone. Animal, in vivo, and in vitro investigations, however, showed promising results.
Studies conducted in monkeys show that RAD-140 Testolone is capable of stimulating muscle growth through the development of muscles and protein synthesis. There was a noted decrease in lipid levels and minimal liver enzyme increase.
In vivo testing of rat tissues from male rats exhibit neuroprotective abilities while sparing the prostate. This shows promise of the efficacy of RAD-140 in preventing Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. In vivo and in vitro models of androgen receptor and estrogen receptor positive (AR/ER+) models, application of
RAD-140 inhibits multiple growths of breast cancer.
RAD-140 Testolone Side Effects
There’s not enough data to determine the efficacy and safety of RAD-140 Testolone for prolonged use and dosing. Most of the clinical tests done were in vivo and does not involve human studies. Based on the clinical trials conducted, RAD-140 does not show any side effects.
Anecdotal reports, however, do state that RAD-140 is suppressive, requiring PCT. Others also state increased blood pressure, nausea, and aggression. Shutdown is also reported by others, which may be dose-related.
Legality
All our biotech SARMs are carefully scrutinized. Each batch of RAD-140 Testolone must pass a third-party analysis from a US lab for safety and authenticity. RAD-140 Testolone can be purchased legally in the United States, European Union, as well as parts of Asia, as long as you are buying SARMs for research and lab investigation.
Administering RAD-140 on humans and animals is prohibited by law. Highly qualified professionals and researchers are the only ones allowed to handle our liquid SARMs. RAD-140 is strictly for research purposes only. We highly advise that you research and know more about laws and legalities in your area thoroughly before finalizing your purchase of RAD-140.
Are SARMs safe to use?
As of right now, all signs point to SARMs being pretty safe for human use – but again we only have a handful of decades worth of research to go off of and nowhere near the mountain of evidence we have to understand traditional steroid and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Of course, this hasn’t stopped manufacturers of SARMs from running out and touting that these chemical cocktails as a 100% safe alternative to anabolic steroids and other PEDs.
That’s not exactly true and it’s not exactly fair.
While SARMs aren’t going to suppress your body’s ability to naturally produce testosterone that certainly doesn’t mean that they aren’t going to suppress your body’s production of testosterone at all.
Sure, anabolic steroids will suppress your natural production of testosterone a lot more if they are used for the same duration of time as SARMs – but there’s going to be a suppression of this natural production all the same.
On top of that, there has been some research suggesting that SARMs could be used as a form of male birth control. New research shows that these chemical cocktails are capable of lowering the levels of luteinizing hormones and follicle stimulating hormones in the male body, hormones that dictate the amount of sperm and testosterone levels your body produces on its own.
Though SARMs may not be 100% free of side effects, because they are less potent and less biochemically disruptive compared to anabolic steroids and other PEDs they are a lot easier to bounce back from. Athletes, bodybuilders, and weekend fitness warriors that supplement with SARMs should be able to recover from individual SARM cycles a lot faster than they would have with more traditional performance-enhancing substances.

At the end of the day, you’ll have to do plenty of research and due diligence to decide whether or not specific SARMs are right for you and if this is a path to fitness that you are interested in moving forward with.
