What’s the biggest dilemma in the fitness industry? You guessed it right, losing fat while building more muscles. If you’ve been working out long enough, you’ve probably come across this situation. Months and months of bulking just to be stuck in the worst crosspoint for a bodybuilder: a body that’s well built in terms of muscles while being entirely covered in fat.[/h][h=2]What is the LGD-4033?[/h][h=3]Ligandrol is an oral nonsteroidal SARM that was first discovered by Ligand pharmaceuticals and that’s currently under development by Viking Therapeutics.
[/h][h=2]How does it work?[/h][h=3]Just like any other SARM, the LGD-4033 selectively binds to specific androgen receptors that are found in muscles. Androgen Receptors or ARs are ubiquitous in the body, but Ligandrol isn’t compatible with those found in the eyes or other androgen-rich organs. Being receptor-selective, this substance can be taken orally.
[/h][h=2]Pros and Cons[/h][h=3]Sadly, there aren’t many studies about Ligandrol, that’s why it’s a controversial subject amongst experts. Athletes, bodybuilders, and powerlifters widely use this substance as it has a plethora of benefits with so little side effects that must be noted whatsoever.
1. It boosts muscle growth[/h]LGD-4033 is known to increase T levels in the body, which promotes muscle growth and development. According to a placebo-controlled study published on PubMed, this substance can increase lean body mass, aka muscles, and strength, by mimicking the beneficial effects of natural androgen hormones. These effects include rising the anaerobic cycle and energy production process as well as facilitating blood circulation.
[h=3]2. It increases energy production and anabolic activity[/h]Anabolicum increases energy production, but that alone can cause a severe muscle loss. The key here is that this substance also increases anabolic activity which compensates the energy loss and results in a leaner body with minimal fat.
[h=3]3. No steroids side effects[/h]Prostate cancer is one of the most dangerous side effects of steroids and testosterone. Luckily, LGD-4033 and the other SARMs are selective and only affect some tissues in the body, including muscles and bones, which results in reducing the risk of developing muscle waste diseases like cancer and osteoporosis. Besides, other steroid effects aren’t likely to develop when you consume SARMs, so there’s no risk of acne and hair loss, and no estrogenic effects like high blood pressure and water retention.
[h=3]4. No injections included[/h]Unlike steroids, you don’t need to inject anything into your body. LGD-4033 can be taken through your mouth, which increases its acceptability among people. That’s because, as mentioned several times above, it’s selective, so you don’t have to inject it directly into your muscles. Steroids, on the other hand, can enter any cell in the organism, that’s why one cannot take it through the mouth as it can get to tissues where it shouldn’t be. What’s even better is that despite being an oral medication that passes through the liver, it isn’t hepatotoxic.
[h=2]Side effects?[/h]SARMs look perfect, I know. But as appealing as it may seem, LGD-4033 does have some side effects. Thankfully, they are minimal, even non-existent, and shouldn’t represent a problem if you’re not suffering from an allergy or an exceptional condition. These side effects include headaches, nausea, and fatigue. Besides, most studies about Ligandrol showed that it’s 100% safe and tolerable in most cases. In other words, it’s the perfect medication for those seeking steroid benefits without dangerous side effects.
[h=2]What dose should you take?[/h]If you’re just starting out with Ligandrol, you can begin with a 5mg dose, then increase it accordingly. If you have a big build, you can go with a higher intake. 10mg every 24h-36h period is the most used dose for Anabolicum, while some go for as high as 20mg per day with little to no negative consequences.
Several studies have shown that LGD-4033 could give significant results, aka increase lean mass, within a two-week to three-week period, which is impressive for a supplement.
[h=2]Is LGD-4033 stackable?[/h]Even though it’s perfectly fine on its own, Ligandrol can be stacked with other SARMs, like Cardarine, Ostarine, and Testolone, to meet personal needs and goals. If you’re planning to take LGD with other products, make sure to adjust your daily intake accordingly, but consider increasing your Anabolicum dose instead of combining different SARMs.
What’s comforting is that LGD has virtually no side effects and studies have shown that it’s tolerable for all doses.
